It’s been cold and kind of yucky lately, but that hasn’t stopped Parview’s flowers! The mystery flowers that didn’t bloom last year and have buds that look “onionish” are… Narcissus! Actually double-bloom narcissus. I kind of wish they were single because I like those best, but I’ll take pretty, free flowers however they come! Some […]
Not bad for what it cost, and won’t look so weird and stark once I can put my stuff back, and get the doors on the cabinet. Hopefully, I’ll get Cliffie’s old tank taken down before the weekend, then I can do the small cabinet.
Slow to open, but getting there!
I haven’t taken many pictures because I’m so sick of painting, and also because it looked almost embarrassingly bad when I started, but I’m making progress on Phase Two of the Great Office Furniture Reclamation. I ought to be…it took me all goddamned weekend. The worst is over, though; the desk and cabinet are basically […]
These were neatly tucked in when I hung them this morning. It looks like they were tested and not found wanting! I only managed to plant six because I’m dog-tired and doing laundry, but the taro bulbs are starting to sprout, so I’d best do something with them soon! This is the most fully opened […]
They’re both done. Still have rocks holding the wood down because it’s not quite waterlogged yet, but all of the plants that are going in are in. I have some dwarf sag left, but nowhere to put it. It wasn’t expensive, though, and I put all I wanted in both tanks. The 55 is nice […]
Well, kind of almost. I have the beadboard paper on. I ended up brushing white glue onto the wood and applying the paper dry. That snot paste would’ve taken ages to dry and got all over everything. I think this small piece will forgive me. I waited a bit to let it dry some, then […]
I’m sick of this thing, but I got 1/4″ plywood to cover the CRT knockout in the back. Kind of a bitch to install (nothing really solid to attach it to), and I made one small scrape in the paint (fixed it) but it’s in, and once the glue dries, I’ll put the beadboard paper […]
I don’t know whether this is one I planted or the one the old lady left that I divided (the latter, maybe), but it’s the first!
I wavered for a while this morning, thinking I would use oil paint instead of latex and acrylic top coat, but calls to Buchheit and ACE made up my mind because neither sells oil base paint that can be tinted. Oil is almost phased out, but I’d hoped they’d have some low VOC version. They […]
