More like WTF???<br /><br />So yes... its gonna be a little crazy around here. Today I had a roof guy come over there he was with his ladder & up traipsing around on the roof. Even he said you know you have electrical issues..... yea yea.... that project gets done first.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-13646443302155965132011-02-07T06:15:25.106-08:002011-02-07T06:15:25.106-08:00Homeownership definitely has its downside. Yes, yo...Homeownership definitely has its downside. Yes, you're lucky to have a house, but you're also completely right to be frustrated by the repairs. It's a hassle and expensive and it makes us feel vulnerable to being taken.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-50887585078115358002011-02-06T23:40:11.174-08:002011-02-06T23:40:11.174-08:00And to think I spent all those hours with a mini c...And to think I spent all those hours with a mini crow bar pulling up hundreds of tacks & I could have just used moss killer?<br /><br />One look @ the bathroom carpet & it was *OUT* - had new vinyl flooring & sub flooring installed. <br /> <br /><br />The shag carpet was handy-- it became the tarp for painting!<br /><br />But all that stuff was on the priority list to be put out.Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-8639249874842548112011-02-06T21:03:21.148-08:002011-02-06T21:03:21.148-08:00avocado shag carpet ... in the bathrooms ... are y...avocado shag carpet ... in the bathrooms ... are you sure that's moss growing on the roof and not some mutant form of avocado carpet that somehow grew legs and shagged itself up to the roof ... after all it had already conquered wall to wall ... only way to keep expanding was UP !D.K.

I hope that does not erupt into an ulcer or some surgical procedure. <br /><br />Sure all this repair stuff is daunting & overwhelming. Life is expensive & truth of the matter is all that stuff would have to be done, regardless, if we needed to sell the place. <br /><br />For now I am just glad the roof is holding up & not leaking until we can get it replaced in the summer. Keeping my fingers crossed!Franhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14198689517878201943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3882537619389851611.post-84868097734397090352011-02-06T06:00:10.748-08:002011-02-06T06:00:10.748-08:00I understand exactly how you feel.

We need new windows in the upstairs bedrooms, we need the fireplace flue (sp?) cleaned and new rock put down in the drive, and we need for the septic people to come out this spring to clean that out as well. Never can save any money between the house and needy relatives. And selling this house for it's supposed value? Right, like that's going to happen!
