Houses

Inane ramble no.1 - I own what could best be described as a "renovators delight". Currently I'm in the process of redecorating (rebuilding) an attic bedroom for niece no.2. What a nightmare! Oh the building etc is going ok but anybody that has attempted to moderate the excesses of a 19 yr old female wannabe architect will understand the nightmare part!
There is just no way a 3 foot square mirror that weighs a ton (well - heaps anyway) can be mounted on a sloping ceiling in such a way to facillitate doing ones make-up or admire the new dress! Miss architect has made some utterly impractical suggestions to date. I think she should do engineering and then study architecture - lol.

A bit about my - ummmm - totally different household. I'm an immature adult male of an age where one doesnt talk about age - hmmmm - draw your own conclusions.
Other denizens of the pit include an 80 something grandmother who could have been Hitler's mentor.
A 19 year old niece (no. 2) - henceforth known as "the architect".
A 17 year old niece (no. 3) - to be known as "miss vague" or sometimes as "miss eccentric" or "the dreamer".
A 15 year old niece (no. 4) - known as "baby momma" for reasons that will become apparent as time progresses.
Other transient or semi-permanent residents inlude too many dogs, an assortment of rats and mice, itinerant possums (they take up casual residence in the eaves), inbred wallabies, rabbits by the dozen and every damn bird of every type in T.asm.ania nesting in any damn nook or cranny they can find! (Its spring time here and the (expletive deleted) horrors make one helluva racket scrabbling and twittering starting at dawn!!).
Oh - and we all live in a dilapidated run down old house in the country.......... And the kitchen roof leaks in heavy rain!
I-AM-STARK-STARING-MAD........ sob........
