Home ownership, day 18; the story so far (in vaguely chronological order)...
Had refrigerator and washer / dryer delivered. Sears outlet1 is awesome.
http://tinyurl.com/cd5mow = 900 bucks!
While trying to hook up clothes washer, discovered that the old hot hose was seized up onto the valve.
Cut the copper above the valve and installed new one.
Installed new thermostat.
Primered the basement and main level with *huge* help from GerAmyMo. Painted the living room2 and kitchen3.
Water heater blew an element. By blew, I mean it actually expelled itself from the unit. In an elegant bit of serendipity, I bought a shop-vac that morning on a whim.
Installed new elements and thermostats on water heater.
Main sewage line from house stopped up and dumped (thank god) only clothes washer and shower water.
Vacuumed up sudsy water for a few hours. Had plumber snake sewage line. I can fix a lot of things, but some shit4 you leave to the professionals.
Installed 2 ceiling light fixtures.
Tonight's experiment: Can I install a new single gang outlet and a garbage disposal? stay tuned!
Also putting a new faucet in, but that I've actually done before.
