Gina's journey

@Gina P @Stottie Girl
Dear Gina & Sarah:

I was in "Track" in high school and I could lose 5 - 8 pounds after a day at the track, back then
the coach would pass out salt pills to the athletes to help them retain water in their body.
A diet that includes a lot of salt (sodium) has the same effect.

Weight of Water:

Gallon (US):               8.34 lbs (3.78 kg)
Imperial Gallon(UK):  10.02 lbs (4.55 kg)

  So the battle of the bugs continue! These pesky gnats, fruit flies, etc. Drains have been cleaned and are covered. Zevo trap plugged in. Fruit fly traps placed. Even a fly ribbon hung. Garbage removed every 3 days. There numbers have dwindled, until.....we had the windows open and then there were a lot of them yesterday. So the conclusion is they are coming through the small holes in the screens. Soon the cold weather will take care of them.
  House... Kitchen cabinets are here. Been pulling some long days installing the flooring. My back is hurting so much! I have less than a week until they come out and measure for the countertop. No prob. My wife has finally figured out that complimenting me, increases my work desire and productivity. Only took 40 years!
  An interesting find, I have been doing a bit of research on ADHD, and am pretty sure I have it. My son has it and probably inherited it from me. All the symptoms fit. Added to the gender dysphoria, it all fits.

Base kitchen cabinets are set and fastened. Wow, that was easy. Only one problem is after ordering them I found the wall corner was not square and fir'd out the studs to fix. Now the fridge will sit an inch and a half out in the hall. Smaller fridge would be an easy fix. But.... Wife is adamant about wanting that BIG fridge. I could build a door frame in the hall to hide it. I will have to think this over more.

We put cabinets and a countertop in our kitchen and discovered that neither end wall was square and the floor was crowned in the middle. Basically the cabinets were the only thing in the kitchen that was properly built.

There are cabinet depth and regular depth refrigerators with the same width but different depths.

Walls are almost never square. My kitchen has a bow in the middle of the wall so I had to adjust the whole L shape side of the Kitchen to account for it. My cabinet door and drawer fronts and plinths arrive today, I still have not got my wall cabinets on the wall. I need to cement and level the fireplace hearth first though as I have a new fireplace suite to install next week. Kitchen might have to go slow for a bit.I've still got my wall cabinets to hang and oven electrics, ceiling cladding and flooring to do in the kitchen Oh and work out how to install the integrated fridge freezer too.
