We are facing our first Home Owner Challenge (well besides the crying wall)

March 3, 2010

Whew, this is one of the stresses that has been weighing on my mind for a week or so now. The upstairs bathroom has some, what appears to be, mold under the linoleum. It was located under the bathmat in front of the tub. We never would have thought to even LOOK there for it. [...]

"Why are the holes you just drilled in the wall crying?"

March 2, 2010

The answer? The holes were drilled into a drainage pipe, a toilet was flushed…and tears formed. Yes, we used a stud finder (I’ll spare you all the stud jokes that get told during the use of a stud finder). The pipe is actually pressed against the dry wall. They probably figured it didn’t matter because [...]

The List

February 22, 2010

I decided a while ago that I was going to post a list. One that I could reference back to on here. I love lists, more than that I love crossing things off of them. Sometimes when I do things that aren’t on my list of “to-do’s”–I’ll add it, just to cross it off. It [...]

Basement Bathroom

February 18, 2010

I haven’t got much to say about this bathroom. It’s fairly new, the current owners put it in. We like the look of it….the only thing we *may* change is the wall color. But all in all this bathroom is perfect for a basement bathroom. It’s perfect for when we’re doing things down stairs, it’s [...]

Mr. C’s Room

February 18, 2010

Yes, the room he’d like me to call his “man cave”, but I can’t bring myself to say it because I just feel silly. So I guess the name doesn’t matter…after all a rose by any other name……….. Currently this room is serving as the current owners oldest sons room. It’s directly off the garage, [...]
