New Discovery

I made a new discovery while surfing around the Karl Hubhome last night. I was checking out the forum and noticed we now have a photo gallery. I quickly snapped some pictures of the work in progress of our kitchen and and the new addition to our entertainment in the living room. I truly think the pictures posted of our snowfall in February a major improvement to the scenery in our neighborhood.

It was a major headache uploading the pictures for the first time. It was definitely a learning experience through the night to accomplish the task. I feel like I'm a pro now. The lowest resolution my camera setting would take pictures was 896 x 600. I didn't have any software installed to resize the pictures. It took me awhile to locate my Sierra Imaging install CD and install the program. Then, I had to figure out how to move the pictures from one program to another and resize each picture one at a time. As I resized each picture I saved them as Kitchen1, Kitchen2 etc... I thought I was all set for uploading, but with my ineptitude rearing its ugly head I forgot to give the Kitchen pictures an album name. I'm sure it took me close to an hour to get that problem straightened out and I still had to upload them all to the Gallery. I also wasn't sure if they could be uploaded in a batch, so I ended up loading them one at a time. Like I've already stated before it was a true learning experience and I'm sure the next batch of pictures I upload will only take a fraction of the time.

I still need to take pictures of the almost complete front bathroom and the backyard workshop (to be installed this coming Friday).

After the kitchen is completely done I will take more pictures. We still have the L shaped lower cabinet to rip out and build, all the lower doors and a few of the uppers, ripping off the rest of the old wallpaper and repaper, and last but not least repaint all of the trim and ceiling...phew!!
