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.
Well this is gonna be a fun project 😅
Made 16 bottles of habanero hot sauce!

Appliances! It's starting to feel like a real house!
I just got FreePBX up and running and connected to a WiFi phone and my doorbell and video intercom system! I have two way calling between every device, I can even connect analog phones!
What shenanigans should I rig up next? I'm thinking maybe an old payphone at the street, or maybe an old 1920s style phone for the speakeasy...

Stair railing progress while I was away this week!
Apparently the stud in the middle was slightly warped and the mirror wasn't sitting straight. They opened up the wall to shave the stud down a bit. Gives me a chance to clean up the wiring a bit while it's open
I got the TV installed in the train bathroom! It's so cool! If you close the bathroom door it's really surreal because it's the only frame of reference for outside the bathroom.
This video is the train from Portland to Seattle. Now we just have to ride a bunch more trains and stick a camera out the side on all of them.

Got everything set up for the photo booth for the MySpace ride tomorrow! Ready to roll out the door!
Hopefully the weight distribution is ok. There's a giant battery powering the monitor and printer, it's held in place slightly in front of the axle.
It's waffle night! Time to stock up on breakfast waffles!
The grocery store only had 2 silken tofu but I need 6 so I had to improvise... used a lot more oat milk and yogurt to make up the difference.
