Saturday: Hubby had clinical again. This time in Labor and Delivery. He got to observe 2 C-Section and 1 “regular” deliveries. Surly Teenager was home this time, but she slept in and then stayed in her room. I was once again able to keep the house picked up for several hours in a row.
The rest of the day was just so exciting that I can’t even remember it.
Sunday: We went grocery shopping. Woo-Hoo. We lead such an exciting life. After that Hubby worked on work stuff he had brought home.
I cleaned off the back porch and started painting it. I almost quit several times because of those pesky little bugs. Those little gnat looking things. They kept flying into the paint bucket. And landing on the brush. And landing on the fresh paint and getting stuck. And flying up my nose. Between that and the dog - who every time I turned around was back up on the porch, squeezing her big hairy butt between me and the wall and getting paint on herself and hair in the freshly painted wall – I really wanted to just walk away and put up Christmas decorations. But I painted until about 1 hour before dark, and got about 1/3 done.
I paint slow.
Hubby was supposed to bring in the Christmas stuff from the shed, but first had to clean up his stuff from all over the family room so I would have a place to put the stuff. So of course it never got brought in.
Aquarium Update:
Sealant applied and left to sit for 3-4 days. Tank was filled with water to test. We were planning on having it sit until Wednesday, full of water, to make sure it was fixed. Then drain it while being away for Thanksgiving, and set it back up after that.
But…..
Tank FAILED the water test, as it started leaking after about 3 hours. It was leaking from a different spot, water is coming out right above where you see the jug, last time it was the rear corner, but it was still leaking. And, see that brown amongst all the black? That is where the particle board stuff expanded from the water and cracked the plastic-y coating.
All in all a bad purchase.
So now what? Well, we drained it. Hubby will reseal the new spots. And then we will get rid of it, try and sell it as a dry use only aquarium. We are afraid to trust it alone in the house. We are going to buy a stand for the new 30 gallon tank, which was going to be temporary and will now be our only tanke, and that will be it for now.
One of these day I may eventually get a new 55 gallon tank, on a new stand.
What I want to know, is how did those people know the exact right time to sell it, before it started leaking in THEIR house.
