Monday: OAC/MEPFP meeting
Jun. 17th, 2024 08:05 pmR. took MIL to the construction site. She seemed in good spirits and came back the same. She’d left her cane at Chebeague, so T. and J. stopped by to drop it off in the early evening. R. intercepted the architect’s preference for a wooden garage door, so we’ve got a 2 inch steel door instead, better for fire, better R value (which matters, as it is a conditioned space) and lighter than the one with wood cladding. *massive sigh of relief* I hadn’t even realized that a wood clad garage door was being considered.
I realized today that there are a bunch of Philips alternative bulbs out there, including some Amazon Basics smart bulbs. I ordered a 4 pack to experiment with in my table lamp. We know that the dimmer works, and R. has an alexa compatible Leviton dimmer that works even better, so we’ve got some really good options already. I’m ripping out all the Philips bulbs from the plan, altho that does still leave an insane amount of LED strip lighting.
J. called from the builder, which was nice, altho I was on a walk with M. at the time.
Oh, and a question arose regarding pool controls. We’ve got Jandy equipment, so it’s iAquaLink and has what appears to be decent alexa integration. The home automation deities smiled for once.
If things ever settle down around here, I’m going to take a day and go out to the site and sit in the trailer and gossip with people and start Fixing Things.
