Why we've been off the grid....

When the fiberglass shower came out, we're left with a huge hole in the floor

New window installed

Had to rearrange the plumbing a bit

Insulation for sound deadening

Nailing on the tongue and groove wall boards.

Sanding away the nail holes.

Out goes the old shower valve....
In goes the new.

Leveling the shower floor to the new drain

It can be done. Just ask Marshall how he does it.

Seamus likes the mixer......

We make quite a lot of tiramisu at our house and one thing required for really good tiramisu is whipped cream. We don't use Ready Whip! We whip our cream (lol) with an industrial Kitchen Aid mixer. This mixer makes quite a bit of noise.

Now, Seamus usually heads out onto the deck when we are making mechanical noises in the kitchen. Banging and grinding noises tend to make him nervous. The exception to this rule is when he hears the mixer. He has come to associate the sound of the mixer with the taste of whipped cream. When the mixer starts, within seconds Seamus will be waiting for a sample.

Back in the saddle......

A guy on a TV commercial said "riding a motorcycle may be the most enjoyable thing you'll ever do." Well, maybe he has never had sex, but riding a motorcycle is VERY enjoyable!!
