The Money Pit: January 2007
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2007_01_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Wednesday, January 31, 2007. So that stove that's "almost ready to go.". The stove itself is okay- need to replace the gasket on the double doors in front, but otherwise it's great. There is, however, a problem. Fine No smoke anywhere. Went back down and put another log on and congratulated myself (prematurely). Second trip up? Adam's office looked hazy, and the bedroom was downright smoke-filled. Damn. Thursday, January 25, 2007. So yeste...

The Money Pit: June 2006
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Tuesday, June 27, 2006. Back in the saddle again. Now that I've got Gene Autry's voice in my head, it's time to get back to business. I was out of commission for a while, first freaking out about and then attending a certain festival in the north country. Now I'm back with my dirty, incomplete, leaking, beloved project. Nothing like love to blind you to the truth. Lol. Wednesday, June 07, 2006. Drywalled, primed, not yet painted. Plan ...

The Money Pit: March 2007
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Monday, March 26, 2007. Winter is dead; long live Winter. This morning, it's the windows that are on my mind. We have beautiful, drafty, poorly maintained wavy glass windows, with some terrible, aluminum, barely-worth-having exterior storm windows that are in desperate need of replacement. Now that the cats are attacking our window plastic with impunity ("Hell, it's almost 40 degrees outside- who cares? Chunks. This article. I assume that'...

The Money Pit: BRRRR!!!!
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2008/12/brrrr.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Sunday, December 21, 2008. I'm not sure what to say about 20 inches of snow. Mainly, I'm sorry that the camera is temporarily out of commission because this is amazing- it's like opening your front door to a Santa display at the mall. This snow actually sparkles, and it's falling in huge chunks, the way snow does in the movies, but never *ever* does in real life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). What do you think of coal heat?

The Money Pit: October 2006
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Sunday, October 01, 2006. I have excuses, but they bore me. Lol. So, here are a couple of pictures to prove that progress has actually occurred over the last few months. Very professional, huh? Meet at right angles.) So, as the first step in making a nice, warm room for the baby and her parents, we ripped out most of the hallway, bringing a third window into the room and widening it by a good four feet. Post-demo, -furring, -wiring, -insul...

The Money Pit: December 2006
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2006_12_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Monday, December 18, 2006. I was about to call this "Agnostics Do Christmas" and apologize for the lack of porn-style alliteration, but all the sudden inspiration struck. If you want to call it that. My only complaint is that I don't have a picture of the angel on top; she wouldn't fit right-side up, so it looks like we're depicting Satan's fall. Which is perfect. Monday, December 11, 2006. What we've been up to. But, more importantly, we'...

The Money Pit: Question
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2008/12/question.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Sunday, December 21, 2008. I know it's unlikely to draw huge responses (given my recent return here), but I'm going to post a poll, and will gratefully receive comments in response to this question:. What do you think of coal heat? Here's the thing. I have a pellet stove in the cellar, and I don't like it. It's an Englander that had a completely appalling malfunction a few years ago (yes, this one. Is your husband anyone I might know?

The Money Pit: January 2009
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Sunday, January 11, 2009. The hand that's been feeding me. I'm going to say something here that's just not nice:. I hate pellet stoves. I mean, I hate them. It's a stupid idea that tends to be poorly constructed, providing the illusion of effortless stove heat while actually trapping the homeowner in a neverending cycle of malfunction. Is there a fair amount of operator error? Sunday, January 04, 2009. How to Repair a Broken Financial World.

The Money Pit: September 2006
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2006_09_01_archive.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Friday, September 22, 2006. I know I promised pictures, but before I get to them, I'm going to indulge in a quick rant about the appalling idiocy of hardware store employees. The guys at Home Depot clearly had it out for my shower project. Every time I ignored their advice, I was vindicated, and every time I listened to it, I kicked myself. Here's a sampling of important things to know without asking those morons. After a few disappointing...

The Money Pit: Hallelujah! I mean, ommm...
http://walterfielding.blogspot.com/2008/12/hallelujah-i-mean-ommm.html
Here lies Walter Fielding. He bought a house and it killed him.". Monday, December 29, 2008. I mean, ommm. I confess, I've been feeling a little cooped up lately. Between the snow, our budget, and work schedules that have us coming and going at completely separate times, I've found myself moping around the house for the past few days, even (really embarassingly) begrudging Jason the fun of a post-work happy hour. This hasn't, needless to say, been my finest hour. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
