My wife runs a dayhome and the sooner I finished the basement the sooner we could stop using our main floor as a dayhome after we moved! I can cope with my daughter's toys laying around but 6 kids' toys laying around is brutal!

I have 2 cats and 2 kids and not a whole lot of sanity left. If it isn't toys it's hairballs or something. Or poo. My God my life is awash in poo. Some people have dogs in their lives. I have enough poo in my life. Don't get me wrong dogs are great. But they poo too. Please. No more poo.

Yeah I gave in and we tried a dog once. A wiener dog. That was a divorce brewing on four stubby legs so he was ousted. I'll be a 2 cats 2 kids guy on may 14th myself. And I feel tired NOW.

Congrats! Do you know what you're having yet or do you like to be surprised? Me, I figure there are enough surprises so I was happy to know beforehand. We kept it a secret for everyone else though, they had to wait until both boys were born to find out.

That's awesome. I mean that from a "thank God I'm not the only one" kind of way. No I'm kidding. It's awesome for you. Good luck with everything.

Yeah we know. Going to be a boy this time around. My wife said she'd keep it a secret but typical for her...everyone knew in a couple weeks lol.

I honestly have no IDEA what I'll do with a boy. I really have this girl thing mastered and totally don't wanna get ****ed on (literally). Only time I ever changed my nephews diaper he nailed me! I am prepared this time with these ****Shields they call peepee teepees haha.

I think that's why I like cats...they just take care of their own poo. I mean I have to clean the litter box but that's fine since they take care of the 'messy' part.

I'd say 'dealing' with the fish poo is WAY worse than the cats poo.

I have no trouble cleaning my skimmer cup or siphoning tankwater with my mouth as a startup for some weird reason. The litter is my job and I really hate doing it. I did the dog thing tho and that was a bazillion times worse.

wth...'bazillion' is in canreef's dictionary. 'CANREEF' itself isn't lol.

I'll officially be screwed if I get pregnant and have a little girl...wth am I going to do with a little girl?!?!

Congrats on the the boy when the time comes though...that's exciting. I'm good with babies once they're past the blob in a blankie stage (figure 6 months) until they're about three...when the start coping attitude I'm done with them until they're old enough for the bar LOL (kidding)

You guys should try your hand at cleaning reptile crap...infinately worse than cat or dog.

But since I've restarted vodka dosing, the skimmate that gets pulled out is disgustingly thick and stinky.

(like how that was a super hijack and then came sort of back on track talking about fish and all)

Default plumbed the fuge

Here she is. Sits on a stand that needed to extend a little over my return valve. Closest bulkhead will have a strainer and be the drain, other is emergency drain. I ran out of sch80 90s so you see the extravagant result for the over-the-top return from the manifold!
