lillilahWell, the most exciting thing I discovered today is that VLC media player can convert audio file formats. Yay! I haven't tested converting from FLAC to MP3, but it does work with M4A to MP3. I hate having to use online tools for this, so I'm really pleased.
I've also found a whole bunch of interesting things for the garden. There are some cool mosaics (glass, broken tile, pebbles) that can be made into stepping stones, which would be nice and artistic for the garden. I also found some cool kinetic wind sculptures. You can make some out of wire, and perhaps you could combine that wire with pieces cut from metal cans to make something a bit more fancy.
In less happy news, I had Joel ask the contractor if he was planning on removing the concrete floor of the chicken coop, and it seems that my request for that didn't make it into the queue. So, we will need to pay more to get that done. Did I tell you all that the upstairs subflooring was rotten? So, we will need to pay more to get that replaced. The fumigator came by, so that, at least, is done. And it looks like they are putting the tiles on the roof now. So, progress. But, as kind of expected, expensive progress.
