All the drywall has been installed. They started “mud” work on Tuesday — where they fix all the little spots, like the screw holes and other imperfections. With Thanksgiving on Thursday, they left a little early Wednesday, and one guy was in for a few hours on Friday. Work will resume on Monday.
With any luck, they’ll be able to start painting on Tuesday or Wednesday!
Work has resumed on my new office/lab. There’s wiring to do for overhead lighting, but they’ll start installing drywall immediately after that’s done. Kessler Heating & Cooling came out yesterday to re-route some HVAC lines and add two heat registers and a cold-air return to the space.
This time, I wanted to “do it right”. So, I’m going to have two 15-amp circuits, one for each side of the office, with 4 outlets spaced every 4 feet or so.
There are 3 network lines and 4 phone lines, with outlets spaced every 6 feet. I did cheap out and go with Cat 5e wire instead of Cat 6. But I should be able to run Gigabit Ethernet everywhere in my office.
Four cables per outlet times 10 outlets works out to a LOT of wire. 1,200 feet, to be exact. Not counting the ordinary power wiring…
Construction started yesterday on a new space for Quayle Consulting operations. The new space, approximately 300 square feet, will allow office and laboratory functions to be co-located. The existing office area will continue for accounting and office management functions.
The new space will include an internal Gigabit Ethernet network, with connection to remainder of the existing facility.
We’re excited on finally getting started! Pictures to follow…

I’m creating a VMware virtual machine for a client’s product that only works under DOS. The issue right now is getting the network interface working with Pathworks (an old DEC product).
