Plumbing is still underway.
Is this the never-ending saga.......???
My house is always a never ending saga.
What's keeping you in what seems like a money pit?
It's 40 years old, needs to be essentially rebuilt from the ground up.
And you're the one to do it?

A 40 year old home isn't old. . . the house I live in is older than that. . . and it required way less work than what you're having to put into this place.

Email migration. Moving our email from Vultr in Paris, to our Scale HC3 cluster in Los Angeles.

Plumbing just wrapped up! Time for tile work to start.

Interesting. Why was the email workload in Paris? Just for testing?
-

We were more based there at the time. It's been there for a couple years.

All is now right in the world. It's Opening Day, and I now have my Microsoft natural keyboard at my office workstaion.
I prefer cheap, classic rectangles. It’s funny. But “free with the desktop” are consistently my favourite.
I go with the basic rectagle also. I do not use the free with desktop one, only because I want wireless.
Just bought a new one Tuesday. First one in like 7 years.
That's awesome your has two Windows keys. Using Gnome with Wayland, I miss having the extra Windows key on the right when I'm using a Windows VM.

Only if it was poorly constructed.
Updating things, yes. but reconstructed is an overstatement.

It was a random low cost Microsoft wireless keyboard and mouse combo at MicroCenter.

Plumber sent me outside to turn on the water for the house. Then there was a lot of screaming. Everyone in the house is very wet now. Water off, more plumbing underway.
Oh my. Might have been cheaper to fly Art down there
and it would be done by now ha ha haThat or me,... wow.. That is a lot of hours - and likely over time hours as well..
Doing all of it for $80.
This is the problem. Hire a professional.
You harp on this in IT, why didn't you apply that same logic to the plumber?

He got it done, saved us a fortune. This is what he does full time. Might have taken a little longer, but he was overworked and falling asleep. He literally passed out into the tub at one point. That was not helping him.
He was redoing ancient plumbing that all had to be ripped out. He wasn't fast, but it definitely was the right decision. Speed was of nearly zero consequence, but saving money was.

Trashed two more microSD cards today... I hate those little buggers, never meant to be used as storage devices for an operating system.

This is likely the MILLER email - NTG uses O365 for the now.

I take it you've never done plumbing? I ran the lines for my new bathroom in the basement - time consuming, but really, not hard.
