Killing time tonight
Just sitting around tonight. Had some very long nights trying to wrap up some client work for a deadline that was today. Made it though, so all’s well. But my brain is sleepy.
I finished the external parts of the greenhouse today with Akiko. We made a door and added it to the structure. Has a little handle and lock as well (just a latch lock). Also bought some thermometers for the greenhouse. We got two, because they were both cheap. One is classic, white long thermometer with a gauge for the humidity, only 3 bucks. The other was 11 bucks, but is digital and wireless, mmm geeky. It has a base unit and remote unit, so the remote unit is out in the greenhouse and reports wirelessly to the base unit in my house. This one will tell me the time, the indoor temp, the outdoor temp, and the min/max temperatures for both locations and at what time they occurred. So more than just buying it because it was a gadget, I think it will actually be interesting to see how cool the greenhouse gets in the evenings.
I already know I need to buy some weatherstripping to seal up the door we made, if the wind blows there’s a huge draft that comes in around the door. (We used to have some weather stripping but apparently Akiko ‘donated’ it.)
So I tried to make a little time-lapse movie of the greenhouse build, but Windows Movie Maker crashed. I’ll try again tomorrow.
I also saw a nice link to Photoshop brushes on Digg today, and got inspired to at least play with one. Nothing special, but whoomp, here it is:
