Shenanigans at the Riverhouse? #ottawa

Well, put in a solid effort today and did make substantial progress but we're definitely not completing this by the end of the day. Definitely a good, complex kit. Sometimes life gets in the way of doing fun stuff. Here's to next year, we're doing this again right? #BastilleBuild #HistScaleModels

The 1/35 Scale Meng French FT-17 First World War tank with tracks and skid installed. Waiting for the turret.

Missed something somewhere with the placement of the radiator and as a result the roof armour does not sit properly because the radiator won't let it. Oh well, we'll see what the French do to fix that. #BastilleBuild #HistScaleModels

Looking in the engine bay of the French FT-17 First World War tank. Note the gaps between the sides of the tank and the upper roof armour.

Passed by this memorial on my ride today and noticed the RCAF flag is both faded and ragged. Does anyone know who is the best entity to contact to have it replaced? City/311, CAF? Other? #Ottawa

And that's a wrap. Operation Heat Pump has successfully completed. Some inside ducting needs modifications but that #Moovair was chucking out the cold last night. We're ready for the next heatwave.

We almost have ac again.

On the hottest day of the year, so far, we drove to Home Depot and bought four bags of gravel, a back of limestone powder, and two big heavy slabs of concrete. We put all this heavy stuff into the back of our Honda Fit, took it home, and in the heat prepared a base for a heat pump. #crazy

A freshly laid base for a freshly purchased heat pump with three forlorn ac compressors in the background.

Deep breathe before we see more storm action.

Not a big deal, most drivers just blow through that intersection anyway.

A stop sign surrounded by foliage that's grown up around the sign.

Hauled our old, vandalized ac compressor and coil into the metal recycler and they gave us all this money. While we were unloading it from the Fit a friendly fellow came up and told us we'd make much more if we spent hours ripping the copper out of it. Thank you friendly man, maybe next time.

OMG, I think my ship may have come in, I just got this email.

There's the engine and transmission pretty much done for the #Meng #French #FT-17 tank. It is a lovely kit. #BastilleBuild #HistScaleModels

The engine of the French First World War FT-17 tank mounted on the bottom plate of the tank.

Back home from our trip and time is running out so I'd better get busy with #BastilleBuild #Histscalemodels My first #Meng kit and it looks great.

Can we cut it out with the stupid lock thing now? "Hey sweetie, I put a lock to signify our love on some random grate on some random street in Paris. Our love is real"
