Orange Harbinger of Death to Wads of Paper here…except the humans pronounce it “Geronimo”, or occasionally, “the caffeinated kitten”.
Apparently I was broken and I got fixed today.
A Cone of Shame! They put me in a Cone of Shame! I mean…for a DOG certainly! They should always wear one as far as I’m concerned…but it’s simply [...]

The Cat Leak
We may have The cat who walks through walls?
Yeah, that’s a Heinlein title. Was that cat orange as well?
We tend to sleep in on Sundays at the Old Vic. Usually the work-week (at the job that actually pays for all these shannigans) has been very taxing…and we’ve usually spent the better part of Saturday working [...]

A view near the floor…
RRRRrrrr…MMMmmmmmmmmMMMMMMmmmmmm…yep. That’s about it. Got the hang of this keyboard thingy now… Orange Harbinger of Death to Wads of Paper here. Thought I’d introduce myself.
Afterall, I’m the driving force behind all things. The two humans may think they are running things, but in the end, it’s all to my plan.
Well, except they [...]
Projects
Making a house…a home.
At what point does a house become a home?
For us, and this house, it felt like home before we bought it…but that’s not really it. We still are using a lot of the furniture that came with it. Some of it is still organized the same way.
At what point then, did we feel it was [...]

Science Project?
Sooo…some plumbing is done. Yeah, I know it looks like a science project…but we always said, this is to be a Victorian house with modern features.
The tankless water heater is in and hooked up (not fired up yet). Not shown below are the electrical connection and the remote monitor panel connection.
The Tankless Water Heater sans [...]

‘Tis the Season?
Can you hear the scary music?
There are terrifying things afoot in this picture:
This picture was taken by the wife…catching me working on the water heater. There are scary things going on here.
That the wife caught me working is scary enough…but that’s not it.
The fact that I managed to use nearly $200 worth of parts to [...]

There be DOORS here!
From this:
After a bit of hard work…
Scaled the wall…
Trimmed the window.
There be DOORS here!
The 3 inches of rain Saturday night and Sunday got in the way so I haven’t done the weather stripping or threshold yet…and I don’t have any door knob hardware…but by golly…DOORS! We’ve got doors!
Obviously….much more to do…eave repair and scraping/paint [...]

Venting Dihydrogen monoxide to the atmosphere…
In an ideal world, a gentle chime would sound and then Majel Barrett’s voice would say something like, “Warning, you are venting Dihydrogen monoxide outside the pressurised distrubution system. Current consumption of energy stores has risen by 40,000 btu’s per hour. Normal utility funding levels will be exceeded in 2.4 hours.”
All this actually means [...]
