Havasu, the outdoor shower looks great! Ron, I'm happy Buddy found a new home but sad you sold your boat. Happy you got a new one and hope you can get it fixed up soon. I don't know much about boats. Everyone in the household has been feeling cruddy the last few days. The cats have been casting...

Ah. Thanks for that info, Snoonyb. I've decided I will remove the knob before I do the final coat of paint. Waiting for a dryer day when there is less humidity in the air. It's been raining so the air in my bathroom (which doesn't have an AC vent like Mom's bathroom does) is damp. I'm hoping...

Havasu, I really like the fencing you used as walls for the shower. Very nice! Spicoli, I feel you on the cats killing the modem. I had cats kill the modem with milk once. The modem was under my desk.The milk was on top of my desk. The cat knocked the milk off my desk, the glass bounced off my...

I keep misspelling it bc spellcheck says it is lauan, but apparently they are two different things but both are wood. There is some that is pale and not mahogany colored at all. Was thinking of trying to remove that doorknob and maybe do some painting today but its raining and my body is still...

I'm glad you were able to straighten things out with the realtors. I wonder how many people got screwed over by them. As an aside, I discovered that the tool I picked up for $25 at the local hardware store is called a Fatmax Fubar. LOL. Apparently the original one is harder to get now and it...

From the texture I'd say masonite. It doesn't have a wood grain. My bedroom door does have a wood grain so I'm guessing it's lauan.

Yeesh. Havasu, that sounds even worse than my deadbeat tenants who initially refused to move out and get their stuff out and then broke back in and busted the doorframe to come steal stuff after I changed the locks. Figured out they made copies of the keys and they'd been coming in and taking...

I can't find a picture of the full door before I painted it, but it's some kind of cheap veneer that was permanently stained. This is as much of a picture that I could find of it: I did really like the original color but the stains looked bad. This is after the 2nd coat of primer. Still chalky...

The guy who did the concrete at our house told me that if there was a dog or cat within 10 miles of freshly poured concrete, they would come step in it. Sounds like the sellers were jerks. Feel bad for the poor terrier. When we bought this place the previous owners left their pets behind without...

Havasu, the outdoor shower is looking good! Did I see dog pawprints in the concrete in front of the step stool? Friend ended up not being able to go because his wife was violently ill. Pregnancy is not being kind to her. I grabbed a couple of things from Samsclub. They had some CAT brand tie...

My mother is stubborn and she still has enough of her marbles to be legally competent. While she has deferred to me on some of her care, she's an adult and I can't make her do things against her will. I loaded the Dexcom app on my phone and it wouldn't work. Also, it has to be within 20ft and...

Mom is not easy to stick for IVs. A trained nurse in ICU had to try 5x to get an IV in. Also, I have a psychosomatic reaction to needles and veins. I literally get throbbing pains in my hands, arms, & legs even thinking about it. It's downright bizarre. Mom stayed up later than I did last...

I primed the door. Used a paintbrush and it doesn't look good. LOL. Friend says it looks like I rubbed chalk on the door. I'll use a roller for 2nd coat of primer.

I've been actively involved with Mom's care since she got home. Been making sure to get up early and if she's not awake before noon I wake her up to get her to eat breakfast. Lunch comes whenever she is hungry. Then dinner. I've been looking at her Dexcom to see what her sugar levels are. They...

Yeah, those nursing homes are atrocious. I've seen how they treat people and would not wish that on my worst enemy. She complains about how I take care of her but I treat her better than she'd be treated in a home. Especially with the attitude she pulled. She started to go full Karen mode on a...
