Sue's office is almost ready for her to move in! We have spent the last 4 days painting, replacing the trim around doors and windows and getting the place cleaned up. Sue still has some more painting to do, then clean the carpet and get the furniture in there and she will be all moved in. We should be to that point Thursday. This place looks nothing like it did last Thursday when we first saw it! As always these things take longer than you expect, but sometimes you just have to accept that things that the time they take and not get too stressed about it 🙂 Sue will do most of the remaining work as she needs to figure out how she want's to lay everything out but I will clean the carpet and help with some furniture assembly.
I got a new drive enclosure delivered today. Got the 1TB drive installed, connected via e-SATA and I'm moving my virtual machines over to get some extra room on my C drive. I simply hadn't paid attention to how much disk space the virtual machines were taking and ended up almost running out of disk space!!! I'm using VanTec NexStar 3 NST-360" enclosure. I already had two of them that I use for 1.5TB drives for off-site backups and I have been very happy with them. They are very easy to set up and this type comes with both USB and e-SATA connectors. VanTec has other enclosures that look exactly like this one but don't have e-SATA. The e-SATA enclosures come with e-SATA port that you simply plug into an existing SATA connector on your motherboard and thus get a free e-SATA port supporting 3Gbps compared to 480Mbps for USB2. Simple, easy to use and it just works!
