Hey Fab Bats! You screamed for it, so here it is. The tall tower my mad scientist dad and I live in is freezing over this time of year (He can make an artificially intelligent breakfast machine, but not a functional heater. Go figureâŚ). Iâve been mostly busy sewing patches burritoed in a blanket by the oven. But, itâs time to get up and re-deco. The pipes need some distressing and spiderwebs are clearly lacking. Donât dust that mantle! Letâs try a couple of these up-the-sleeve tricks for a cursed condoâŚ
