TUB REGLAZE

The tub and shower combo upstairs was reglazed some time ago, but it developed some chipping so it was time to get it reglazed. We got DL Reglazing to do it this time. Jose was a nice Mexican guy who seemed to know what he was doing and had a decent price.

He and his partner Daniel came in on time and got started right away. The first step is sanding and removing all the crap that was on the fiberglass before. Then they cleaned it up and broke out the spray gun. Unfortunately, the bathroom doesn't have a window and not much ventilation. So they just had to open the doors to try to get as much of the spray out of the house as possible. They use some kind of polyurethane and boy did it leave some vapors.

I opened all the windows to try to vent out the smell. It took some time and I was glad to hear it was non-toxic. By the early evening, there was still a smell, but it was diffusing pretty well.

In the evening, I noticed that the PC was starting to have some issues. Sometimes I would need to click twice on a link to get it active. Then, new tabs would pop-up with some kind of google-analytics webpage. I did some research and found out it was some kind of malware. I knew Karina had to be behind this because she's the only one who surfs the Internet with abandon.

Before I knew it, the PC could no longer go online. All this happened about the same time as I was getting ready to do a full factory restore on the WD Network Drive. Could these issues have something to do with each other?

So I got to work on removing the malware. Before I lost the connection, I was able to download Malwarebytes. But it required an update and because I didn't have a connection, I couldn't update it. I ran it anyway and it found some things. I deleted them but I still could not get online. This was going to be another one of those technical issue days.
