Neverending Battle of Home Improvements II
Earlier this year we discovered that we needed to replace our basement windows. Not only would new windows keep out critters, they would also keep out the cold weather. After a few bids and some miscommunication, we finally got our windows installed these last 2 days. We won’t know until the weather drops below 30 again, but it already seems like actual sealed windows are making a difference in the basement.
The next project in this battle is the upstairs bathroom. Worst case scenario, we end up completely ripping out the bathroom to the studs and put in a new shower, toilet and sink.
The main priority is to find and stop whatever is leaking from the tub all the way to the basement.
Tomorrow we get to find out a rough estimate on how much this endeavor may cost us. I’m seeing a flat screen tv and a new laptop being turned into a new bathroom.
bummer.
If you're...
tearing the bathroom down to the studs – you’d be lucky to get off with just a widescreen TV and a laptop.
I’m thinking you’d need to throw in a new fridge or two.
Seriously, I feel your pain. Our house keeps pointing out the things we should have done instead of blowing everything on the kitchen. (Roof? windows? Hello…)
Look at it this way, you’re doing your part to shore up our hellbound economy.
You FINE American, you!!!
