Uh oh! Too late, Megan showed up, the smell of fresh baked bread must have woke her up. She lives closer, so I have a feeling she will follow the smell and be here in a bit.

Long enough to reach from the far corner of the bedroom, down the hall and into the tub.. plus extra. It's two put together as one is not quite long enough.

Packaging was no hlep , doesn't list size. grrr.

Hubby growled at me when I asked his opinion. He's grumpy becuase I woke him up awhile ago.. hey I needed to know if he was just sleepy or if his blood pressure was bottoming out.. he growled back to not bother. Okay grumpy man.. see ya!

Tape measure ---- 30 feet from machine to tub.

I'm thinking you could go get some insulation tubing and put it in it in the hallway. Or even cheaper, those swimming pool noodles, some have a hole down thru the middle, a bit bulkier, but cheaper. Let me do some more thinking, must be something fairly inexpensive that could protect the tubing.

You know she's always saying "I'm hungry" .....

hmmmmmmm


Better make more bread.

How about remnant pieces of garden hose?

Well it's going to take about an hour and a half to get here...I'll start another batch right now.

This would work, dryer vent hose. Costs about $10 for 50', goes back into a compact area, protects the tubing, but would give the cat something to play with.

Hubby was thinking of that too, the swimming noodles idea would be great! Though finding it around here in November might not be that easy.


Hubby needs to make an Ax-Man run anyway, it's a surplus store with lots of oddball hardware and other cool stuff. We can see what they have.

We've used them quite abit over the years here in the metro area... I got an idea from a jewelry kit once, but didn't want to buy the kit. Made our own beads out of different colored speaker wire. They have tons of that at Ax-man, kept a class of school agers busy one day making beads and stringing them for creative necklaces and bracelets.
Hubby bought a few parts and made a little battery fan to teach the boys some basic electronics.

Or you could just put up thumbtacks or nails in the hallway wall and put most of the tubing draped over them, up out of kitty's reach.

I love making things out of other totally useless things.

But I think if you have enough tubing I would run it up on the wall above kitty's reach, then maybe put some duct tape on the part that goes down the wall and under the door.

Thats what we did with our cables when Mikalah was a baby. She liked to roll over and chew on them... We figured her hair was curly enough without being electrocuted... So we taped them up to the wall.

Have a few things to get done around the house and then I'm taking a bubbly bath. TTYL!

Hubby thought of that today, but I read that the tubing is only to be as high as sink height. There is some pressure to the fluid as it pulls, but not on a consistent basis. The machine does slow downs and checks.. stopping the "pull" of fluid. It would work in some areas to be waist high, but getting across the hall into the bathroom would mean having a tube suspended in the air.

We have a cable splitter, bought a 100 foot cable and ran it thru the heat registers. There was already a hole between our room and the boys room. Split it again and ran another cable.
Pay for cable for just one TV, get cable for three TVs

Computer and electrical cords have their excess length rolled up and tied with bread ties. Neat and tidy and I can see what each cord belongs to what machine.

Thats how ours are to, but our TV is on a different wall then our cable hookup.. So we have a cable that runs the out side of our living room. before she could crawl.. which wasnt until she was 11 months old.. she would roll over and chew on them. Crazy dang kid.

I skimmed thru most of that blog.. Looks like she made an excellent choice for her medical team. Impressive birthweights for multiples.

The "BOO" across the butt pic was adorable!!!

I'm trying to beat my Dell into good behavior.
It's been hanging up on shut down, read abit and foundout it's the stupid Dell Support center- soemting I odn't use and had turned off because it slows up the computer even more (needs more memory). Trying to remove the whole works.. but it's hanging up on something. argh!

I just gave up and will commence the beating another day.
