Yeah, Kenny sits pretty weird. I don't think he really has a preference in terms of the lady cats or the fella cats, but I know he has leg problems that prevent him from walking on hardwood floor sometimes. Poor thing.
Gamby and Kenny need to hang out.

The currently disassembled Rape Dungeon.
It is miles better than it was a month ago, used to be piles of broken electronics and a stray mattress in the middle of the floor.
This is the area the lounge will be one day, need to fix that futon frame really bad, tape down the carpet (found it outside my house for FREE!)
Next we have the in-prog-nito jam space area (building a stage out of old pallets, just need to invest in some plywood and throw an old rug on it and then the instruments will be saved when the moisture sneaks in this spring...
And continuing to the left, Art Studio/sewing room. Which will take up 90% of the long wall. lots of junk to get rid of still, and tons of rearranging, but it's not just a garbage heap anymore, which is awesome.

OH yeah, and this is my tiny kitchen. it doesn't look that small in the picture, but keep in mind i am almost in the oven taking the picture. Also the colour combination is terrible. Burgundy does not go with "light blue with fake wood grain and infinite stains". Also, if you inspect the hinges, someone has painted them PURPLE. not a matching burgundy, but flat out, PURPLE. doesn't show up well in photos. but it's pretty horrid. Still, I've made many a delicious cheesecake in there. so I shouldn't complain.
and for good measure, my living room (when i'm not busy in the rape dungeon):
and one last one... Angus in his royal throne.

Thanks for that AWE-SUMB home tour. Shit you have some space to play with. Basements are a huge bonus, especially for loud musicians. Great idea, the pallets for moisture.
In-prog-nito.
Awesome rape dungeon. Who wouldn't want to get raped down there?
Actually galley kitchens are one of the best, most efficient kitchen designs. No wonder they use them on boats. They can be really small and still function wonderfully. That blue is awesome though. I actually use that color quite a bit. Not with burgundy though.
Your kid beats the drums? Cool.
And that print is tits. Love that.
Gamby wants to talk to Angus now too.
Okay. I swear I am shooting more pics today. You've inspired me.

from Calgary, AB is reading Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy SeriesApril 17, 2012 - 11:57am
Yeah the pallets seem like a good idea, problem is now that they're all laid down none of the heights match. Sigh. I'll figure it out. doesn't have to be perfect, the stage is just getting usedfor instrument preservation, rehearsal and the odd house party. ;)
The mini-kitchen I love when I'm alone. As soon as you have 2+ people putting a dinner together or in my case, when the band bakes our merch, it gets awfully crowded and hard to function in. I'm not big on light blue since moving into this house. my bedroom was sky blue pink with little yellow dots when I got it. It was horrendous to sleep in. Painted it over with battleship grey and white(ish) trim. Now I sleep all monotone like a silent movie queen.

So cool!! I am getting mine a junior drum set. She found a set at an event we were at and for a 2 y/o seems to have a pretty natural proclivity for them. I hadn't thought of getting sound dampeners...I wonder if she'll still need them on a smaller set?

from Calgary, AB is reading Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy SeriesApril 17, 2012 - 1:32pm
Small kits don't have nearly as high a decibel as a full kit. Probably won't need them. Josie mostly has them because she likes to hang out during rehearsals and i drag her to All Ages shows whenever I can. Guitar Feedback and little ears is a bad combo.
Those little sets are so ridiculously cute. I have a super cheap set for her, but they're not as cool as just the shrunk down real kits. One day.

I totally typed kitts every time and then had to change it. I think maybe we spend too much time together. ;)
I used to drum a bit, not so much any more. The kid inherited her drumming ability from her dad, luckily (which I'll never admit when he's in earshot). She's still too young for lessons, I'm pretty sure all toddlers come with built in ADD.

So I blew my upper back out (nothing new) doing the crown mouldings and figured since I cant work, I better catch you guys up on the bathroom project. Also, my usb cable broke and, well...
So. Here goes. Remodeling Gauntlet. This project is going to put me in my grave. Thank godlings carpenters have eternal life.
Above is kinda the before. The place has the bones. Only they are buried. Like the door knobs:
And even the door. Trust me, we can rebuild her. Better. Stronger. Faster. It may cost six million dollars, but hell, it is worth it, right?
Below is the culprit. Culprits like to look all non-chalant, but they will fuck you no less.
This turned into, well, a scab. Nice linoleum, eh?
Daddy's little helper. He always knows how to run power tools, but he was on break. His sandpaper tongue is ideal for finishing wood.
Radiant heat. We pulled this and sandblasted it. I need to powdercoat it.
Here, I was about to spray texture:
Shaping up a bit. But not enough. Med cab for cutie below...
Improved a tad below:
Framed this recycled mirror to mimic the old original, dropping a hint of modernity:
Oh, and painted and added some moulding. Blink. Genie.
And so here we are, well, when my back blew its shorts:
I can't wait till this whore is done.
