@slow.dog Aaaah! So good! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
@evill.bsky.social I'm afraid my test failed. :)
@Miraz Yeah, those are exactly the kinds of things you find! In one place, we found that they had installed an alarm system where they had cut the electric plug for and then spliced it with speaker wire which they ran under the carpet across the room to the other wall. They had also run a telephone line outside to a gazebo... which I figured out one time when it was raining and suddenly my internet connection died.
@Miraz I think one of the nicest things about building a house must be the ability to KNOW what's going into it. Knowing and actually understanding it all would be a challenge for me certainly, but it still seems like a great opportunity!
Each house I've bought was built before 1960 and in every case I've found things that just have to make you wonder.
@kimberlykg.com Of everything, I think I'm most excited to see you. :)
@Miraz I was wondering about what some of that means too. :D It seems like solid progress, however.
@gobino I just based it on the tag. I suspect I'm missing some (many?) of the posts though due to the way the fediverse works. I should probably go look for the contributors and add them (while keeping the tag) so the list is more complete.
@hiro You might be interested in this Surf feed I created a few weeks ago. :)
@mandaris This is a solid idea!
@jim I have jury duty this coming week. Nearly everyone I have mentioned this to has tried to give me their advice for how to get out of it. I say that I think it's important and I'm not trying to get out of it. I'm getting less patient every time I have to repeat that.
So yes, thanks for being a considerate citizen.
@slow.dog I wear Keen's for the wide toe box.
@Miraz That is wonderful indeed! That must be a really good feeling.
@Miraz It's starting to look like a house! (At least a bit! :D )
Exciting progress though.
@tlockney.net I have had this envy of everyone else that got to see it before, so I get it. It's fantastic (of course) and I hope you get a chance to see it at some point.
@jay-ntcrw.bsky.social The colors are lovely. :)
@touz132.bsky.social I agree. :)
@val The colors!! Beautiful.
@steveflip.bsky.social Happy to try to help!
@steveflip.bsky.social Hey Steve. :)
@patrickrhone I agree. Do we have to accept this though?
@no1listened.bsky.social That's fair. They are a dangerous 5 minutes by car from me. :)
@no1listened.bsky.social I bet you could find folks at the Acorns and Threads stitch days willing to share. And there's always a freebie table at their big events that could effectively do this.
@reswytcher.bsky.social My son recommended it and then harassed me until I finally read it! I've enjoyed a few others of hers too!
@reswytcher.bsky.social Oh, this is a GOOD BOOK.
@broinn.bsky.social You're doing great! Keep going!
