The 3d maps are pretty cool except for my neighbors house which is some sort of weird tree castle.

I somehow feel like they are giving it away free for some subversive guinea pig bug testing on suckers.

That looks like a video game. I don't remember their house being that impressive... is it really?! Did they bring in extra trees from somewhere like that one bloke on pearl who brought in plastic flowers overnight just before the garden walk?

Shower Pan and Threshold Continued
Category: bathroom
Its starting to be a joke. At least it feels that way. I can't believe someone thought the way the threshold was made would be acceptable. I actually feel insulted that they thought we wouldn't notice or care.

The drop is even more obvious now with the threshold in place.

image

You can see how far the left side (right side of picture as its taken from inside the shower)
image

Here is the right side which is good an normal height like the other two corners.

image

Here is the fucked up one. Look at the difference in height.

image

Just look how much shit they had to shove in there to try and cover up the drop that will definitely cause water to pool there.

image

They tried to use a 1/2 caulk to make this work. Well caulk and some wood and a piece of cement board. It looks insane. Instead of having concrete on stone flush like the other side there is all this other material that will surely degrade at different rates and separate causing space for mold to get trapped etc.

image

The threshold even overhangs by 1/2 inch on both sides which is a major tripping hazard. This is especially frustrating because the guy specifically told me to buy 6inch wide threshold which was extra cost and now not only looks like shit but is a major tripping hazzard. I would have just bought 5inch if he had told me to.

image

Even the ceiling fan is crooked. Its like these people have never seen a right angle before.

Basra in the basement
Category: pets

Poor guy had to move into the basement for a while. With (e:xandra) in the orange room and (e:terry), (e:Joe) and I in the blue room. Both of the other rooms are off limits due to the bathroom construction.

The only remaining options were the red room in the attic or the basement. I tried the red room in the attic for a bit but its so full of tools and far away from kitchen, water, etc.

Having him in the same room as the water heater should also keep it warmer compared to the attic. My only concern is him making the laundry area smell bad.

We gave him a bath today so that's a good start at least. It took all three of us to get him clean as he hated being hosed down.

Roller Skating and Dancing
Category: dancing

We went to a techno roller skating party last night at rainbow rink in north tonawanda. It was awesome. The DJs were great and roller skating was way more fun than I rememberrd . It was almost like flying. At first I thought I wouldn't be able to do it but after a couple minutes I was confident enough to dance and skate at the same time. I skated for about an hour and a half but then had to quit because I started to get blisters from the skates.

I want to own a roller skating rink.

So much shit in the app store
Category: mobile
Literally. To make it extra weird it is the 23rd app that comes up when you search chromecast in the app store.
