But the creepy crawly furry rodents in the ceiling .....
I'd have to move soon

Yes but $525/mo would pay the rent on my apartment... and I'd be able to ignore the rodent. :lol:

Mines built into the cabinet in the wash room, bet I haven't used it 3 times since I moved in, I keep forgetting its there :roll:

Makes a fine place to throw my garage clothes into though :ROTFL:

I love my laundry tub, haven't had one in over 20 years and use it for just about everything :pepper:

Getting central air installed towards the end of the month or the beginning of next, depending on how quick they get their o ther work done.
Hopefully the weather stays warmer now so I can get power washing done and then painting. My hideous paint color on the foundation is driving me really really nuts :shock:

I've gotten tons done since my last worthless post, I have no clue as to where to start telling ya'll what I've gotten done :twisted:

Almost got a ticket last night but our awesome rent a cop (ex-cop) informed the nazi I am and was on private property so he can take his cute little ticket book and shove it :ROTFL:

Freekin jerk waited for me to leave the property though and followed me just waiting for me to do something wrong. Dang Suzi just may get me in trouble yet :ROTFL:

By the way Tom, the flowers next to my deck are Crocus :goink:

I will not give up.
I will not give up.
I will not give up.

I want to give up.

But I will not give up.

My house has literally turned into an episode of "This Old House".

Maybe sometime in the next decade, it'll be ready.

Uh, so it sounds like the rodent is starting to chew and claw. Before all I heard was footsteps.

Yup, not giving up LOL

Guess it's true then, I am a rat! Sounds yummy! :jester:

17 hours later, including running around and I have 1, yes 1, door in ! :shock:

Ordered an exact size that was in there, pulled out the old p.o.s. patio sliding door, find the sill rotted and a craptastic sliding door install :banghead:

. Had to totally resize the opening 4" wider and 1 5/8" taller after rebuilding the sill with some treated lumber and a touch of overkill. BUT the awesome french door is in and built like a brick chit house never to go anywhere in my life time. Still need to make very minor final adjustments, caulk it, paint and trim out the interior but the hardest part is done. Now only 2 more to go then I have 6 glass block windows to do later this month when they show up. Once I get that stuff done I can move onto painting the exterior after I do some gutters :pepper:

Marlon_JBT · **Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:38 am

I wanna do glass block really bad!

Ted15 · **Posted:** Mon Apr 08, 2013 6:45 am

It's at my apartment. They know about the rodent. They just don't care. And I refuse to spend a dime more than rent, so...

Sounds like we should just throw Hart a few bucks to install them. Hopefully during the install, his carpal tunnel won't remind him that it's still there. :lol:

It's not really that bad to do especially with the new systems they have now. You can do it the old school way, block by block or give them the opening dimensions you have then they can make a glass block window ready to install that you just mortar in. Or you can go the more expensive route and buy the nail up kind. My basement windows are of a size they no longer make, so I went with giving them my dimensions (measure the opening to your block, brick or frame if 2x4 construction and go down to the next EVEN inch) and they are making me a drop in and mortar glass block system. Some will have vents the others are going to be solid block. I have never done the style I am installing but it shouldn't be that bad, just going to be a bugger installing a very heavy window assembly.

It just let's me know I am alive every day and have some sort of feelings! :shock:

Okay, we'll sadly PEX is going to be my friend here. These galvanized pipes are dead. I know why they moved now.. They knew this house needed all this work and said screw it, it's not worth the money so they sold it and moved to a newer home. There's tons of fuses in the basement so I KNOW they were blowing them left and right.

As of right now, I am sitting in what I believe to be the parents room. Why do I think so? There's an old chain lock on the door. There is a bigger bedroom but it had evidence of posters, so that was probably their daughter's. The other bedroom is painted blue... All the way and that includes the ceiling. (Who does that???)

Well, replumb. Rewire, add about 3 additional circuits and I will officially be done.

Oh and have Hart do my glass block windows. :lol:
