I had to do laundry, so I didn’t have time to build a hoce from start to finish. I did, however, have time to cut the pieces for two hoces. I mixed it up a bit with these; one has a 1.25″ hole, and no perches. The other has a 1.5″ hole, but only two […]
I managed to do a hoce start to finish after work. It still needs floor insulation, and they all need birdy carpet, but it’s done; badly cupped, knotty board or not. Beautiful, nope, but I did okay with the skilsaw, which saved me setup time, and it doesn’t have to be beautiful to keep my […]
As many as four to go, depending upon what i feel like doing! It was raining when I got home from work, so I didn’t feel like getting out the table saw, but I did finish the roost hoce I started yesterday. I didn’t do notched corners on this one because it looked stupid, so […]
It was laundry day, and since it’s supposed to rain much of the week, I wanted to get my bulbs and asters (and one mum!) in the ground. I also needed to blow leaves off the patio and skim the pond, and I needed a nap because I couldn’t sleep last night, so I didn’t […]
HK refused to start after work on Friday, so C drove me home. Actually, she drove me and Juliette home; she’d found the mantis in the fender well of her truck, and drove to the bank with her, and back! I started out by digging what I thought should be an appropriately sized hole to move […]
It’s damp, windy and chilly today, and I didn’t feel like dealing with the Mexican sunflower and zinnia I uprooted on Thursday, so I decided to finally break down and install 64-bit Win7 on my desktop, so I can use Premiere; I might actually finish my DCI video if I do it here, where I […]
That’s like progress, but with more mud. I took half a vacation day yesterday for two reasons: first because I was working toward a migraine, and the way to head one off at the pass is not sitting at a desk, staring at a computer screen; and second, to work on the edges of the […]
Catching up for Friday, Saturday and today. All I have left to do on the pond is level the sides of the deep end, rake out and/or carry away extra soil, and we’re ready to install the liners. Jesus, what a lot of work this has been, and still lots to go! So far, my […]
It really will grow anywhere! I understood the volunteer in with my Peperomia, and even sort of understood the one in my tree-whose-name-I-always-forget, but the pregnant onion plant is on the other side of the room, in a hanging pot! EDIT: Oh, yeah…Ardisia humilis.
A hundred degrees and humid is not the ideal time to be messing with concrete pavers, but it was only a small job, so… I dug out the dirt a little bit; took out weeds, leaves, sticks and anything that would negatively affect the stability of the paver base. I had…I think five bags, and […]
