4189. Ulgine Barrows - 5/10/2008 6:58:46 AM jexster, I abhor guns, but that's a funny picture. 4190. wonkers2 - 5/10/2008 2:51:58 PM Good to see you back, Ulgine. 4191. judithathome - 5/10/2008 7:29:25 PM Ditto! 4192. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:00:51 AM The foundation is in:
Such a lot of concrete! 4193. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:02:02 AM Hubby in his study...or at least where it will be when we get the first floor built.
 4194. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:21:52 AM Thoughtful sitting in the breakfast nook...or actually in the windows in the guest room...the breakfast nook will be there once the first floor gets built.
 4195. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 1:24:00 AM Waterproofing the foundation. Just like with a baby, nothing like a dry bottom!
 4196. arkymalarky - 5/14/2008 2:41:08 AM Wow, that looks massive. 4197. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 2:05:29 PM Yeah, I guess that's what happens when you build a ranch style house in the northeast... a lot of basement and a deep one as it has to go 4' below ground level to get below the frost line.
The house is not that big though, at least for this area. It'll be 2100 sq ft on the main floor which is small compared to the 5,000 and 6,000 sq ft monstrosities they build in town. The town itself has a 1500 sq ft minimum so it's not that much over. 4198. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 2:06:28 PM I just love the picture of the war kitten.
I showed it to hubby and suggested we make sure we keep our guns away from Cas...don't want to give him any ideas!
Your tuna or your life! 4199. judithathome - 5/14/2008 2:18:22 PM Harley is in that kitty's army, for sure. But she has had advanced training in paw-to-ankle warfare.
Thoughtful, you're as lovely as I always thought you were...strangely, you look a lot like someone I've seen before. ;-) 4200. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 3:11:34 PM You mean that blank expression on my face?
Next time, I'll be sure to smile! 4201. arkymalarky - 5/14/2008 3:34:28 PM Haha!
That's the size of my house, which is more than.enough when it's time to clean. We have a two-story, which looked tiny when it was just the foundation. No basement--they're rare here due to moisture. I wish we had one or a storm/root cellar. 4202. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 4:02:30 PM Yeah, especially this year! You sure it's not all the politicians running around causing all that wind??? 4203. alistairconnor - 5/14/2008 5:14:10 PM Not wishing to anthropomorphise excessively, but our dear delinquent cat Cookie committed suicide today.
Jumped out of the window, 6th floor.
He's been messing with open windows ever since it's been warm enough to open them. Obviously had no idea of the danger, and a strong instinct to run outside and play. So unfair for a young cat, condemned to apartment life.
There will be much grief this evening. And some sort of burial ceremony, I suspect. I think we'll have to smuggle him into the park and do a clandestine internment. 4204. thoughtful - 5/14/2008 6:35:18 PM Oh that's so sad. I'm sorry to hear that.
It is not uncommon though.
Apparently cats falling from higher heights are less likely to die from the fall.
See High Rise Syndrome 4205. judithathome - 5/15/2008 4:07:43 AM So sorry, Alistair. 4206. jexster - 5/15/2008 7:58:14 PM Meet your match
ASPCA develops cat personality test 4207. wonkers2 - 5/15/2008 10:45:22 PM Thoughtful, your basement looks like a good tornado shelter, maybe even a good bomb shelter. 4208. thoughtful - 5/16/2008 1:30:45 PM Yeah, wonks except for the fact that it's completely open on one side. Clearly though, we'll have a great place to go for when a tornado hits. Fortunately, they're rare in our area. Many years back, tho, we did have an F-4 cut a 40+ mile long, mile wide swath through the middle of massachusetts. Considered one of the deadliest. 94 dead, 1300 injured. Yikes!
