Floating in limbo


1/8 installed range. Still unclear when this will be working. Crapola. Electrical isn't finished. And the venting system is sorely in need to be started. No ducting, no power, nada. But at least the stove is out of the box. The gas line is hooked up, but no electricity means no working stove. All that new fangled computer brains inside modern stoves with their electronic ignitions and safety measures. Phooey. All this gadgetry, and I'm no better than lighting some wood in the oven.


German faucet. Built like a tank. Will last a lifetime. Handle mounted on the left side for my lefty inclinations. And finally, after much cussing from the plumber, the dishwasher is in. German brand, American made.



American instant hot water dispenser and garbage disposer. I got all anal retentive and ordered a black water dispenser because having a satin nickel finish on the dispensor will not match the stainless steel faucet. Even though 98.7% of the general population won't be able to tell the difference. But I can.


Lack of air conditioning requires me spending a lot of time floating in the middle of the pool. It's freakin' hot. And so am I, in my new magenta pool lounger.
