The Dungeon aka Basement
Posted on December 20, 2011 - Filed Under building, Business, gaming, This Town | Leave a Comment
The basement of the store is used for our weekly Friday Night Magic the Gathering and every week we see more and more game players attend our friday night session. To make it more comfortable for the players – we are currently thinking of putting in some basement flooring instead of leaving it as concrete [...]

6 years ago we bought a house and have had some regrets ever since. First off, 2 weeks after we moved in, excavators showed up at 6:30am to start clearing the lot next to us so they could drop another house down 8 feet away. Yup, it’s -that- close. A little later [...]

Just for shits and giggles I called up the leasing agent for the old Movie Gallery location, wondering how much the rent is there. I knew it was going to be high but it never hurts to ask. The space is much bigger, 3600 sq. ft. compared to the 1200 sq. ft. we’re [...]

Have you seen Homer rocking on our windows lately? This year we are very pleased that we got our xmas decoration up this early. Our friend who was into motorhome towing came to help with his kids and our kid and their kid had so much fun putting up the Christmas lights and [...]

Someone was in the store the other day.. and asked my view regarding Th ‘Yarc and the present debate and fiasco that is going on .. about whether it should be on Parade Street or Collins Street? Who do I support? I’m an inside outsider and really I cannot give my comments nor [...]

We’ve just received our lease renewal .. from the landlord’s office – time flew, already we are at this location for the last 2 years. We were previously 2 doors away for 2 years – same landlord but bad feng shui at that time for us – so we moved to this new location. [...]

The basement here is full of junk, stuff that will probably never sell but I refuse to throw away. The basement home is also full of junk, stuff that I might need someday, for something. But it’s too much and kept for too long so this spring I need to start tossing stuff. [...]

I was thinking yesterday that something has been different around the store lately and today I figured out what it was. During the warmer months, when the days are longer, for a short period every evening, the sun glares in through the back window. This causes a bad glare off my monitor so [...]

There’s a lot of ‘planning’ going on in this town lately in regards to the town owned oceanfront property along Water Street all the way down as far as Bunkers Island. Are those tanks on Bunkers even in use any more?
Some speculate that we’re going to get a mega yacht dock, others claim a [...]
Home Inspections
Posted on June 25, 2008 - Filed Under building | 1 Comment
Even though the house we bought was new, we still had a home inspection done before we signed the papers. While it wasn’t really needed for a new house we still felt it was a good idea. If buying an older home I’d think it would be absolutely necessary to make sure everything [...]

Some things about this new store confuse me. The electrical system was all redone less than 2 years ago and some other renovations were done at the same time. For instance, there are some network jacks in the walls in a couple of places, but some of them don’t work. I assume [...]

I spent a couple hours today cleaning up my work area. I had put some shelves on the wall not too long ago so that helped with the space problems. Now it’s more of a height problem. The counter is too low to work at standing up and too high to work [...]

I’m glad winter is finally gone. Whenever we get really cold weather here, the deadbolt on our front door at home freezes shut and no amount of lock de-icing helps to break it. I have to take it apart from the inside dry it all out with a hair dryer and then everything [...]

It was announced yesterday that Yarmouth will be getting a new High School by 2011. The current one was built in 1951 and is in need of some renovations. After looking at the cost to renovate and expand the existing building, it was decided that an entirely new school was a better option, [...]
