Got super into gutting my room, and then, just as everything is chaotically spread all over every occupiable surface I instantly lose any desire to continue. I'm eepy and full of regret, but so is my bed.

After a 3 week hiatus our DnD group resumes the adventure tonight. Rather excited despite forgetting what my lil Kobold artificer was up to, time to brush up on the session notes.

Finally finished the stand mixer! From stripping to blasting to painting. Need to figure out the plastic though as it kinda looks a bit naff next to the fresh paint. Still, works a treat - already made muffins and some marinade with it :D

Body of stand mixer, most of the paint stripped from it but still needing some work.Sand blasted body of the stand mixer, ready to accept primer, base coat and clear coat.Primed body of the stand mixer using an etch primer. Ready for more paint.The finished project, body fully painted and reassembled though the plastic parts look a bit bleached.

So, discovered today the new tenant in the office block above us is a music teacher running a studio. Let's count how many times I hear the bass riff to Seven Nation Army. So far twice

The letter of today is R. R for REEEEE. No one specced the job as working at height. Jokes on them though, electrician never installed power sockets and one of the feeds is dead. Did it anyway.

Networking cabinet mounted high on the wall next to pallet racking so access is awkward. Though dragon did it, two switches are mounted.

Tonight on the healing bench - motor and electronics assembly for an early 90s Kenwood Chef mixer. Couple of filter caps to replace so might as well do the thyristor and upgrade the resistor with a higher wattage one. Motor needs stripped and cleaned too. Then the rest of it...

A small electric appliance motor with associated cabling leading to control board lays strewn across a dragons desk.
