I didn't know Google moved into a new building in downtown Portland!

Long day of meetings so here is a picture of my cat who fell asleep like this

Cooking with a new to me vegetable from the CSA: stem lettuce!
Beginning to wrangle the wires
Me staring at my todo list for the next...month??
Just installed a phone in Lily's office and connected it to the house PBX so that it rings when someone rings the front doorbell, and you can call it from other intercoms and phones in the house!
Tonight I had *three* false alarms where dog walkers picking up their dog poop from the driveway set off the siren. I feel bad when people who pick up after their dog set off the alarm because I'm glad they are being responsible! But also tonight I had two people wander in, one smoking something and the other stealing some trash.
Five alarms in one night was enough for me to attempt to fix this.
So now, if everything goes according to plan, if an animal is spotted in the driveway it will disarm the alarm for 5 minutes. That should give the nice people who pick up after their dogs enough time to do so without triggering the siren.

Trying to do a decent job at cable management in these low voltage panels.
Put the misting pump in the attic but the spigot up there is leaking so I had to run a hose around to the other one for now.

I don't know why I'm so excited to have a fully functional landline phone system in the house, complete with wired and wireless phones, local extensions for each room, voicemail boxes, bidirectional connection with the intercom system, and inbound and outbound dialing. Complete phone nerdery over here, someone should probably stop me.
I just installed the living room intercom! This end is done, the other end in the network closet is done enough for it to be working but will need some tidying up still.
