I, however, have had nothing but good luck, so when I got an email stating...
We've doubled your WOW! Internet speed
at no cost to you!
At WOW!, we want to provide you with the best customer experience possible. That’s why we have increased your WOW! Internet speed from 4Mbps to 8Mbps at no cost to you. Now you can surf the Web, download photos and music more than two times faster!
You can start enjoying the new faster speed immediately simply by resetting your cable modem.
Well, I hoped they were right, but I didn't really think they would just give it away, so I did some tests.
This is my speed before upgrade using the Java based tool

Then I reset my cable modem and did more tests.
This is the same test as before, the Java one

And a re-test... the Java one

That's not the 8mb they promised, but it's also testing a server in New Jersey.
I tried the Flash test to a server in Chicago

Nice, so I did it again...

And just for good measure, I used the Flash tool to the first server in New Jersey

All in all, I'd have to say I'm quite pleased with the free upgrade
Your Score: Rabbit
You scored 21 Ego, 14 Anxiety, and 18 Agency!

IT was going to be one of Rabbit's busy days. As soon as he
woke up he felt important, as if everything depended upon him.
It was just the day for Organizing Something, or for Writing a
Notice Signed Rabbit, or for Seeing What Everybody Else Thought
About It. It was a perfect morning for hurrying round to Pooh,
and saying, "Very well, then, I'll tell Piglet," and then going
to Piglet, and saying, "Pooh thinks--but perhaps I'd better see
Owl first." It was a Captainish sort of day, when everybody
said, "Yes, Rabbit " and "No, Rabbit," and waited until he had
told them.
You scored as Rabbit!
ABOUT RABBIT: Rabbit is generally considered Clever by his many friends and relations. He is actually a much better reader and writer than Owl, but he doesn't consider it worth mentioning. Instead, Rabbit's real talent lies in Organizing Plans. He organizes rescue parties, makes schemes to reduce Tigger's bounciness, and goes on missions to find out what Christopher Robin does when he's not at the Hundred Acre Woods. Sometimes, however, his Plans do not always go as Planned.
WHAT THIS SAYS ABOUT YOU: You are smart, practical and you plan ahead. People sometimes think that you don't stress or worry, but this is not the case. You are the kind of person who worries in a practical way. You think a) What are my anxieties about and b)what can be done about them? No useless fretting for you. You don't see the point in sitting around and waiting for things to work out, when you could actually work them out today and save yourself a lot of time and worry. Your friends tend to rely on you, because they know that they can trust you help them work things out.
You sometimes tend to be impatient with people who are less practical in their ways. You don't have much patience for idiots who moan about things but never actually DO anything about them. You have high expectations of everyone, including yourself. When you don't succeed at something, or when something goes wrong despite your best efforts to prevent it, you can get quite hard on yourself. You need to cut yourself some slack and accept that everyone has their faults, even you, and THAT IS OKAY. Let yourself be faulty, every now and then, for the sake of your own sanity.

Now the whole exterior has been stripped down to clean natural cedar.
We have started staining the wood now.
Check it out here.
The pictures aren't in order, and I didn't bother captioning them yet.
There's shots of the dirty front, the clean front, the new stain and a few shots to show contrast between clean/dirty and clean/stained.
The stain will deepen in color a little bit more, so I'll post the pictures when it's done.
We also have the new door color on the front door. The old color is still on the back door.
Here's a couple pics of that.
Now all that remains is replacing the trim, and a wee bit of painting.
Then we get to start on staining the outside of the house.
For those of you lost in all this, here is the progression.

Thank you wohlershome.net and your Lead Tech Cappy. He always seems to come through and take care of my gremlins.
The main Pergo floor has been installed.
A special thanks go out to my fellow workers on this project.
