Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[TeaChick]

Here's our floor plan:

The whole area is 96 square meters, but the sauna area takes about a third of that (on the right), leaving about 70 square meters for the living quarters. I usually keep the office and bedroom door shut, which further brings the cleanup area to about 50 square meters, or about 550 square feet. With the dogs dropping so much hair, we like to keep it running every weekday. It really helps keep the dust in check. If you don't have animals inside, it doesn't need to run as often. I think it takes it between 1 and 2 hours to do that, but it needs to work around a lot of obstacles with the way our layout is set, and the furniture makes for some obstacles. With more open spaces, it's quicker.

The reflective surfaces are a problem, because it uses a laser radar to map the space it moves in, and it gets confused with shiny metal, mirrors or things like motorcycle helmet visors.

Oh, okay.
Wow! Great graphic!
Thanks for the info. We have one dog inside, but all the children who live here are a bigger mess than she is.
Oh, we don't have reflective surfaces. There's a foam mat in one of the bedrooms, there are two rooms with rugs, and we don't have a lot of obstacles, so this is something that sounds like it could work well for us! I've got to talk to DH. =)
Oh, does it kick up dust like a regular vacuum cleaner does on hard floors?

We have a Roomba. The grandson's ferret was out and about the house and I heard the starting tone. He was standing there looking amazed. As soon as it started backing out of the dock he ran into the adjoining room. It followed. I walked in just in time to see him standing in the hallway peeking around the corner obviously puzzled about this monster. The moral of the story is that even a ferret can do the housework woth one of these.

I need a ferret!

Go for it. You might be able to break a record.

I think I have the record on this thread with six posts in a row.
I'm too lazy to do the finger work to find out though.

That was calories for Chocolate Pecan Pie per serving.

Oh, wait! That depends on where you bake it.
Everything baked in my kitchen has no calories in it.

No wonder I'm having trouble losing weight...

My DH threw this together he started yesterday and finished it today. He used the old wood from a wheel chair ramp. It is for my 4 Chantecler to keep them out of the cold and nest boxes. He still needs to add some slats on the ramp. We still have to get it in their pen. But I hope they will use it!
Please excuse the tree down next to the shed.

That is a great re use of the wood!

I hope the chickens like it too.

Gettin' chilly here too, temps have been dropping since morning and the wind is starting to howl. Poor Pa had to go outside and drag some snow off the greenhouse and workshops earlier but now, I'm curled up in my recliner with my fuzzy blanket and a pup that's doing her best to push my bum ankle off the footrest so she can stretch out, Pa is stretched out on the couch watching football and the kitty is all curled up and snoozing in my wheelchair next to him.

Looks good!

Yeah!
But I'm done with the coffee for today.

I'm ready for some hot cocoa spiced tea.

Yeah, here too. They forecast the low this morning to be 41, it was 40. Now, it's getting colder outside instead of warmer. I'm going to have to write to the weather complaint dept. Anybody know the address????
Oh, never mind, Perchie and Ron like to brag about their weather, I'll just write to them!!!! Bwahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cats and roombas: how to get your cat to help with the housework!

Just got done processing my DD's pet Cochin.

I hate killing my chickens anyway, but I got nauseous when I had to do my baby's pet.

If they ever make a chicken a pet again, they can be the one to butcher it; I don't have the stomach to kill my children's pet!!!!!!!!!!
