Pure Evil
Sure, they are all cute and fluffy until the doorbell rings.
It takes a couple of dogs for one to realize just how often a doorbell rings on the TV….

Olde Tub
Included with our old house was a great old clawfoot tub that was unfortunately never hooked up, it was like a piece of furniture in one of the bathrooms.
Well last weekend in a fit of ambition I decided to finally take a bath, which required installing the tub. Someone had painted it yellow, and while yellow is a fine colour, we decided it needed a face lift.
When I flipped it over the date was clearly cast into the bottom of the tub, Aug. 1, 1911 (or January 8, 1911). That makes it almost 100 years old. Apparently this tub is a “4”
I bet it has seen a lot of bottoms over the years.
Anyways, after 3 days work and some fresh blue paint, here it is, installed and filled with bubbly goodness.
I can say this for sure, they sure knew how to make a comfortable tub back then!
Add my bottom to the list.

“If you give away your arse, you’ll have to shite through your ribs”
That little pearl of wisdom was often quoted by my grandfather. Made good sense, don’t give away something you need, although I don’t think he ever took his own advice as he gave away everything.
The original Tower Kit I built for display I lent out to a store, and needing one for a local train show tomorrow (Copetown) I had to quickly build another one. I finished it up this morning, here are a few shots.
Sitting next to some glasses, for scale.
I did a quick count, this is the 5th one of these I have built. Got it down to about 4 hours.
