After a long delay, I worked on the wine cellar again this weekend. I finished lighting and electrical, and built two platforms to to level out the unlevel floors and support shelves. The platforms were an interesting challenge because I had to learn how to cut tapers on a table saw. Luckily there are YouTube videos for that. #ProjectWineCellar

The finished ceiling showing installed can lights and an electrical outlet on the side wall.Two platforms at right angles that extend the length of the walls. The platforms are on tapers 2x4 rails so that the top is level, elven though the floor isn’t.

@manton @jean My Micro.Blog account is on a grandfathered $2/month plan. What’s the best way to “upgrade” my account to the now standard $5/month plan? I really like Micro.Blog and want to “pull my weight”. Thanks.

@manton I think there’s a problem with how the new Micro.Blog iOS app posts to WordPress. Images are now being attached to posts as the post’s “featured image” instead of uploading images to the WP media library and just linking to it. Is this a known issue?
