One, at least! FINALLY, OK’s house is finished. I wanted to get it out there before I ran out of daylight, but P was still asleep and that house weighs a metric fuckton, but it’s not going anywhere, so I’ll take pictures tomorrow or something. These’ll do for now. It’s not the prettiest thing I’ve […]
In spite of the fact that the door was originally hung by an incompetent, we got the door down, installed the kitteh door without incident, and re-hung it. Skanny and Old Kitteh have already used it; we’re going to leave it taped up until Tuesday because P will be home to make sure they can […]
We haven’t been here a year yet, not until Thanksgiving, but one year ago today we closed on Parview! 2014: 2013: I also remembered the clamps to do my table. The corners were…fun, and the board wasn’t perfectly flat, but I think it’ll work out in the end. It wasn’t very bright when I was […]
Also kinda virtuous. I’ll have to add text later. Also, I forgot to take a photo of the oregano C gave me a couple of weeks ago, but I planted it in the bed with the catnip. Once both of them are established enough to start blooming, that should “bee” heaven. C says that bees […]
It took ages for me to get around to the actual wiring, but I did it, and it works! This will be my “new” keyboard at work. Vintage 95-ish, it was filthy, and had a 5-pin AT connector, but it’s solid. C. gave it to me when we cleaned out the office equipment graveyard. She […]
I’ll add text later…mebbe. 😀 I’m saving seeds from the “scarlet pimpernel” (according to P) to make sure I have exactly the same kind next year because the MLBs loved this stuff so much. I took this to illustrate just how much plant matter I have to collect to get not very many seeds. […]
It’s Sunday morning, but I took these yesterday. I actually accomplished something yesterday. I cleaned the interior of HKLRSC (long overdue), cleaned the kitchen sink (less overdue, but still needed to be done), and frosted four panels of glass; one of which I fucked up, but didn’t notice until it was fully installed and back […]
I scratched one a little because the slot was too tight and I had to wrestle it in, but I finished the glass I had. Four down, only twenty-eight to go! I went outside to look, and they’re as much nicer than the curtain-things from the outside as they are from the inside. Possibly more. […]
The glass got cut wrong because I mis-measured, and P didn’t check his text messages before he bought it, and getting those little fleur-de-lis off without peeling away the frosted glass paint proved to be a bigger challenge than I’d thought, but not bad for a first try, and I can always take it off […]
I got the first coat on last night, and just finished the second this morning. I have laundry and ironing, of course, but may be able to get the seat for this one done today, too. Won’t be able to put it on until the paint has had a week or so to cure (mebbe…hehe), […]
