Shoestring Theory » fire http://shoestringtheory.com Currently documenting the house that is eating our lives, we will return to regularly scheduled programming in a couple of more months Sat, 05 Jun 2010 00:10:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 en hourly 1 A photo essay on the death of an American kitchen table http://shoestringtheory.com/2009/08/03/a-photo-essay-on-the-death-of-an-american-kitchen-table/ http://shoestringtheory.com/2009/08/03/a-photo-essay-on-the-death-of-an-american-kitchen-table/#comments Mon, 03 Aug 2009 23:24:51 +0000 thetheorist http://shoestringtheory.com/?p=444 Update: Okay, so there has been some confusion about the origin of this table. It isn’t our nice kitchen table, it’s the table that was abandoned by the previous owners. It was all ready in bad shape, and we furthered its demise by using it as a workbench and tool holder during the remodel. It got burned as 1) it wasn’t fit for use anymore and 2) it was a kind of cleansing ritual to move from the remodel period to the finished project period.

Original post follows:

Oh kitchen table
Faithful servant, held our tools
We repay with fire

Everybody put your hands in the air and wave them around like you’re not on fire!

The warning labels on my new water heater just cracked me up. Whoever has to make these must just love their job.

More to come on the new water heater later, that post will just take longer to put together.
