Our 
Our 1920s bungalow has seen many changes over the past 37 years we have owned it. When we moved in in 1972 it had been used for student housing and reflected the rebelious decoration of youth. The single bathroom had been painted a hot tropical pink and one of the bedrooms looked almost tie-dyed with yellow and navy blue. The yard had been used for a parking area and there were blackberries growing wild in the back. The basement was unfinished and wide open with no barriers around the sump pump.
Since that time we have put in addition and two more bathrooms, enclosed the front porch to create a formal entry, finished the basement by compartmenting it for use as a family room (including a soda fountain), furnace room, laundry, sewing room, and sump pump closet. A deck has also been added that can be accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom. Our garden is extensive and reflects Richard's love of plants.
But our old house is in need of renovations. This morning (7:30) a man from church stopped by to get some measurments for adding a dressing room/walk in closet and handicap access to our master bath. Our bath also needs to be remodeled. We will see. Money is definately an issue.
It seems that all homes need constant care. The Forbes working on insulation for their cistern. We need to fix our tub faucet and now a plastic part broke in our refrigerator, and our car needs a new right hand turning signal light.
ReplyDeleteYou can have a new home and it might have less problems but you will still have to fix something.
Hope you will be able to work things out in your bathroom.
