Babble.
Whitey is on a tropical island getting married, I wanted to go…overseas, public holiday long weekend and two months after i bought my house.
Feel bad about not going, I’m brokeass trying to get ahead on my stupid house.
On that theme I’m trying the garden thing at the moment, the first of my tomato shoots emerged yesterday afternoon, trying chillis, spring onions, carrots and some cooking herbs. Its kinda nice I guess having the freedom to do so after a decade renting.
Not much else to report I work more than anything else at the moment.

Pain house update.
Still slowly unpacking, finishing painting and general maintance.
Get this, the house didnt come with a remote for the garage door so I order a couple.
I open up the control panel program the remotes to match the new code, they have little dip switches in both and go to test it. Nothing.
Not even any power.
Shit.
So I eventually work out that for the door to have power…..a FUCKING hall light switch inside the hall needs to be turned on INSIDE the house. Retards I tell you.
After working that one out I manage to put it from manual to remote by way of a paint roller on an extension pole (its quite hight and I have no ladder) the punchline is while it works upon closing it stops about 20cm from the bottom every time.
So I need to work out how to fix that, I read somewhere about a timing screw. Blah, another day.
*****
Sink backing up again, badly and into the dishwasher. Really gross.
$150 for a plumber to snake from the sink to outside… it was full of fat and grease, completely full.
Also got a new shitter while they were out. $450.
