This Cold House

Finally a sucessful project.  I put a new faucet in the downstairs bathroom tonight and it came out pretty good.  It makes the sink look much better compared to the old faucet.  I forgot to get some “before” pictures but it looked like something you would see in the bathroom of a 80 year old elementary school.  All that’s left in the downstairs bathroom is some paint!

Bottom line:  Don’t buy a house.  Unless you’ve got some actual reason to do so, i.e., having a family or something, just don’t do it.  It’s not worth your time.  It will consume you.  It will drain your wallet.  If you do feel the need to purchase (or I should say rent via property tax) real estate, get something new or close to new.  Don’t take someone elses box of DIY projects.  I’ve been in this house for a little over a month now and in this short time I have found some of the most bizarre shit.  Of course, I find it necessary to repair/rebuild everything simultaneously. Stop back and check my progress as I work on this hole.  This house will kill me.
