Explosion...almost.
So my new gas dryer that was purchased and delivered from a best appliance store was leaking gas today as I while I was running around the house all day using power tools. I called the gas company and they came out right away to confirm that it was indeed leaking and they fixed it. I called Best Buy and sales guy gave me $100 off my appliance purchases. Should I ask for more or just be content...
Attempt To Complete One Damn Room..or two
Today I am attempting to complete bathroom, bedroom and closet. This will include laying flooring, painting, replacing towel rods, some furniture placement and removing and resetting the toilet. So, far the closet floor is down, underlayment in the bathroom is on, toilet is off and it’s already 12:30! I wasted a good 15 minutes getting stuck between the toilet and bathtub while trying to...
Slowing Down Time
Anyone know how to make time stop flying by so fast? When I was younger I would sit around thinking the days would never end. Now I feel like I have 50,000 things to get done each day and never enough time.

I had no case to support the conclusion of self installation. I...
Tighter Than Bark On A Tree
It has come to this… after having three flooring estimates on my 1200 sqft home I have tapped into my inner home improvement goddess. Sure, this spiritual awakening was sparked by the fact that I am cheap and running out of money, but I feel it will be an empowering experience just the same. Like getting dressed for work in my garage. Now, when I say I’m “cheap” I...
First Night-Short Sale Purchase Complete
I clearly have lost all organizational skills that I may or may not have had at one point in life. Spent my first night in my new house alone…that I bought alone…that I alone am in a panic about ripping up carpet and repainting every surface in site. Ralph Lauren suede paint took all day yesterday leaving me with puffy hands and no energy to prep for really important stuff like lugging...
