Turned tail
I’m starting to suspect that I’ve actually had mice all these years, and Fiona just made sure I didn’t know about it.
Rambles that are fluffy, by fluffy
I’m starting to suspect that I’ve actually had mice all these years, and Fiona just made sure I didn’t know about it.
When my old kitchen was being demolished I noticed that there were signs of mouse droppings in my sink cabinet, but no signs of mice. I also noticed that there were a bunch of gaps in the drywall behind the sink, and because of the… odd construction of this historical building it seemed likely that mice were able to occasionally get in, but didn’t stick around since they had nowhere to go.
Well, last night while working at the computer I felt something furry brush against my foot, and I looked down and it wasn’t Fiona. Then a few minutes later I saw something move out of the corner of my eye, and a little mouse peeked out from under my equipment shelving system and then scurried back underneath. (Fiona was, of course, asleep nearby and didn’t seem interested in me gesticulating at said shelving system.)
This was the day of finishing. It… isn’t quite finished. (Is anything, really?)
But what’s left to do can wait.
Today saw the electrical work happen. It went well.
Was this the last day?! Well, no, but I finally have a functional kitchen again!
Countertops are in! Yay!
Bet y'all are happy that soon the big payoff will be posted! I sure am happy that there’ll be a big payoff to post soon, personally.
Not a lot to show today, but it’s coming really close to completion!
Today my stove and dishwasher arrived. I wired up the stove’s power cord and found that I need to properly level it before it’ll slide in and I was worried about damaging my cabinets, so I decided to wait for the contractor to be able to take care of it. But I did at least get a chance to try it out with my cast-iron pan (affiliated link). It’s pretty quiet, and gives much better temperature control than the induction hotplate (affiliated link) I’ve been using in the meantime; the Max Burton seems to be like… low hot HOT HOTTT HOTTTTTT!!!! HOTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!! PLASMABALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and then there’s 5 more heat settings. This one isn’t like that.
Today the countertop folks came in and did their measurements, and I put a bunch more stuff away.
