Happenings

The geodome has been up for 5 days. Interestingly, it's just the PVC skeleton that is up. Its drab olive nylon covering has been taken down. I don't know, but if I was going to be using this as a home base structure in the Nevada desert for a week or two, I'd want a canvas cover, preferably white or stripey. Wouldn't that be cooler and more conducive to air flow? Hmm?

Jackass neighbor and his friend were out bullshitting at 1:30 am on Friday and woke me up. If I hadn't been sleeping naked because of washing my nightclothes, I'd have gone out and yelled at them.

Another good reason to spy on the neighbors? When you notice that a house for sale up the street is practically a mirror for your own, but sells for a low price of $112,000 (interestingly, over $20K less than Progressive Urban Real Estate originally priced it at 18 months ago, and they reused that price when the new owners put it on the market 3 weeks ago. Are they on crack?) you can cite that house when the county auditor tries to tell you the market value of your house is $124,000 for the new property tax figures. My house's official square footage is slightly less too. I am trying to wrap my heart around how deeply I fucked myself with homeownership.
