We planned this vacation when we had more money. We also thought we’d have jobs by this point. When March finally came burnout was still having its way with us, and the tickets were already paid for… We drove to Boston, parked the car in a friends garage, and set out to visit family, and […]

The holes… they’re getting pretty demoralizing. We’ve made so many holes. Drilled through that. Cut through the other. Jigsawed this… just… holes holes holes. Holes for propane pipes. Holes for electrical wiring. Holes for stoves. Holes for cabinets. Holes for cat flaps. All the freaking holes. It got so that we were both “I don’t […]

Can’t stop making holes We set to work on the cat box / heater / grey water compartment. At the heart of it is a backwards “h” shaped “box” thing [I’ll get you a picture after it’s installed]. The litter box will be on top. The Propex will be below with air tubes going out […]

Lots of progress since our last update. We realized that instead of a complicated bit of routing on the underside of the nice wood counter to accommodate the bump around the sink, we could instead route down into the existing evil blue counter and simply drop the sink farther into it.

Today we had to drive to Troy NY for Dachary’s 4th eye exam (don’t ask) which resulted in us killing time in a mall every kiss begins with kay, and I’m kay so… (I’m Kay so… ) and Dachary… FINALLY getting a final prescription. Unlike everyone else who gets old, her eyes are getting better […]

The jig didn’t work. The hinge was too bumpy and it was too much of a pain to try and put something under it, and we were frustrated enough with spending all that time on it that we didn’t want to do the modifications we know we need to do to make it usable in […]

We have fluorescent lights and incandescent lights. The incandescent lights are old-school automotive lights that just make you depressed about how much power they’re taking and how little light they’re producing. I’m determined to replace them with LEDs. I’m determined to replace the fluorescent with LEDs too, but so far I am incapable of finding […]

Yesterday was a write-off. We took Dachary to the optometrist and then decided to be “healthy” and eat at the Whole Foods buffet. I got many small things. Dachary got some sushi and chicken salad. With one exception everything was terrible. Then we went home and became sick. Eventually I went and cut this arc […]

Today was all about prepping for cutting the counter. In order to do that, we needed to, at least temporarily, mount the stove to make sure everything worked out where we planned it. We had to adjust some of the cuts on the supporting box, but other than that it went well. We still need […]
