The building where my second job doing kennel work takes place is, shall we say, unusual. Bits and pieces have been added on over the years seemingly at random. Therefore, there are leaks. Monday evening I was asked to move a set of cat condos because the water running down the wall behind them was getting into them. When I had moved them, we found that catching the drip was a bit difficult, because it ran down the wall and then dropped to the window sill, where it splashed and splattered. Putting a pan at floor level did nothing to collect the water.
So my co-worker's ingenuity was tested. He collected a bird-cage stand, a food bowl, a flower pot hanger, and an upturned litter box to prop the stand against the wall. I added the towels in case of overflow.
A closer look at the pot:
And three seconds of live action, with local background music:
It made me proud to be human. Rube Goldberg's got nothing on us.
Very clever solution!
ReplyDeleteLove the clever idea! And hey congratulations--it appears your blog is getting popular enough to attract spam comments! (Oh wait, should you decide to delete the bird cage thing, it might look like I'm dissing Bag Lady, who is definitely NOT a spammer.)
ReplyDeleteI was proud that the very first comment was spam; such a busy spammer, though probably not in a nearby time zone. And Bag Lady is certainly not spam, but purest ham, such as will soon be occupying her freezer.
ReplyDeleteI must get one of those stats programs you have that shows the search terms people use.
