Yes, I know it's been awhile. It hasn't been too exciting around here. Joe and I have now made it almost three entire weekends without visiting Home Depot, but for some reason I think our luck is running out. The house is now feeling more like a home, there's mini-blinds and curtains on the windows, boxes only in the corner of the kitchen and all dishes are put away. The cats are becoming more curious. They have ventured into the basement (much to my disdain) and have found a new kitty friend that likes to hang around our basement windows. Joe and I have argued about having the cats in the basement on and off for the last few weeks, I believe I am losing that battle .
The bathroom has only a few minor problems. Well at least now they are minor. A few weeks ago we had a pretty major problem that involved feces, a 100 foot snake and a clean basement. Here's the story... Joe insisted on buying this beautiful great toilet for the downstairs bathroom (I really had no opinion) and it was working great for about a month when all of a sudden the toilet refused to flush. We tried everything from letting it settle, plunging it, to pouring water down to force it. Nothing worked. Joe went out and bought a six foot snake and...nope... no flushing. And of course it wasn't just urine in the toilet, there had to be poop. Yes-sir-re, poop. (I was just glad it was not my poop, that would have scarred me from pooping for a long, long time) So Joe and his uncle had to get a hundred foot snake and work it out all the way into the street. There must have been twenty years of other peoples feces in the poop shoot (and on our basement floor...don't worry, it's been bleached). Well, we now have a working toilet that flushes (every time).
Another nice update is that all the trash was removed from our front yard! Yay!
