What project are you embroiled in? It's it going well? What hangups are you running into? And, dare I ask, are you having fun with it?

I've been most of the way though the planning stages of a new desk, 3D printing cabinet, and air filtration system now for 6 months.

I'm close, I can feel it.

The Toilet From The Deepest Pit of Hell.

…or maybe I should call it The Toilet of Theseus.

I’ve replaced so many parts, solved so many leaks, reseated the tank, yada yada yada. It broke again, this time the lever arm. Off to the hardware store again, looking for an indestructible lever arm. Sheesh.

I’m just about ready to get a big bucket and some sawdust and slap a seat on it and call it good!

We went a bit mad.

Moved into a bungalow in 2007. Lovely location; ugly, cold, poorly-extended, horrible house. Last December, after years of talking about it, we knocked it down. Right now the replacement house is being built, estimated to be finished at the end of August.

Looking forward to moving back in!
