Side Venting a Dryer :: Close Quarters Connect … Revisited
1
If you have been a reader of this blog you know that we (my wife and I) have a lot going on with our house, and that we have a little ways to go. The way things "are" and because I am still usually tackling projects in a “whole house” method (as opposed to using a room by room method), I sometimes find myself circling back many months, and sometimes, yes, years later to finish things.
Here is a great example. Back in July of 2009 I posted about the dryer’s hook up in our laundry room ... in a side venting fashion. And as with my post from yesterday (I don't have a problem!), I posted prior to the project being 100% complete (let's call it instead ... a focus on progress). [ . . . ]

Todd Vendituoli :: Concrete, Buggies and A New Head! (aka Remodeling in the Bahamas)
8August 9, 2011
Anyway work starts again and the boys have not eaten anything and as the concrete continues their energy starts to fade and their boss tells them "they need more power!" - Buggies filled with concrete are heavy. As things go wrong and buggies get dumped or spilled, the boss tells one of them that they need more power. To which the worker nods in agreement and spills another load. The boss then says to him that he thinks that the man could use "a new head." To which the worker again nods in agreement. The boss then asks: "You need new head?" The reply "Yes, Yes." . . . "Good, I get you new head tomorrow, OK?" . . . "Yeah boss" as he smiles, laughs and has probably no idea what has been said. [ . . . ]
Sometimes, Close is Close Enough

I quickly discovered that because of framing, the length of the hall and the attic door there was no way to space these cans evenly. So, on a real deadline and in difficult circumstances, I began considering the modification of framing [ . . . ]
Strung Out on Caffeine and . . . Remodeling. Solution: "My Kids"

So how does one go about getting a job done on time? Well, it all comes down to planning. By planning I mean -- get your (special) orders in on time. That has been what has been slowing us down recently. I am constantly waiting for this . . . to be able to do that. The granite can't be measured for the kitchen, because the cabinets came in wrong. The shower door can't be measured for the custom shower, because the client couldn't decide on the marble they wanted for the enclosure. These things, I felt, were totally out of my control. Yet . . . they have left me strung out on remodeling and . . . caffeine. [ . . . ]
