HOUSE BOUND
not much going on down here of late. been kinda house bound for the most part so all i've got to share are things that are related to being house bound like the oncoming storm or the painting that's in progress or the fog i create every time i make pasta. i'm the only person i know who can create weather patterns inside his house whilst cooking. if i could only master the temperate climes of the caribbean i'd be golden.
for those who continually ask about the house, it's still standing and slightly leaky from the ball breaking three day torrent of a storm that ripped through town a couple days ago. it's going to be getting it's first taste of insulation in the coming week or two as well. goin for the polystyrene (aka: styrofoam) approach as opposed to the pink batts (aka: fiber glass insulation) because friends speak highly of the results. i'm hoping to raise the temperature inside the house to a livable 53 or 54 degrees because 48-50 is just not pleasant. these are fahrenheit numbers, not celsius numbers.
bills keep coming in from the electrician yet the work drags on at a snails pace...something i'm told is the norm here in NZ so i'm doing my best to go with it and not get bent outta shape.
it's also winter so this lil old blog might be a bit empty in the coming months as i take the time to experience life imagining myself as mother natures baby ice bullet who's been freshly fired from her frozen revolver. call it what you want, i gotta go play.
