Well it's time for a tally of what I've spent on this Remodel.  This isn't an easy thing to do.  I have been buying the parts over a span of probably 8 years.  I bought the Sink around 2008 or 2009.  I really don't remember.  What I do remember is the cost - $60.  The Toilet was purchased this June for around $40.  The Light Fixture was about 5 ( Read more... )

I used to spend my New Years Eve watching Musicals all night and working on a Jigsaw Puzzle.  When did it turn into New Reno's Eve!?  I bought the flooring Yesterday.  4 boxes at $20 a box.  It's pretty cool stuff and they were closing out the color at 67 cents a tile.  What a DEAL!  I was able to redo the flooring in the EntryWay - Laundry Room - ( Read more... )

Well, between Yesterday and today I was able to get quite a bit done.  The Sink mounted to the wall.  The plumbing all connected.  The Mirror Hung.  My finger smashed... And my nails done.  Here's the pictures all except my nails.  I was going to leave the floor like this until I installed tile... but I'm kind of tired of partial projects all over ( Read more... )

OK.  So the last thing I updated for you was the Hole got patched.  Well, that was Sunday night.  Monday, I sanded it down and put an additional coat of Joint Compound on the walls.  Tuesday, I came home from work and did the same thing.  Only I hoped this would be the last coat.  Wednesday I got up and sanded down the walls.  To tell you the truth ( Read more... )

This bathroom is otherwise known as the "Dog's" Bathroom.  It is the full bathroom on the bottom floor of the house and has the Laundry room in it as well.  It is very cramped and could use some opening up.  This bathroom is connected to the Garage entry Foyer.  You know, the one that has the nastiest carpet... the Carpet that Foster tore up by ( Read more... )

Well, Not all of them.  But the most important one to me was the headliner.  It soooo needed to be done.  And I didn't want to pay $250 for someone else to do it when i know I should be able to do it myself.  So for quite some time I have been watching videos on the YouTube.  I searched Amazon for the materials and tools I would need and had them ( Read more... )

Today Foster lost his battle with the Spindle Cell Sarcoma.  After nearly 2 years of surgeries (5) and the last 6 months of spoon-fed soft food, 11 pills per day and periodic IV Fluids... He is now at peace.  He was still happy and joyful, wagging his tail and greeting everyone he saw till the very end.  I love you little boy.  You made me laugh ( Read more... )

So I pick up the car as they are closing.  Randy says don't pay until I've driven it.  No.  I just want to get this over.  So I drive the car on the highway... It isn't fixed.  It's still shaking.  No eFFing way.  I just want to move on to the next Jeep project.  The Headliner.  I'm also tired of putting Rose out.  She's been so awesome every - ( Read more... )

So I just got the Estimate for getting Otie Repaired.  The Front End Shuddering...$750.  The drive Shaft needs to be replaced.  They said it would be faster and cost about the same to repair it, so replacing the whole thing will ensure it should go for another 100,000 miles.  I've got nearly 250K miles on Otie so as much as I hate it, This needs to ( Read more... )
