  • Door dipping is when you have 100 years of paint stripped off your doors then you have pretty all wood doors. By this really nice guy.

  • It is SO TINY. Such a crazy change from the rental where you could fit a well-attended yoga class in every room.

  • We're doing a lot ourselves. We are scraping wallpaper, painting everything, we demo'd the garage. Julia and her dad moved windows around in the garage - we're finishing it as bedroom for her. So many projects! We want to take down that cabinet blo…

  • What's the new story YT?!

  • I could use some deodorant today as we are "living" (IE camping) at the new house where we have a door-less bathroom with fixtures that I need to reattach and haven't bathed since moving things last night. WHOOPS

  • Do not fret YT, that is also how we felt! I was so depressed to lose the "clown house", but now I'm so glad we don't have the clown house and have the lasaña lasagna house instead. IT WILL HAPPEN! But really, a clawfoot tub looking out a window ont…

  • ya, we're trying to convince Bobby and Kim to continue being our neighbors ;)
    in Home Ownership Comment by 000 May 2015
  • Well, our other "neighbor" is a spectrum-y person who doesn't actually own the house but claims he will after the short sale auction and is even doing yard work and has installed an alarm system on the house that IS NOT HIS. So, win some lose some. …

  • Salt works well if you use it before you become smelly.

  • We got keys tonight and met our new neighbor who is "Uncle Reo" AKA Snoop Dog's uncle. His daughter fights in the WWE. He was wearing a fine wale, brown, pinstriped corduroy track suit with matching loafers and invited me to play keys in his gospel …

  • We got that closing date moved up 3 weeks and now it's May 1. MAYDAY eep

  • Good luck out there YT! Foreclosures do seem so dark. We're buying a house with tenants who don't want to leave and even that feels sort of bad. They cornered me before the inspection and started reciting their tenant rights. So curious what the bu…

  • Flossy, I'll ask her. She sold Alex and Sasha their condo also. She's been a friend for about 10 years now and over the years I've learned how much work it is to be an agent, she works constantly. Nice to have a friend in the business though, cause …
  • I lost one too quickly and didn't allow myself another after that. So I just drink out of glasses at home and sometimes buy a bottle of water if I'm desperate. Good job in India flossy! Whoa! Our appraisal came in and it's all good! Just the loan f…
  • Cannot jinx it! It is a bungalow on 26th and Sumner with a detached garage. Our agent/friend brought it to us off the market, which took a lot of stress out of the process. It was so sad to make offers 26k over and then get blown out of the water. I…
  • The stream is Flossy's! DONE. Miranda - I don't like things out on the counters, so I always put it away after use. It's awkwardly sized/shaped and once it was away it just stayed away! Also, carbonation holds better in cold water, so you have to r…
  • Oh man. The rotating cast of devil children above us in the turret house has turned me off to condos for life. Pray jah it works out for you all. Some babies are chill. It's those 4 year-olds that freak me out wickedly. Random aside: does anyone wa…
  • Where in Mexico? We'll be in Sayulita Apr 14-22.

  • Imagine cleaning the spaghetti sauce splatters off of the gem wall behind your stove! I love that house.

  • I want a treat dispensing leash (little treats roll down the hollow tube of the leash to the dog's mouth) because my hands get too cold in the winter to do training walks. Kind of like a doggy Pez dispenser.

  • Yea, you gotta run fire drills with you pup! Teach them to stop drop and roll. I have 7 million other dog inventions.

  • I'll get right on it, for the pet lovers.
    in Phobias Comment by 000 March 2015
  • whoa! I'm always worried about the house burning down. I want to invent a dog/cat security door that is connected to the smoke alarm, if that's not already a thing.

  • Can we merge the home ownership thread with the phobias thread?
  • True that.
  • Ugh. We have been in loan approval limbo forever and it's so depressing to look at how few houses are for sale! Then every time I log into VRBO or Airbnb I get a cheerful email from another filthy rich family wanting to rent the unit so they can hou…
  • There are so many ways to leave this world, sad or peaceful or tragic or gruesome or light. Maybe it'd be good to work at finding peace with the knowledge that we might not have much influence over it. I can say I think I want some kind of presence …
