Its a nice warm saturday afternoon and im sat here with my headphones on listening to music while my missus sleeps and my daughter is out swimming, theres a window next to me with a great view of the world going by and im about to start working on my cat laser project.
Im trying to make a power supply for it so ive got lots of soldering to do this afternoon, im hoping i can get the hardware built so i can start programing this afternoon.
What are all of your plans for your weekend and what are you all up to at the moment?
Well, Sunday rather than Saturday, I finally got round to cutting through an old cast-iron soil pipe with a grinder to make a clean end to connect on modern plastic piping. I just ned to find a local source of McAlpine couplings to join old and new. I’d been putting this off for a while due to inexperience and uncertainty - no going back once youv’e started - but its turned out fine.
The sun was shining on Saturday so I finished replacing one of the slabs in the garden path with some old Victorian mosaic tiles. I also connected the hot and cold water supply to my downstairs kitchen.
Upgrading - which means Upgrading - which means stripping every room back at least to the plaster. Removing and replacing most of the flooring. Re-wiring, re-plumbing, new heating, complete refit of kitchen, utility room and two bathrooms. We are about 60% done, and it’s taken about a year so far. But I’m only spending at most one day a week on it just now.
