mmmmmoist!

I love the moist air coming from a dryer vent. Especially when it means I'm done building a dryer vent duct and my clothes are drying! Woo!

You are bad ass!

Woo! Next up, replacing the damn door out to the garage. And cleaning the wasp nest and broken glass out of the lamp post in the yard!

Dude. I own a lamp post. With a light in it. I am SO glad I don't live in a planned community patrolled by Himalayan demons who enforce the community covenants!

But please don't send me pink flamingos for my lawn. I'm pretty sure that will piss of some spirit or other....

So this reminds me... did i ever tell you about the tradition we had when i was growing up of flamingo-ing people's yards. (It started when my folks and some other neighbors noticed that a neighborhood code banned them).

Any time someone had a special occasion, a pink flamingo appeared in their yard, dressed for the event (as a stork when a baby was born, in cap and gown for graduation -- once even crucified for easter on the lawn of the one christian family on our block of jews...)

Somewhere in the basement, we still have a pink flamingo with yellow yarn hair, dressed up for a bat mitzvah!

ANYway... watch out for flamingos! :-)

Also, now i wish i lived closer 'cause i would totally make you a flamingo with a jar of spackle and a tool belt.

I bought a pipe that was too long, and went to the physics department to bum metal shears in order to cut it down to size. I was sitting on the floor outside the offices, cutting pipe with shears and big cotton gloves. It was ridiculous!

To be fair, I could have just added correctly Sunday afternoon and bought the correct length of duct, but metal shears were fun too! And it's hard to add numbers correctly when you're tired and headachey but I went to Home Despot with my measurements anyway, and just did my best.

I really really enjoy the Home Despot nickname.

Smells like... laundry! I mean... victory!

[identity profile] digitalemur.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
It does! Fresh clean pajamas, lightly scented with laundry soap, and soft from the dryer. The washer sounds all rhythmic and comforting, too.

The Victorious Laundry would be a great name ... <grin>

For a band, or what?

Maybe we should just call my house that.

[identity profile] holmes-iv.livejournal.com 2009-04-07 05:07 am (UTC)(link)
Well, a band is the traditional answer, yes. Really, whatever you want, though. :-) (Oh, college memories... apparently some people really like that clean-laundry smell. <grin>)

Woo-hoo! Kicking the home improvement ass! Don't forget to take names.

[identity profile] digitalemur.livejournal.com 2009-04-08 03:40 pm (UTC)(link)
I am! The names of further projects.
