Farting about and interesting discoveries

Still not dead. Still not king.

Work is doing okay-ish, new boss is still in the "trying out my new shiny toy" stage. Nothing I can't handle, although he's happy as hell given that in my first couple days there I fixed several issues that had apparently been driving him nuts for a while. It's going to be evil though. Very, very evil. I get paid monthly and work within walking distance of bunnings. Mwah. Mwahhahaha BUAAHHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAHA

*cough*

Found out today that fuck me, we do actually have a tv antenna on this house. Heh. When we moved in, I tested the port, got shit signal. Stuck my head out, had a scope, no antenna on the roof. Welp, we have none. Seeing as we have Foxtel, didn't really give a shit.

Then today, six years down the track, I stick my head up into the attic space to check for leaks and possums. And there, in all its shaggy cobwebby glory, crammed square in the space between ceiling and roof is...the antenna.

...No, I don't know why the fuck.


EDIT: I should clarify - the antenna is mounted inside the roof cavity. No, it's not lying on its side, abandoned and stored. It's mounted upright and plugged in.

Inside the roof. (we have damn near 3m roof cavity height)

......no, I still don't know why the fuck.

GODDAMMIT IS IT SUNDAY YET????

yeah if/when we buy this house, I'm so gonna turn the bathroom (opposite to the loungeroom door) into a stairwell and stuff a spare bedroom and a workroom up there. Yes, we have enough space for that - the huge cavity area covers above the loungeroom, my office (main bedrooom) and torasin's office - and this is an old house, with the smallest room space being ~ 3mx4m. (My office is closer to 5x4, loungeroom is even bigger)

So we turn half the man room into an ensuite for our bedroom, put the spare room stuff upstairs, turn the bathroom into a stairwell (and a comms room under the stairs :D) and also stick another bathroom, room for my sewing/craft shit and a store room up there. There's literally that much space. (also: Redo insulation between floors, and R6 the shit out of the underside of the tiles)

God I love these old houses :D
