Here's Mac checking out the furnace from above, through the new hole in the kitchen floor. Notice how the drain pipe to the sink is no longer there . . . It kind of fell off.

But, by Friday evening, we were seeing some progress:

Look, kitchen cabinets! You can't see it but we figured out how to hook up a new drain too.
Apparently the local Red Cross chapter is offering blood donors raffle tickets for free gasoline this summer. I don't really know where to begin with this one.
I was alerted to this particular "blood for oil" opportunity in an alert from a local public health organization .
Today when I fed the fish, I happened to glance at the castle that's been in my tank for, oh, 12 years (eek) and noticed this little
red fish sticking out of the second window from the left - clearly stuck.
And, oh my, was he/she freaking out. Ultimately, I had to pick up the castle and use my finger to push him/her back through the other way. The poor thing has a sore on his head from trying so hard to swim through a too-small hole. Now, I have to decide if this was just a freak occurrence or is this castle actually a DEATH TRAP.
The things you'd just never think of . . .
