Right now have a couple (or more) things that really need to be done...such as fixing the roof overhang for the back stoop...the (non-licensed) painter screwed up a repair job on same, and replacing the wood(?) flooring in living room/kitchen area with tile. My rationale is why not just wait till it's time to sell the house and then I don't have to go through all the crap :)Yaya Snapshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00724937709679874631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-707905430035591772016-09-22T13:58:08.336-04:002016-09-22T13:58:08.336-04:00I'm a watcher.

I hope you get a cleanup (water and mold) estimate also before you put in a claim with your insurance. Water damage takes a while sometimes to show up. <br />Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-18644248974346728762016-09-22T13:04:20.239-04:002016-09-22T13:04:20.239-04:00Good grief!

Our well excitement was the hose by bil ran to carry water to an outdoor faucet--thirty years ago. It broke overnight, in the midst of my bathroom renovation, we woke to no water. Pump guys, well guys, plumber guys all looking for the problem. My sister went into the garage to get her car and go, and the water was running out to the street as fast as the poor well could pump it up.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-23861716229842105042016-09-22T05:47:32.898-04:002016-09-22T05:47:32.898-04:00Excitement!
