The coffee is great today. We are in for a change in the weather. Rain is coming in from the Ohio Valley so it should be here soon.
Water changes today along with finishing some putzing stuff that I started in the basement yesterday.
I've been trying to free up some space in tanks in preparation for a big move in a few months . I have a 40 breeder with just cories & the long fin L144s, and a 40 breeder with just snots. There is room in that snot tank for more. I have an empty twenty and a near empty 29.
My footprint needs to get much smaller so I can move easily to the new place when it's ready.

What do you mean by small?
...the music truly brings back some fond memories of college and at the same time strikes some serious reality notes with me...especially "Dust in the Wind". I didn't realize it until just now how that song has hung with me. We are here, really, only for a fleeting moment, and in the end we eventually blow away as dust, because really that's what we are made of. It all comes from the earth, and we're all constantly changing, until we turn back to dust.
S**t, what's happening here this morning? Whoa... ! w!w w!w w!w w!w
...coffee was delightful...!! |^| |^| |^| |^| |^|

...having lived there before, I know that...but it still doesn't make any sense....it's all about lazy builders and $$$'s made by using slabs....our house there had a 4ft crawl with a furnace pit....sheesh...
Yep, its all about the almighty bottom line. My house is different thought, its a Victorian built during the gold rush. Originally its foundation was some rocks sitting on top the dirt. Eventually I put a real foundation wall under it, which wasn't cheap. At the time, I thought about digging a basement, but then the whole house would have needed to be moved over for the construction, rather than simply raised in place 4 feet high. Just couldn't afford it.
A house built during the Victorian age must be a rare sight in California. I'd love to see pics of it.
Where I live we don't have basements ever. With the amount of rain we have it would be constantly flooded.
I have very few pictures of the house, its hidden behind trees except in winter.
The first pic I took from a nearby hilltop. See all those potential fish houses? My wife commandeered the outbuildings for animals, and the good shop building is full of my woodworking stuff.
The house was originally a miller's house. The mill next to the house burned down in the 1890's. The main house is just outside the frame. I have not been able to find an old picture that shows the house. It was also a post office at one time and possibly a house for sporting ladies. Its all that is left of the little town that was here.
I see no trees right in front of the house. Snap a pic. Is that a bee hive I see in your front yard? Are those metal out buildings yours? Do you have horses? You live in a more isolated spot that I do. Very nice.
QuoteMy wife commandeered the outbuildings for animals
Fish are animals too!!!
The geese making a mess on the unmowed lawn. I'll never be done remodeling, it was a complete wreck when we bought it. Ours is the only house around here.
You can see two white horses in the other picture. They died years ago. All the buildings are housing animals or filled with stuff. That little red building in front is the well house where the (nitrate-filled) water comes from. One of these days I'm going to start using the irrigation water, its unlimited and free... and great water too, it just needs to be sterilized and heavily filtered.
Nice Porch!
I like old houses.....we lived in a house up in New England that was built in the 1840's...loved that place....it belonged to a judge then...I found a flag with 36 stars (Nevada) up in the old barn/garage....the 37th was added in 1867, Nebraska...
I still have that old flag....

I am in love with it. Remodeling, hell...You'll get to that when you are ready. The window on the top floor that opens to the inside is very unusual. Geese are fine. They mow for you just as my horses used to do for me until they went wandering to the neighbor's. Just don't get close to them when they're nesting.

I disagree......goose poop stinks....and they leave lots of it too..... wfwf
But it's fertilizer! It is good!
All the work I've done so far has been on the foundation and interior. At one time you could see the ground through the floor, the squirrels were scratching inside the walls. The floor was so out of level the door wouldn't open all the way.
Those geese are pretty wild. They come after me and nip at my legs. The Canadian honker is tame though. They do shit all over the place. We have stopped throwing scraps out the kitchen door, it makes them hang out there and the dogs step in the goose shit. If it was just me there would be fish and a cat, and that's all... not because I don't like the goats and geese and peacocks and chickens... I just wouldn't go get them and bring them home. The cows are no trouble at all.
