Go, capri!

Thank you, Empress NIK! Even better, I finished the job, it's all together and working just like it ought to!

For anyone who hasn't discovered it yet, youtube has videos on home repair projects. I watched a couple, and the whole job went perfectly smoothly!

Nice one! And no leaks, that's awesome!

YouTube is always my first port of call if I'm not sure how to do anything.

The guy and girls are 2 hours away!

Got to go do some last minute bits and bobs shopping.

By the end of the day this place is going to stink of gloss!

God only knows how we're going to be able to sleep in all those fumes!!

Shame it's bucketing down with rain, REALLY need a fire to get rid of all this junk!

WTG Capri!

Forever - Hope you and your mates are shredding that To Do list! Looking forward to reading your update on how much progress you were able to make (not to mention how much fun you had ).

Thank you.

Looks like my next job is to figure out why my refrigerator is producing excess moisture. Any ideas?

Inside or out?

Inside. I keep finding dampness along the inside walls and in the fruit and vegetable and meat drawers.

Capri - check your door seal. You may have air getting in somewhere. Hope that helps.

Thank you! I left DS15 the job of researching what it might be, while I'm at work. I'll send him a message. Forgive a possibly stupid question, but how do I check it? What am I looking for to see if there's a leak?

Cracking weekend. So much stuff done its unbelievable

Will update with what we completed but I'm having an early night now and am all dreamy following my extremely good night last night

IWS - how did your open house go?

A bust: 2 neighbors, 2 looky loos not interested in buying and one agent whose buyer liked it, but might bring his wife back at the end of the month.

Last 3 feedbacks: too many trees and brace yourself...too many points of entry. This huge house has 6 doors. Guess security systems and dogs aren't enough.

Seriously? Too many points of entry? What a crock, IWS. Are you still considering changing agents?

Forever - we're still waiting for your update. Whenever you come back down to Earth.

Inspection is scheduled for Wednesday. Fingers crossed for nothing expensive to crop up.

So...

Things we did on the weekend included.......

Primed and glossed all the upstairs skirting boards

Glossed 3 of the 4 doors upstairs.

Fitted all the door stops to the new door frames.

Door frames primed and glossed

Fitted architrave around loft hatch

Fitted last pieces of coving in the kitchen

Finished off all te electrics in the kitchen

Connected up the electric element in the towel rail in the bathroom

Fitted the shower valve properly

Fitted shower riser and head

Fitted architraving and door stops to downstairs door frames

Paint stripped and filled downstairs door frames

Took down axed through door in kitchen

Fitted last of the ceiling roses upstairs

Sanded and re-glossed upstairs banisters

Burnt axed through door, wedding table planner and other crap on a massive fire

Drank bucket loads, had some good pizza

Snogged the face off lush Irish girl

Got number off lush Irish girl

And I think there's another thread here that covers the rest of that subject

There was probably more stuff that I missed but I'm a bit googlie in the head right now for some reason

HOLY CRAP foreverempty! that is a kick ass list of accomplishments!!!

Incredible list foreverempty!!! And I was so happy to hear about the snogging...

Thanks

It was a very busy weekend!

With the most unexpected of outcomes

Dang, forever! Best. Weekend. Yet.

Can't. Stop. Smiling!

Just got a message from my realtor. The inspection was Wednesday. And the buyers have only asked for one thing - to fix a loose piece of siding on the back of the house.

That's IT. I was certain they would ask for allowances for the counters and carpets, which are showing age, and maybe even for the wood floors to be refinished.

But no! Just a loose piece of siding.

AND even more good news - there is a rental house just outside of town, good sized, recently updated, and right in my budget. For months it has sat empty because the owner refused to accept pets. Just this week, they changed their minds and said they would consider pets with a letter of reference from someone who is familiar with the animal and it's behavior.

So I have a showing tomorrow to see if it will work for us. If it does, I'm jumping on it.

Wow NIK that's awesome news on both counts.... Let's hope the good luck continues for you!
