Home Improvement

Ewww, Mold... I hate mold!

As Ozzie Osbourne said we’re,  “goin off the rails on a crazy train.” The house project got a little more complicated today… As we were getting some painting done in an effort to get some carpet installed tomorrow, we found a neat little surprise. We knew there were some plumbing issues, but dang! This one brought the whole renovation effort to a halt. Frantic calls had to be made to stop the carpet guys from showing up in the morning. This is going to be fun. It looks like there’s been a pretty good leak for quite some time. Needless to say, a little drywall work is called for.

My friend Matt asked me today how home ownership was treating me. My reply, “Like a b _ _ _h.” (Insert expletive here.) Oh well, like I said, “Shocking, but not surprising.” Whoever lived here prior to us obviously had issues themselves. Remember that the walls aren’t the only thing the was growing Fungus. The carpet had some funk to it too. Not to mention the smell of “Pee” as mom put it. Anyhoo, just one more item on the list right guys?

Our new, non coin operated laundry center!

On a positive note, the new washer and dryer are awesome. As requested, here’s a pic of the appliances. I’m sorry I don’t have a pic of the fridge (which we loooooove by the way. and not in a wierd way. a normal healthy fridge love kind of way!!!) It’s an awesome upright side-by-side Kenmore job. Without even planning on it, all of our appliances are Kenmore by the way.

Abe, driving a cab is nothing compared to painting!

We also did some damage on the painting side of things. I mean “damage” in a good way. We were able to cover most of the ugly colors with primer. KILLZ Primer rocks by the way. And Abe and I were able to paint the master bedroom and most of the guest bedroom. No more Avocado and Coffee colors! Yay! A big thanks to Abe. Talk about cheap labor. The guy painted for like 5 hours straight and all he asked for was Carne Asada! How awsome is that? If you ever need a Taxi in San Diego, call USA CAB and ask for Colonial Cab #997!

Also, I know I promised that I’d have pictures of the outside of the house on day 2. Give me a break. I keep forgetting. Got a few things on my mind these days. I’ll remember one of these days. Besides, I don’t want all you crazies stalking us. Just kidding! Ooh, I almost forgot. Gil and Gary got some good patching done on the floor. Tony and Anna blitzed the Yard. Gil took out the stupid bushes which were only serving as spider nests anyways. And mom, was everywhere doing everything. Thanks guys! This wouldn’t be possible without y’all.
Anyhoo, the beer is about to put me to sleep so, I’ll sign off for tonight.
Peace y’all…
