Demolition Continued

We continued before (e:xandra)'s birthday party at my mom's. So much more is done but we need to do a mega cleanup now. Then deconstruct the floor, half the wall and the tub. Then the building can begin. I feel like once this is done we will end up learning so much which will open up the possibilities for bigger and better projects.

Mama's Kitchen - Jamacain Restauarant

We headed down to mamas on Massachusetts for lunch yesterday. The food was so delicious, I had the jerk chicken, large size. It came with cabbage, rice and beans, fried plantains and chicken. I also had a grapefruit soda called tings that was reminiscent of squirt but made with real sugar. I would definately go back, next time I want to try the fish.

Here is their facebook page

More Bathroom Deconstruction

After 12 mad hours of programming I needed some sledge hammering. Not because my job was too hard but because I caught wind of everything returning back to the status quo. I want so bad for things to change.

I would like the bathroom to be taken apart enough that it is ready to be reborn. A point at which I can order new parts and hire a plumber to do the plumbing.

So glad I tore through everything tonight. The toilet pipe was rusting so bad that the large iron pipe simply cracked in two when I lifted the toilet up despite it not being bolted down. This explains the water damage below.

It would go so much faster if I

A. would order a dumpster. I haven't because I work too slowly due to my overworking on my underappreciated job and because my soon to be husband refuses to help on party nights which is just about every night he is not also working crazy hours.
B. didn't give a fuck about preserving things to bring to Buffalo Reuse. I am just about at my limit with recycling. I so carefully removed all the wall tiles. For a while I was removing the hex tiles one by one. I saved enough of them to not care anymore.

This is never going to be ready for the wedding at this pace. I also wish the furnace pipe would just go away. Right now everything looks real bad.

Funkin Neighbors

I can't believe people still use these cancer causing chemicals because of their excessive lawn vanity.

I love how the letter warns us with "You may wish to take precautious to minimize pesticide exposure to yourself, family members, pets or family possessions." but essentially we have no way to protect ourselves.

What are we supposed to do? Make sure we stay inside with the windows shut on the days listed below? Oh how convenient and its not like our house is air tight.

The Mt. Sinai School of Medicine, found a greater incidence of breast cancer in women who regularly used common home and garden pesticides.

I hope they get cancer. I will be sure to remind them.

Nighttime Bikeride to the Inner Harbor

There is so much going on down there. From the medical center all the way down main street to the inner harbor there is construction going on. It feels like the city is transforming.

Loco Moco at Seabar

I got the loco moco for lunch at seabar on monday. It seemed a little different than the other times but equally as delicious.

There was a poster for a food tasting event at the Hotel Lafayette.

NFC Enabled Case for Galaxy Note 8.0 Tablet

Since samsung decided not to include 3g/4g it the US version of the galaxy note tab 8.0 I have to use my Galaxy note 2 phone as a mobile hotspot. I also needed a case for the Note 8.0 and didn't want to spend $50 on an ugly plastic one so I made one of my own from an old book, an old pillow case, an old towel, a dragon patch, NFC capable sticker and good old fashioned thread and needle. oh 4 and mix in an MFA.

In the end I I have an awesome, very lightweight case that also doubles as a toggle for the wifi hotspot capability of my phone. Simply tap the dragon with the phone and the phones wifi hotspot goes on or off.
