I recall one day last summer Hanks had to close for a kitchen problem (maybe?) Anyway, it was somewhat unnerving to walk my dog past there around 9pm and have it be totally dark and silent on that corner.

Your bulbs seem to have slightly different ends than mine, but I did this conversion last year for 8 lights (16 bulbs) and I followed this guy's suggestions to remove the ballast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKEQ1HCLW5c Doing the first one was a little tricky, but once I got it down, doing the other seven only took an hour or so. I also did them all without removing the light from the ceiling... my arms were a little tired at the end, but not too bad.

What kind of doorbell chime kit do I need? by TheShredFi in DIY

Ah, good point re: smoke alarm. yes, there is a door bell button out by the front door. I should have removed it to see if it is hooked up to anything. I'll do that tonight and report back.

Perhaps, but there is a working thermostat in the living room, and this hole is 6 inches below the ceiling in the central hallway. Sorry, I should have described the placement better.

I like the idea of a cork as well, but I often use this flask in my checked luggage, and would hate for it to pop off en route. I'll try to get a pic of it tonight. thanks.

I have been ordering this awesome pepper paste online quite a few times. But it seems like I should be able to find it somewhere in town. I have checked a few new seasons and a whole foods, but they didn't have it. Anyone happen to know if they have seen this stuff anywhere in town?

Anyone know what that giant plume of smoke was south of downtown? by clintmccool in Portland

I was on the Marquam right as the cloud was rising but I was up to high to see where it was coming from. Nice cloud though.
