I didn't have to Imagine anything just had to look over my shoulder. The guy that lives here is a slob.
Imagine you moved into a house and your front hall was a big mess with coats never being put away because people were too lazy to open the closet, pull out a hanger, and hang up their coat properly. Instead, coats wound up draped over the chair by the door, or thrown over the small table that leads out into the hallway, or sometimes just cast off onto the floor. Same with the wife's purse, which gets left here there or anywhere instead of hung up on the hook on the back of the closet door, because that hook is already occupied by like 6 other coats.
How long do you think you'd muddle through, grinning and bearing that situation? What if you already had a strip of quality coathooks that mount on the wall, just sitting in your garage waiting to be installed? How long would you let this go on for?
Apparently for me the answer to that question is 8 months. Today I finally put an end to it and installed those dang hooks on the wall above the shoe rack.
Today I didn't go anything, and that didn't start until after lunch.
thawed out a water line took 3 hours .tomorrow going to fix it so it wont freeze again :hide:
Ugh! Those temperatures are horrible! I thought it getting down to 20 was bad! My brother-in-law introduced me to a phone app called "What the Forecast" which makes funny remarks about the weather in a certain area. Like "Bolfa! Bolfa deez nuts!" or "Balls! It's cold as balls!" You can adjust the profanity level of the messages so you can get major cussing or mild words.Basically the same thing happened to us. went thru a week of low temps of between -12 to -18 every thing was fine then it warmed up to+6 came home from a doctors appointment and the bath tub and ice maker water dispenser were froze up. we have one of those faucets that if 1 water supply doesn't work the whole faucet doesn't so i had no idea if it the cold or hot was frozen .our water lines are in the ceiling so since i cant climb up there any more had to Waite until my son got off work to climb up there and uncover the water lines from about 2 feet of blown in insulation and take a hair dryer and go along each line.took him about 30 minutes turned out to be the cold line . as for the ice maker its in an out side wall behind the cabinets have no idea where its frozen turned the main valve to the line off and will have to wait until another day hopefully warmer and hopefully it doesn't burst.
That's a bummer. I hope they will call you back and that you won't have to wait months. At least you got positive feedback though.After four interviews, a lot of positive feedback and "when not if" type language from the people interviewing me, I was expecting an exciting job offer this week. Instead today I found out they decided to pass on me, and they gave an explanation I don't really understand. They said they still really like me and I'm a top contender for the right project when it comes along (and I like them even more because they're obviously very picky about who they hire), but I'm still kinda bummed out.
Nothing lost since I still have my current job, I'm just not thrilled with it and I had already sort of mentally "moved on." Cleared out my desk before I left for Christmas break and everything, expecting to be putting in my 2 weeks around this time. Now I've gotta bring all that crap back and re-acclimate to the idea that I'll be working there at least a few more months.
Grr. Phooey.
LOL. Sounds like my house bc the hall tree (I'll have to get a pic of it one day when it isn't so covered) is all covered. We have a large coat closet, but often times things get put in front of the door and we can't open it. People in my household are lazy so we leave things lying around.Imagine you moved into a house and your front hall was a big mess with coats never being put away because people were too lazy to open the closet, pull out a hanger, and hang up their coat properly.

Yikes! I hope the antibiotics work and that you'll recover quickly. All the cold/flu crap sucks.Took antibiotics for something "that may evolve into pneumonia." And MucinexDM, OTC.
Thanks for asking. . .
and you are doing a good job of it.
Excellent! I'd love to see the finished paint job when you're done.I've been very verrrrrry slowly painting my master bathroom, which is the size of a closet but is taking longer than the Sistine Chapel. That's what happens when you fit it in around work and family I guess, and maybe when you blow a bunch of time on the internet too.
You might recall months ago I said I had finally finished rolling the walls. Tomorrow I should be able to put on the last layer of brushwork on them! (Or, in the corners/along the edges of them and around the outlets I guess.)
Feels like I got a lot done today, even though it was all normal everyday stuff like swapping out laundry loads, taking out the recycling, scanning some documents I'd been procrastinating on...plus I picked the kids up from their daycares and cooked and fed them dinner all by myself, AND the house was basically neat and tidy (even the dining room!) by the time my wife got home.
