Going to finish modifying a door jumper for my spoiled brat, basically i'm making a butt window.
She's doing well enough for some low impact jumper strolling.
I got given this one, couple said their kid didn't like it.
I know why lol! They had it put together wrong so the poor child had to be terribly uncomfortable.:hmm

Yesterday was italian meat balls, marinara sauce and spaghetti.

We all liked it a lot
 
So... The saga of the neighbor continues.

They've completed the exterior frame of the house and put the roof on, all during the rainy weather we have this time of year. That means that the whole thing has been wet to the point of they'll be lucky to not have issues with mold. The window flashing is only on the sides and bottom of the windows, not along the top, so yeah, they'll have issues there. They haven't had a building inspector out to check on it since before the foundation was poured, and the property owner has only been out once since they started building.

Well, Friday they decided to dig the trench to pay the power conduit. Not only did they not tell us they were digging, but they also we digging on our property in a place that I would not have let them dig. In the process, they dug through the power line feeding the entire neighborhood :rant... With a backhoe :barnie. Tomorrow I get to call the water company back and tell them that the water in the trench is not frozen, which it should be with the current temps, meaning they did, in fact, damage a water line, most likely ours since our water pressure has decreased since then.

I'm not furious anmore, karma is gonna get them. They are getting fined and a bill from the power company, so I'm just helping karma out by getting with the water company and letting them know who to contact about paying for the repairs. No, I'm not happy about it, but the fact is, the guy with the backhoe is lucky he didn't get electrocuted The next thing he would have hit would have been the gas line, so we were lucky that the neighborhood only lost power for 5 hours. Things could have been a thousand times worse.

Wind chill is at -25°. BRRRRR!!
Definitely cold out there. We only got a couple inches of snow.

Going to have to thaw water several times today.

I hope everyone else is warmer.
