In almost a month of being a homeowner, my wife and I have done the following.
Replaced:¬ Refridgerator, Range Hood, Garbage Disposal, 3 Light Fixtures and¬3 Sink Traps.
I have had to repair many other things.¬ And while I actually enjoy doing these sorts of things, it has really cut into time allowed for my business, and my freedom it seems.
The sad part is that we haven’t even started on the things we really wanted to change yet.¬ Don’t get me wrong, the house is very livable.¬ It just doesn’t have the “look” we want yet.
For instance, this weekend, I wanted to demo our garage and put up new coverings for the ceiling and 1 wall.¬ Well I can’t because the utility room is a disaster area.¬ I spent all night last night repairing the toilet flange.¬ Now the valve running to the toilet is leaking.¬ So when I leave work guess what I’ll be doing?
I guess it’s a good thing that I have a background in home repair, right?¬ We could be blowing thousands of dollars by calling contractors out to do a lot of this stuff.
It seems so weird, but I almost feel as if I’m living ROX 91 & 92.¬ If I only used my camcorders to actually tape stuff.
I’ve made my spheil, so until next time.
Ah, yes. What move-in is complete without some work on the toilet flange (and subsequent leak, which means more work on the toilet flange. Which means research into the pros and cons of wax verses no wax. Which leads into – well, I digress). We went through that in two bathrooms shortly after we moved into our place a couple of years ago. Luckily, my husband handeled it all and I didn’t have to touch any flanges.
