Cables embedded in mortar

I got back to work on the bathroom and I got the warm heat cables embedded in mortar. I still need to finish the area under the tub and figure out what I am going to do at threshold. I was able to keep The Grizz out in the back yard as he still doesn't like the back step area. In any case no paw prints in the mortar. Grizz had a good day enjoying his new yard.Posted by Picasa

Deadboy & the Elephantmen at the Highdive

Morning of Sunday Feb 19th Weekend Editon Sunday reported on a band on the road from Houma LA. NPR has been keeping an eye on Houma so I don't know if it was the music and the fact that they were in D.C. that got them invited in. Thursday Feb 23 the News Gazzette ect section report that the Fierry Furnaces are going to be at the Highdive on Saturday and deadboy & the Elphantmen are opening for them. Well not 4 days since I had heard the report - how could I not go. (Check out the NPR story link above - also has 3 mp3s)


As for the show it was a good night a semi local band out of the Chicago area openend for the opening act. They are an interesting act - 2 people, the guy on the guitar, girl on the drums. Good act. Interesting CD - I will discus it later.

The third act the Fiery Furnances are a brother and sister act but they reversed the roles the girl singing lead vocals on most songs and playing the guitar some with her bother playing the guitar and backed up by a base guitar and drummer. Posted by Picasa

Grizzy Arrives in Homer



A new canine member has joined the household.
Grizzly AKA Grizzy rode well remaining the front passenger seat and not getting into my lap or roaming the car.

He was glad to get off the road but is still settling in. I am sure he misses his family but he is identified me as the person who feeds him.

On Sunday he was very excited to climb back into the car but after a trip to town I think he was disappointed to arrive back in Homer. After several walks he still favors lying by the front door rather than at my side. I think he is expecting to head to the car and go home to VA. This morning he was very disappointed to have to go into the crate but he complied reluctantly. He was very happy to see me when I returned home.

He is sleeping beside my bed and behaving very well - he is very excited about food. I have been feeding him twice a day rather than having food around all day but he is leaving a bit of food in the bowl so I think he is getting enough. (Plus treats) Posted by Picasa

WarmHeat Tile heater

 


I installed the heating wires for the warmheat tile heating system this weekend. Next I will need to embed the wires in 3/16" of mortar. Posted by Picasa
