Cupola

This is my house. Better known as "The Castle House" in my po-dunk town. Mainly because of the turret and the fact that the walls are over 12" thick. Poured concrete. Might discuss in another post.


This is my turret. Or cupola. Depending on where you stand, I guess?





From outside of the house, it's a turret. From inside, it's a cupola since it goes all the way to the roof line.




Got a great carpenter. This time. The original contractor just didn't seem to give a crap. The trim around the cupola was set with a laser level. The structure of the house is not level.






He actually CARES about his workmanship.









This is where you can REALLY tell how bad the house is not level or square.  He's really trying to make it look good.

This is almost finished.

My carpenter/artist finally devised these light boxes to hide the unevenness of the structure. LED rope will be placed in them.

This is the finished product. I have repainted. The window casing will be replaced with stain worthy oak to match the rest of the masterpiece.

What do ya' think so far?

I Don't Love Spam

Not even the canned spam. Just one day in my spam folder...

Need a date? Go to Speed dating - get a date in 3 mins flat! Guess they don't realize I'm already married. Just a sec, I'll ask hubby if he minds if I get a date in 3 mins.

Apparently I am old enough to retire since I'm getting spam about retirement communities. If I don't want to retire just yet, I can get a job as a medical assistant. I'll definitely keep the email about getting rid of bed bugs. No telling who's lived in that retirement home before I move in.

Do the spammers think I need sex change operations? Multiple times?

Penis enlargement - Larry
Lose 20 lbs by summer - Lucille

Hungry? Get a free Papa Johns pizza delivered to my door. Woohoo! Free steak at Outback! Olive Garden wants to give me pasta!

Are there any millionaires living by me? According to my email I can look at photos of them! Make me feel small and inadequate while I view luxurious mansions and grounds. 

To make myself feel better I can go to school to become a Behavioral Therapist. I'll make myself behave better. 

I need to learn how to cook (Culinary school) or cook healthier, get a law degree or accounting, and I get a bonus package. Why? Just for being awesome.

Hey there!

For being awesome - which you are... I'm going to toss you

an AMAZING bonus today!

I have a new name - Lydia.

All that in one day! I think I need a drink now.
