Punishingly Intricate

Ben-formerly-of-next-door got a sweet deal on a clawfoot from...I think Second Chances? It's a beauty. I don't know if he had to refinish it or not, I assume so.

Bob and our contractor friend went to Second Chance today and actually bought a tub that was in good enough shape that we won't need to reglaze it. It was more $$, of course, but also came with all the hardware and plumbing whatnot and now we don't have to organize getting the tub glazed. It's sitting on our porch right now! Classy!! Demo work is due to start on the 17th. Contractor friend claims it will all take a week but I find that hard to believe.

I have never actually seen Lilo & Stitch! That's one I'll have to remember for when I can't figure out what to watch.

Don't forget about time zones, Tep.

Oh, I know. I'm watching in solidarity with my Eastern Time Zone nerds. And later we can all geek out about it together.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, lisah! It's taken forever for my parents' bathroom to get done, but at least it works now! (They are still waiting on delivery of the new vanity and medicine cabinet.)

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'm having preliminary Cosmos flails and I don't even have cable. So I actually have to figure out how I am going to watch. Still, OMG, Cosmos.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

I'm loving Cosmos muchly, especially the animation they're using to show historical events.

Woohoo! And boo for me not being able to pick your brain;) Isn't it nice to have the hardware that comes WITH it, rather than trying to fit the standards from decades ago? I can't imagine getting new faucets that look as good for my tub (and living room sink...)

COSMOS sarcasm: and this is on FOX? Evidence based science? Decrying the Big Lie?

I am also watching Cosmos in nerd solidarity.

"This is the family I made!" is the Buffista mission statement.

I meant to say that a friend of mine just did have her tub reglazed, like a couple of weeks ago, and they liked the guy who did it. I'll find out who it was!

Lisah, my Baltimore concierge, to the rescue again!

Tub talk: all white? Nubby fixtures? What kind of feet?

Do you have a local FOX affiliate? That's what we're watching on, since we don't have cable either.
