Hiro's beer goggles


I accidentally broke the copper wire to have water to the fridge, so alas Hiro had to go under the house again. He couldn't find his ski goggles, so he had to wear his beer goggle's instead...

Finally! Floor space!

Ryan and Hiro did an awesome job last weekend unpacking a bunch of boxes in the living room. We have so much floor space now I'm not sure what we're going to do with it...

Wheelin' and dealin


There was a lot of great deals last weekend!! Bed Bath and Beyond had toilet covers for $5... which it's surprisingly hard to find extended-size seat covers for low-flow toilets.

The shower curtain was the steal of the day - $7 on clearance from Target! I'm loving Ryan's bathroom!

Naughty kitty


Tonight Mini was doing something she wasn't supposed to - but it was so odd that I sat and stared, tried to figure out how she got up there, took a picture, and then shooed her down. I can see how cats can get stuck in trees!

Kitchen is up and running!


Hiro and I cleaned the kitchen and actually cooked a whole meal! Two people can easily work at the same time.








Tiggy's ready for dinner

The great water debacle

To sum up the last four days...

Day 1: Sprinkler valve broke, had to shut off the water.
Day 2: Water wouldn't turn back on.
Plumber showed up (under warranty) to fix the water, but tried to scam us into paying more, then left.
Day 3: New Plumber shows up and we finally have water (Hallelujah!) Then, another sprinkler valve broke.
Day 4: Plumber returns to fix the sprinkler. Another plumber comes to fix the sink (the original problem)

I think "replacing the pipes" has just been moved much higher in priority in the repairs we need to have done. That, and I've learned that PVC sprinkler systems are absolute $%^*!
