I know it can be done, just don't know how. The barn I boarded my horses at as a teen had a large garage door that had a wooden door in it that was broken i guess you would say in the places it would bend when the door was open... In the winter the garage door stayed closed but we entered...

Nice!! ill have to try that!!! Thank you.

Just because I'm woman enough to admit when I am wrong. Hubby was right i was wrong, it was a lever type stopper and in order to replace that I'm gonna have to go hardcore on the tub. we have to replace the cartrages in it as well so for now we got a rubber stopper that will work. we also...

We are getting more and more settled in.. Still don't have the hot water situation fixed yet but it should be done tomorrow morning!! Anyway we have a large whirlpool 2 person soaker tub with jets. The stopper for the drain is missing though. I'm assuming its a lift and turn stopper and the...

Thanks, I'll deff have someone out to check it before i put time and money into re doing the floors def don't want to waste it just to re do it. We did have the house inspected and structurally it is sound. There were small cracks that we need to re seal that the inspector pointed out from...

Okay, so we are in the house!!! Its been a pain in the butt, and I still have yet to take a hot shower. ( thats for another thread in short we need a new water heater). Anyway we come in to find it wasn't just cracked tiles in that amazing master bath. Half of it is an addition and what...

Honestly I don't even know what we would use the room for, It could be a 4th bedroom if we decide later down the road to have another child so enclosing it fully would be ideal for that. I also like the idea of it having a separate entrances for like a guest room situation. If my husband had...

Figured it may help if i added a photo of the home.. Sorry for the tree semi blocking the doors. This is a photo from the homes listing as anyone who read my intro knows I'm probably a bit off in the head and bough the house with out physically seeing or being in it first. ( I'm the master...

Right now Bath Crashers, when the minions are not sleeping its all PBS,Nick JR,Disney all the time.... mommy here is very very excited to get a 2nd tv sometime in the near future.

Okay, so we close on the house on friday!!!! Anyway the garage was finished off when the additions to the home were done. The previous owners put french doors in the front of the garage. I like french doors, I think they are very pretty but I don't like them as exterior doors on the front...

Thanks everyone!! I'm so excited I would love to move the closing date up, but with it being so close to christmas and having two little people to think about we will wait till after the new year. The first few days in the home are going to really suck it will be more like camping then being...

Well we got the place I most recently posted about!! The bank that owns it had given me a sheet with a work estimate. It came up to about 12k in work including materals and labor. I spoke with my Inspector before he went out and gave him the name of the guy who did the estimate. He informed...

I love it because it has potential to over time become perfect. I by no means feel as though I'm rushing. Like I said I have been watching the market for almost a year. I have in all honesty over the past year found about 40 homes that I liked enough to look further into. Such as past sale...

Well the search continues. The home I offered on had some issues. Upon inspection water damage and mold was found, the roof needed to be replaced, outlets were not properly grounded, AC unit needed to be leveled, missing attic insulation, exhaust fans in the attic didn't work and there was...

So I kind of want to paint the cabinets black and get stainless appliances. I'm not a fan of white and stainless it's just not dramatic enough for me. If we don't paint I would most likely go with black appliances. I really want to do some sort of a stone or earth tone backsplash at some...
