What goes begging around the house now that you live sans SO?
Comments (18)I have some old track lighting there now and replacing it may be the best solution. I think removing it may leave some ugly marks requiring new drywall. So far I have decided to ignore it for now. The to-do list is pretty long. I have a dishwasher sitting in my breakfast room that I want to try to install myself. And I need to go get a new garbage disposal. When it rains it pours! I can hire this stuff done, but I like the sense of accomplishment I get from doing some of the stuff myself. I have also replaced the fan motor in my refrigerator and repaired my drier. I tackle what I feel is do-able and call someone for the rest. I have decided that I am not qualified to tackle electrical jobs beyond light fixture and switch replacement! I once shorted out 3 rooms replacing the switch to my track lights. After I called the electrician, he determined that the wiring was all screwed up by whoever installed the track lights and was actually a hazard. That and the power was supplied to the track lights with an extension cord plugged into the attic fan which has an outlet in it. NOT code! I installed the vinyl floor in my family room but I don't ever want to do that again! What a chore. I grew up thinking all men were like the men in family, could fix anything with duct tape, baling wire, and WD40. I was wrong! I married a cerebral man with zero interest in home maintenace and no aptitude for it. As a result, I learned to do things myself. Garbage was HIS only job! He also cleaned the rain gutters once a year. I once asked him to do something to do with the pool equipment which had a large flowering vine growing around the enclosure. He need to trim it back and mentioned it to me, I said fine in a distracted way. Later he came in and told me he might have made a mistake. I went out to find it was cut to the ground! Sigh....See MoreFun stuff!
Comments (15)Fun stuff indeed. I love the Hitchcock chairs. DD and I both are obsessed with chairs and there is no shortage of them in either of our homes. I would certainly find room for two as beautiful as yours. The dresser looks great with the blue. I love the color combination. You are so talented to undertake a mural on your wall. I love them but am not talented enough to even begin such an immense project. I can't wait to see it completed!...See MoreUpdated kitchen photos with fun stuff (picture heavy)
Comments (21)ICF I am so sorry to hear that. As a matter of fact I was not given good treatment at our local ER...sigh. I was sent home and they actually told my DH that I didn't have a concussion ! I had been out cold ! I was sent home with a face that looked like a partially peeled eggplant. My lower lip was ripped inside and they ignored it even though I kept crying and saying my mouth hurt. Needless to say I was admitted 2 days later with a severe infection and temps 104. 3 day hospital stay and my wonderful surgeon was furious with the ER. Unfortunately my mouth couldn't be repaired as too much time had gone by. I was just lucky that my brain injury healed itself as no one took me seriously on that score. Our medical communities bear a lot of responsibility for the poor recovery of some patients. I am sorry that you didn't get a great outcome but I am so glad for you that you have a fantastically supportive family. c...See MoreI've Been Shopping! More Fun Stuff for DD's New Apartment
Comments (13)She purchased her side tables from Target online a few years ago. They were originally sage green, but we spray painted them aqua to work better with her bedroom furniture at the house she's been renting with 3 of her sorority sisters these past few years. Here's a better pic of them. They actually ended up holding her tv there. I'm going to redo the hardware in oil rubbed bronze....See MoreVaporvac Z6-OhioRiverValley
