So I’ve got this broken, leaking garbage disposal…

20 Jul

AND I’m debating whether to spend the $75 to have someone fix it, or just open up my handy Reader’s Digest How to Fix Everything book and have at it myself – what do you think?

As an aside, the new disposal is just sitting there on the dining room table, begging me to open it…

Operation Move-In = SUCCESS!

20 Jul

OK, so I KNOW we haven’t posted over the weekend, but we’ve been busy with the move. Saturday was a LONG day, starting around 6:30AM and finishing late in the evening (with a much deserved bourbon on ice – Basil Hayden, if you must know). Sunday was similarly long, with trips to Costco, Target, and the Farmer’s Market, all designed to stock up the house.

In between, we found many new “projects” we’re going to have to work on, as well as a number of “fixes” that will need pretty quick attention (e.g. there appears to be a leak inside a wall, behind the shower – more on this later).

So I PROMISE a more lengthy post later today or tomorrow, which will include pictures from the move-in, and how the house looks now (generally disheveled, but livable – much like my grunge days).

In the meantime, I hope you’ll settle for these pics from Costco…Costco, you say? Yes – have you ever seen Costco right before it opens? I hadn’t…but apparently there is a daily melee that occurs just as the rolling entrance doors open up…

This is what Costco looks like JUST before it opens - something like the start of the Tour de France, only with shopping carts
