Ethan Evenson and I shifted renovation adventures to the outdoors this evening. We decided to start pulling out and old goat pasture fence. There’s a lot of it and I’d like to open that area up on my property.

So today’s adventure in renovation. Ethan was rigging up a temporary light. There was a wire that kept getting in his way. I decided to help. I cut the wire to remove it thinking it was old phone line like I had pulled out of other areas of the house. Well this one was the most critical wire in the whole property. INTERNET. Yep. I cut the DSL line. Fortunately I usually have a box of CAT 6 sitting around. I had to cut an access port in the ceiling near the ingress point of the DSL line. Go outside and open the utility box you’re supposed to pay someone hundreds of dollars to access. I disconnected the old wire and connected up the new. I was also able to relocate the connection box to a better spot. Plugged things in and watched the lights all sync up. Except one. It stayed red. I’m thinking we’ll, go flip a couple of the wires. Just as I was about to do that it flipped blue. Speedtest showed 30M. I pay for 25. Bonus. That’s it for renovation adventures up north. Stay tuned tomorrow to see what the fuck we’re going to do to line up the 18 foot support beam we tried to install today.
