Thanks for Projects

I’m mostly off work this Thanksgiving week, and as is the tradition around these parts, most of the rest of the company is off, too. Either for real or “Working From Home”, as opposed to, say, “Living at Work”. But I digress…

This week is project week. I built a kitty escape hatch so the qat could hide from the dog. Said qat has a hidey spot behind the dryer which I knew about but gave little thought to, but after losing one too many socks behind the dryer I pulled it away from the wall to see what was going on back there. Amongst the lint and qat fur and orphaned socks the qat had squished the dryer vent tube down to about half its former size. This explains the sloooow dry times and very warm laundry room on washday.

So I fixed the dryer vent, vacuumed the fur and lint out, then built a little shelf with an escape hatch so qat could hop behind the dryer when the dog gave chase and not have to squish up my dryer vent again. She almost immediately put it to good use. Confused at first when she came around the corner of the washer, but with a dog on your tail you can’t be choosy. Zing — Safe!
