China painting for fun and profit Look at him. He seems like a happy-go-lucky kind of guy, never making your life particularly difficult, right? It's possible he doesn't get out much, but he doesn't look particularly evil riight off the bat.

A few years ago I inherited Grandma's kiln and china painting supplies. Now that I've got a little more time, I've been buying old books on how-to and I've been gearing up to start a new hobby. The issue is plugging the kiln into the wall. It's some crazy plug type and electrical requirements need more than what the regular plugs in the garage can handle. Austin's valiantly installing this thing, which has required adding a new breaker to our box and trying to push wires through the wall into the garage. I'm helping in other ways, after discovering (again) that electricity tickles like a porcupine.

Oh Bill Thompson, you are more devious than you seem. All I wanted to do was paint some sparrows and posies.
