YOU WILL NOW ADMIRE THE WATER HEATER!

[thanate]

It is a very glamorous water heater, which is to say that it's efficient & works without pouring unburnt gas into the dining room, and it assisted in turning my hair funny colors. Or rather, it assisted in making sure that once I'd turned my hair funny colors it didn't share them with anything else.


Dry, slept on, not yet brushed out. I find that when the tips of your hair are over three feet from the top of your head, it is fairly easy to lay down plastic on the bathroom counter, pull up a chair, and then just weigh the ends down with a soap dish or something so they don't get dye on anything else while you wait for it to set. Not sure how useful this technique is going to be to anyone else I know...


Brushed out & re-braided. When the light catches the dark bits, they look very shiny metallic, hence the Lisa Frank comparison. I still regret the nonexistence of dark green, but I'm highly entertained by the exercise anyway. We'll see how dumb it looks as it starts to fade out.

And on the house front:


Ready for the concrete.


My sump drain modifications to help the yard dry out in time for the concrete truck.


Today, inside: dining room, kitchen pantry, & plastic over the upstairs hallway. The windows are in outside, but the vet was running behind, so I didn't get home to photograph them before it got dark.

Also of note: the cat is pronounced maybe suffering from allergies, but nothing to worry about. (He'd left off looking particularly disturbing by that point anyway, and while he yowled for the entirety of both car rides, I bribed him with cat treats to reinforce silence in the waiting room, and besides growling about being palpitated & stuck with a needle, was quite civilized the entire time.)
