Wonderful idea having a qt in the kitchen it came out great. Love the black sock story it sounds like something I would do

Thank you. It is pretty convenient to observe them.

Making socks black makes them easier to see?

Starting my sump improvements. I have starting watching the marketplace for a used sump, but I think I am going to be better off altering mine.
So I emptied the sump, begged my husband to move my old sump into place and modify the plumbing to fit.
Then I will add some baffles and sock holder with a proper lid. and probably one more black baffle to block light. pictures to come

I'm curious to see what changes you are making.

I'm also curious to know how you are feeling and if you had a good Thanksgiving? Any updates on the vertigo?

 

[Victoria M]

We had a great Thanksgiving, thank you.
The vertigo is still present everyday, but it seems to be little episodes of the world spinning for a little bit. It still sucks but it is so much better than it was.
I am planning to drop the water level, copy a more typical drain that flows into a small chamber then up over a weir and into socks. With a tight lid over that area to block splashing. My current sump is 48"L x 18"W x 20"H . So a great size

There is a local used skimz sump that I am eyeballing. But it is small. 36" x 15" x 15".

The sump is now traded to the old sump.

Also moved my frogspawn. Here is is ticked off.

I love your kitchen QT -- you are a brilliant woman. I'm trying to think of a way to talk my husband into it. I haven't even brought it up. We currently have our QT in the laundry room along with the catbox and her food dish. We could really use the room in there. We have a tiny corner in the kitchen that has a table too small to sit at that seems to be the location for mail, school papers, my purse and misc library books. It would be the perfect spot.

@Victoria M - I was shopping for my better half (also a nurse) and my daughter (in nursing school - so a nurse with training wheels) stockings. I came across this and thought of you right away. If you still have your list going or want to drop a hint that it would be cool - check out Brighton badge clips:

Hi Jerry, my old friend! I am doing better. I can function now most of the time. I am happy you dropped by to catch up. Do you ever go to the cottage in winter for snow mobiling?

Pink streaked wrasse, yellow wrasse, orange spot rabbit, lamarcks angel...any 2-3 of those would be great.
