The city's plumbing inspector came on Wednesday to witness the pressure test that finally got the gas turned on and the furnace working. I'd spoken with the inspector at the end of December when we started down the long road to getting gas service, told him we were moving from NYC and learned he'd relocated from New Jersey some years before. So on Wednesday, while we killed a few minutes during the pressure test, we all chatted and he mentioned he had a friend in Brooklyn and we asked where in Brooklyn. He remembered a street name, Oxford Street, and Scott and I almost lost it. That's the street where Scott's apartment is located, the apartment he's selling right now in Fort Greene. I asked the inspector if his friend's name was Kim. Sure enough, he is the very same man Scott's downstairs neighbor and our great friend Kim told us about, the only other person she knew who had ever moved to Dubuque. This is the photo I texted Kim immediately. I figured we'd get his name and contact info from Kim and look him up once we were a little more settled here, but the universe obviously had other ideas.
And things keep moving forward. Scott's shop continues shaping up with his latest addition, the table saw. He removed it from the stand it came with and mounted it to tables he made - I knew this was going to happen! The out-of-the-box setup was not going to do, but Scott has made it everything he wants it to be. It's a frightening tool in my opinion, but Scott loves it and he has serious hearing protection gear. This is Scott showing me how level his table saw setup is now.
