robotech_masterWent by Kmart today and bought one of those fits-over-your-toilet shelf thingies. My brother Aaron, who came over to replace the paper towel holder for me, put it together, but we ran into a slight problem: I have high ceilings. Very high ceilings. 10.5 foot high ceilings, if my measurements are accurate. If I stand with my feet flat and raise my arm all the way up in the air, I can't quite touch it. Since the toilet shelf thing is supposed to brace itself against floor and ceiling to stay snug in place, this has led to a bit of a problem. Apparently it wasn't made for ceilings of such a great height. Aaron'll bring over some 2x4s to stick under it to help brace it later on.
On the other hand, it is nice that the high ceiling makes the place feel so roomy...
And another thing: while Aaron was over here, he helped show me how to use the dishwasher that came with the place. So far, it seems to be working fine. It's funny, I had thought of dishwashers as being things that were a part of your counter and connected to the wall and stuff...but this dishwasher is a portable model; it has a little hose and socket that you pull out of it and attach to a quick-release thing on the faucet. Then turn the faucet on, put the detergent in, and watch it go. Funky. It's kinda neat watching the water drain out into the sink from the thing attached to the faucet.
Now I should only rarely ever have to handwash dishes again! Yay!
