Private Entryway

Hello again my fateful followers! Welcome to another Thor's Day Post!

I was a busy weekend last for my Caretaker, Food. He finally got off his lazy butt and install my own private entryway - separate from the servants. 

While its nice to be waited on and have doors opened before you, occasionally carried about and such, sometimes one cannot wait when nature calls. My Caretakers have found this out the hard way on more than one occasion. 

And so, over the course of a 6 grueling hour period Saturday, Food successfully modified an outside wall and installed my personal access panel.

OMG - An outlet not tied to a wall joist!!
Two hours into the work and all Food has to show for it is hole (not even all the way through) and a big mess. Sigh. He is good, but not fast by any stretch. Love did call multiple times to ensure Food was not twitching on the floor, one hand on a hot wire and the other failing about like a beached fish. Thankfully, that was never the case. After all, without Food, what is there to eat?


Daylight to my Bagua deck of Meditation
One hour later and Food had successfully made it all the way through to the other side. He was rather proud. However I heard words that I'm not sure even a sailor would repeat!

Luckly it was a rather nice day, overcast and a little cool. But the rain held off and the wind was down to a light breeze.


I sit in protest!
Four hours into this and I am loosing patience. The instructions quote and hour or two. I know Food likes to be thorough and methodical, but this really getting old.

I decide its time to sit in protest at this agonizing wait! While dragging my doghouse around and turning it over a few times failed to gain a response from Food, sitting on its crumpled hull did at least generate promises of "I'm almost done!" and "Soon! I promise!"

Food felt like I had to be tethered away from the work. He did not appreciate my constant inspection of his tools, work and methods. Hey, its my door! I should be able to ensure the work is done correctly!


My careful post-production inspection

Finally, 6 full hours later, Food is complete with the installation and I am free to inspect!

You might be wondering while such a diminutive (yet powerful) canine as myself needs such a large door.

My Ego.

Actually, I plan on entertaining many guests, some of which are larger (but not as powerful) as I. So I wish to ensure they all feel comfortable and welcome in my humble abode.


The final touch and operational inspection
Food also built be a platform step out on the deck so that I would have an effortless time with the outside access.

Aside from a coat of paint needed inside and out, to match the corresponding decors, Food did a really fine job. I have used it multiple times already and it works very well (with its double-doors) keeping the weather outside outside.

Until our next encounter, enjoy your days and cherish each moment as it passes.
