So I ended up removing the false ceiling in my kitchen along with the 8 tube lights that were behind it. I then placed 10 3" potlights in the original (drywall) ceiling. I found out later that the potlights that I had purchased where the cheap kind.

There are apparently two ways for a 'renovation' potlight to hold itself into the ceiling.
1 - Using springs that atomatically open up when the potlight is shoved into position (the ones I bought and installed)
2 - Using a wing/flange system that expands via a tightened screw hidden on the inside of the potlight housing

So I got to drill make break a 4" diameter hole in the outside (brick) wall of my house on Saturday :D

I did it so that we can vent the fume hood, that sits above the kitchen oven, outside; as opposed to trying to badly filter the food smells through a carbon filter and back into the house.

Now you're thinking 'what's so special about a drill bit?'. And I must confess, I would have thought that myself just a couple of days ago. But now I know about the super cool D’VersiBIT® System! And, no, I'm not getting paid for this poduct plug :P

Imagine this if you will ... a 54" long flexible drill bit (4" cutting head + 50" flexible steel shaft). Don't believe me? Well then prepare to be amazed! ...

I'm sure by now, everyone has heard of the Dyson Vacuum Cleaner. But do you know how it works? More specifically, do you know how it is able to seperate the dirt from the air without a filter?

Well it uses a process called Cyclonic Filteration. The air inside the vacuum cleaner is forced to spin so fast that the dirt/dust in the air literally just falls out. Now this is super cool.

Ok, so here are four (count'em, FOUR) pictures of where I'm at right now with my faulty COMMAND CHAIR FOR GLOBAL DOMINATION project. The right-hand swinging shelf/platform with the vertical arm on it can't handle the extra weight of my 19" flat panel DELL monitor :(

Here are two images of what I thought was halfway through my EVIL OVERLORD COMMAND CHAIR project.

Here is a belated picture of the start of my COMMAND CHAIR TO RULE THE COSMOS project ;)

Ok, so my plans for global geekworld domination suffered a slight setback over the weekend.

It turns out that the swinging platform that's sitting on the right chair-arm can't handle the weight of my 19" LCD monitor ... DOH!

So now I have to figure out an alternate method of floating the monitor infront of the chair while still making sure it can swing out of the way when I want to get out of the chair.

Ok, so I'm well on my way to finally replacing my "so 90s" computer desk. Replacing it with what; you might ask? Well I'm going to take a Adirondack Muskoka chair (see below) and then add some keyboard mounts (plural!) + a swingout table for the monitor. And of course, I'll be attaching the 5 different speakers for the 5.1 surround sound system in their appropriate locations ;)

Muuhahahaha, call me Ishmael Mario; King of newbie plumbers! Hehehehe, I used a blowtorch yesterday :D

Yes, you read right ... I, [my full name here], got to play with use FIRE!! Muuhahahahahaha!!!!

Ok, so here's the backstory:
