Condo Things to Fix

Incorrectly installed box:

The stove is too far away from the wall becasue the gas pipes were installed in the wrong spot.
Dings on the door from movers...



Master Bathroom: Poor paint job.


Master bath: Poor installation of cabinets
Master Bath: Very poor installation (This needs to be replaced)

Hallway: These baseboards were damaged when they installed to replacement flooring.



Door to master bedroom: This needs to be redone, and replaced so it's NEW.

Hallway: The baseboards again...

Hallway: Scrap on the wall and black smears



Guest Bath: Black marks on floor molding, and blue marks.

Guest Bath: The day the water pressure was adjusted the toilet stopped functioning correctly.
Doorway to guest bed: More ding marks from the move out.


Kitchen: These need to be replaced. Not sure if it's water damage or a poor paint job.


Guest bath: Poor paint/caulking job

Main area: poor paint job on the ceiling. There was drywall replacements, and there is a huge set of lines where this replacement happend.

Kitchen: Scraps in the paint/drywall
When we moved in the door was dinged and the paint was all scrapped.

Kitchen Sink: When the sink was replaced (The previous sink was dinged and installed crooked) there was a residue left. I've spent over an hour trying to scrub it off with bleach and other cleaners to no avail.
Dining Room: Again the baseboards were damaged when they replaced the flooring.




Multiple scratches on the floor. (The blue tape keeps getting pulled up before it's replaced.) There is a dramatic difference between the flooring that is brand new, and the flooring that was in when it was used as the model.

Capturing A Vista Image Using GHOST

This is information on how to capture a ghost snapshot once you have prepared the operating system, installed necessary applications, and defragmented the hard drive. Without doing this ghost doesn't capture the image correctly.

· From within Vista open up a command prompt as an administrator
· Navigate to à c:\windows\system32\.
· Type--> bcdedit /set {bootmgr} device boot
· Type--> bcdedit /set {default} device boot
· Type--> bcdedit /set {default} osdevice boot
· Reboot into modular bay
· Typeà ghost –fdsz
· Then just proceed to save the image to the correct location.

Fix for iTunes on Vista x64

I couldn't get iTunes to work on my Windows Vista 64-bit installation... I couldn't burn, and when I opened iTunes it gave me an error saying I needed to re-install itunes. So, I did some research and found the fix!

First, Download this utility for free: http://www.gearsoftware.com/support/drivers.cfm

Then do the following:
· Start Menu -> All Programs -> Accessories -> Right Click on Command Prompt -> Run As Administrator.
· Type “cd C:\Windows\SysWOW64″
· Type regsvr32 vbscript.dll

Note:
If you don’t do Run as Administrator, the regsvr32 will fail. Also, be careful to run the command in SysWOW64, not System32! System32 on a 64-bit system actually contains the 64-bit system libraries. The 32-bit versions are in (where else?) SysWOW64. Makes perfect sense, right? (From an engineering standpoint it probably does, but it’s going to be a source of confusion for a lot of people, no doubt).
