Cut a hole in the wall and installed a cat door going into the garage.

One of the fur kids is always getting shut in there by mistake.  :GA:

Been putting it off since I thought it was going to be a bitch to install (door is metal so opted for wall), all went well.

Work, washing, cleaning, clearing, playing a game with kid, cooking, dishes.

And in the meantime garden and house where somehow swarmed by teenage girls.

PR to the urgent clinic for ear pain.  Nothing serious, not infected.  Just a drop of antibiotic and pain meds in the ear.

Did a bit of cleaning out because I was not in a good humour.  That's the best time to pitch things.

I made coffee and browsed the board using my mobile's interwebz connection.

Shopped at 4 stores and only bought one thing that wasn't on my list.

Also, found a box marked Jack Daniels glasses (opened and evidently from someone's house) in the shopping cart at Walmart.  There are 8 glasses and I brought them home.  Might try to craigslist them.

Lil miss thrifty aint ya QV.

I got my lab microwave in a similar manner, it was left outside the entrance of a supermarket, unattended. Watched to see if anyone came to pick it up within the next five minutes or so, nobody did, so I made off with it. And well has it served me ever since.

Thinking of retiring it though from service in the lab, for a more powerful model, this, I think could be quite fun to drill a hole through the side into the resonant cavity, attach a waveguide......power with big fuckoff marx generator.....hmmm....possibilities....:D

  That's right, a little anger can propel one out of a rut!  I got angry about all the time I spend doing laundry
   because I own too few pairs of pants, so I bought lots of pants and spent Saturday night doing ... er, laundry.  :tard:

Oh boy! I just hit the fuckin jackpot here, local pub is being knocked down, and I just took a quick perfunctory walk round the place.

Amazingly, the pikey element hasn't been at the plumbing. If theres less than half a grand worth of copper and lead to be had, I'm a monkey's uncle.

Tons of pint glasses too, those can go on ebay. Just need to get myself a pipe cutter, and a set of bolt cutters tomorrow when I get paid, so I can get to work. Wouldn't be surprised if theres a grand worth, if the boiler is copper and still there. Although it will take a right go at it with an acetylene torch to take the thing to bits if its there still.

Boilers are worth major cash these days for scrap value. Copper is up to a tenner for just a few kilos, lead is worth less, brass somewhere in between. ALL the pipework, gas mains, water mains, loads of copper wire...all there  just begging to be looted for scrap. Nobody else has, and somebody sure as hell will given enough time, might as well get in there first and have the lot off.

Big copper boiler, could be worth 150 or more if its a real big bugger.

Wondering, though, how the fuck I could get it out...but..there is a piano there, mid size..that HAS to be worth a few bob.
But its up on the second floor. I obviously cannot carry it. Question is, how the fuck to get it out. It'll end up smashed to bits if it isn't looted, by the wrecking balls.

Would be a shame to see it smashed to pieces, when it could doubtless be sold for a few grand on ebay.
I'd have it myself, if I could play. But given my money troubles of late, that really, really is just begging to find a way off that second floor.

Along with a microwave, a whole load of fire extinguishers of most (not all) types I could ever need for the lab, and an internet switch. Needed a new microwave for the lab, as I'm thinking of taking the old one apart to build a microwave pulse cannon.

My money trouble is so over :D

I can't wait to get tooled up and get started on the place. Big fucking copper radiators, real huge copper and lead pipes running loose, plenty more in the crawlspaces and under the floorboards, in the walls etc.

By the time I'm finished, theres not going to be enough scrap metal there to feed a pygmy shrew for half an hour :D

Put some towels in the washing machine. Think it's about ready now. Also tried to fix the tap in the kitchen but failed. Now I need a new filter thingie (on the end of the tap). Going to fetch myself one a little later. Oh, going the clean the rolling bin in an hour or so too. 'Durty' job, it is, but it's summery warm here, the thing is emptied (by the garbage 'team') this morning and ja.. someone's gotta do it.
