My Pretty House is for Sale
By cassandrajand I have very mixed emotions. On one hand, I very much want to move to the Midwest, to be closer to family and have lower bills, less traffic, and a slower lifestyle.
On the other hand, I love my house! I fixed it up with not much money but much love and consideration. I relish the compliments I get, because it makes me happy that I was able to decorate and paint and bring out the best in this well designed, well made house.
ah well... ch » READ MORE
hmmm...?
By eepy! So Wendi and i bought our first house in NC. We have a "dining room" that has hardwood floors and a 3 windoe set that looks out to the backyard.

I decided to hang them all on the wall in our bedroom for the time being - as a large-scale calendar and reminder of the painting-a-month project. Each canvas is 12" x 12", so after I figured out where I wanted to put the bottom left one, I measured in 15" i » READ MORE
Unless it's cracked or ugly: don't replace that old toilet, fix it!
By alexrussell
Just because your toilet runs a little doesn’t mean you need a new one. Of course, if it’s cracked or ugly, have at it. But if your water bill’s high and you’re sure the culprit is your toilet, more than likely it just needs some new mechanical parts inside, all of which are easy to install. Why pay a plumber a minimum $100 for something you can fix on your own for $20?
That is, if you have a simple toilet with a separate tank and bowl. No » READ MORE
