Pet damage lawn

By | August 5, 2011

I think my dogs pee acid instead of urine!! LOL!!  Actually their pee is high in nitrogen which makes the green grass turn brown or bald.  In other words their pee burns the grass, that’s why I say they pee acid!   The front lawn of our house is very badly damage.  Our landlord came over to repair [...]

DB got super busy last weekend. The land lord brought over the shelving for our pantry on Friday. Remember how we stuff all the pantry boxes into the pantry when we first moved it?  Here’s a picture of it, the total mess of a pantry: We took everything out to a super bright, clean pantry. [...]

The cluttered garage

By | May 29, 2010

It sure looks like we are clutter freaks! I know I am. DB was not, see the word “was”? Yep, when I first moved to this country, living in his clutter free apartment, he was always picking up all the time. That aptment was really well organized and totally no clutter. But after I came [...]

Pictures of the inside (1)

By | May 27, 2010

Here are a few pictures of the inside of the house. Just to remind you, I didn’t pick up the house or put things away when I took these pictures…clutter galore! The entryway…..stairs facing the front door. I think according to fung shui, it’s not good. All the chi will flow right out the door! [...]

< Junk for Salvation Army >

By | May 18, 2010

Speaking of junk, we need to clean out the old house. Remember I mentioned earlier we are leaving whatever we don’t want in the house? Not anymore, every thing that we do not want or does not belong to the house (appliances) have to go. The bank has a realtor come by last week and [...]

The cooking range

By | May 17, 2010

OK I will post pictures of the house later. I want to talk about this first. This is a brand new stove.  Call me old fashion, I simply hate this modern, electric, flat glass surface stove top. There are so many DON’TS for using this stove. One of them is cannot use ceramic or glass [...]

< New buyer >

By | March 25, 2010

The deal with the previous buyer felled through. I don’t blame them I like I had mentioned before. I was not a bit disappointed. The house is already given back to the bank. Then less than five days, the realtor called and wanted to show the house to a very eager buyer. Woohoo…sounds good. The [...]

On Wednesday the guy DB arranged to come over to give us a quotation of how much it would cost to fix up the basement came over.  One look at the basement he said the carpeting including the padding needs to come off right away.  I forgot to ask how much the quote was.  That [...]

The wonderful basement

By | March 15, 2010

This was what our basement looked like on Saturday morning. It was soaking wet, squishy as in when you walk on it, it squishes. We had to remove all the boxes and stuff off the floor, moved them upstairs and dry them.  Then went to Sears and bought a dry/wet vac to suck the water [...]
