So Hubby built Toms 4 x 8 night box while he was home this time. I had a complete hysterectomy last week so I was very limited to what I could contribute. (No, I didn’t tell anyone) He had to go back to work Tuesday and the main construction was complete. I just had to seal the outside and build the door, attach the lid, put all the heat, lighting, shelving in. We went with the big one to accommodate numerous tortoises down the road and offset the door so we could make it a double if needed. Son has been helping me. This thing is HEAVY! Yesterday, I asked my yard guys if they could move it this weekend for me and today I worked like crazy to get as much done as I could. They came just before dark ahead of schedule, and luckily I had finished all the sealing and leveled the spot for it. So it’s in place. I still have to finish a couple small things and run it to stabilize temps. I’m so excited though. I will be showing off in a couple days
If I wanted to paint the house, I’d have to ask husband till I’m blue in the face...

He looks like he could be a baby. He's much smaller than any other one I've had. Got him at Petco, but he wasn't labelled as a baby.
Yes!!! You really know your beans, girl!
Can’t see the pictures [emoji24] Will try again later...
Thank you, Lyn!

Nice job! Congrats to her!
You can’t find the group? It’s been made secret now, because some random people tried to force their way it and steal our armadillos. [emoji33] They might even have been Not Real People. [emoji33][emoji33] You would need to use the direct link or an invite. If Linda hasn’t answered below, I’ll send you a private message.

Actually, I hadn't even thought about it. We're in the desert, and most houses are tan, the color of the desert. Gets rather boring all being the same. Maybe I should think about it.
I've thought about it...not until the house needs painting. That won't be for a while.
Thank you, Carol and Linda it did - eventually.
The fire alarm in the hospital went off, just after I arrived.
I couldn't use the lift so had to hobble down two flights of stairs!
Good job there wasn't a real fire, I was holding everyone up, but they were very patient and kept an eye on me to make sure I didn't fall.
I have exercises to do to improve mobility of my foot they told me that with the plate in my leg they don't expect me to regain full mobility - not what I wanted to hear
But who knows? Determination can overcome a lot!
Thanks for the tip @JoesMum!
Oh dear. What an unlucky coincidence with the fire alarm.
We had an experience in Montreal one late evening when we had to go down from the 24th floor. We were almost at the lobby when it was all over. We thought, “Cool, at least we can take the elevator back up.” But no. Elevators don’t run for another 15-20 minutes, and it was past daughter’s bedtime, so we had to climb back up. I have to say I was hobbling too by the end of the climb.
Love your spirit regarding the prognosis. You’re a strong and active person, so if there’s any chance to beat the odds, you’re the one to do it.
Are you getting compensation and your bills covered?
* groan *
Makes me wonder how extreme your lessons must be! [emoji33]
Daughter’s class teacher has been off since January too, with a concussion.
( We miss her.
Looks womderful!
That’s a nuisance about the mobility. Does the plate impede movement.? I am sure one of our roomies in the USA is a physio, but I can’t remember who. They might be able to explainThank you, Carol and Linda it did - eventually.

[emoji33] More suggestions of this kind and we will definitely flush out the name Kathy’s boy might actually have in mind.
Paypal does it for you. Charges you in GBP for the correct amount in USD
Hi Can you message me on TFO @Reptilony with your real name please?
There has been a hiccup with the the FB group but hopefully it is back in action now. The group should be asking for your TFO posting name when you ask to join. So,ething seems to have gone awry with that process. I think I fixed it now.
