I continued tonight stripping the door jams so we can meet Thor’s goal of putting the trim back up this weekend while Thor cleaned and got things ready for the Martin’s to come for a work weekend this weekend. Finally when he seemed done, I looked over at him and said “whatcha doin’?” I guess I didn’t say this casually enough because he replied with “Why, what should I be doing?” The answer, putting our phone line back in so we can get our internet.
Since we had ripped out all of the walls with phone jacks, Thor had to reinstall one in the office. Apparently this ended up being pretty easy because it only took him around 1/2 an hour. After that It wasn’t too hard getting the internet set up. I followed the instructions in the box and got connected to the router, but ran into trouble from there. Called AT&T and the guy very nicely walked me through the rest of the set up — a good thing since there were no instructions for any of the steps that he took me through. Another 30 minutes later and we were up and running. Hello world!
Thor had fallen asleep by then, and didn’t get to appreciate the moment, or my dance of joy.
