Prices Go Up; Sizes Go Down – Let's Face the Music

https://charlieandjo.wordpress.com/2015/04/29/prices-go-up-sizes-go-down

Let's Face the Music. Renovating an old house by a musical couple who want to live there the rest of their lives. Prices Go Up; Sizes Go Down. Of course I’m talking about cars. I would have driven my Mazda forever if she hadn’t become so grumpy and money grubbing. I was in the market for a new car because my 9-year-old red Mazda3 hatchback with a manual shift was behaving very naughtily. She drank oil like it was water, chugged, puffed, hesitated and, in the end, needed a new engine. The sticker of a car...

Our Bungalow's 2nd Century. A DIY work in progress. August 13, 2015. When I last wrote about the side porch. It was close-but-not-quite finished. (If you missed them, read previous posts about demolition prep. The porch in June. The caps on the posts did go quickly. We assumed our gender-specific roles: Eric cut the wood and screwed it in place, then filled the holes with stinky two-part epoxy filler that dries hard as rock. Click on any photo to enlarge it.

Kitchen: One Coat at at Time. August 6, 2014. Carrie @ brick city love. Ohhhhhhhh it’s feeling good! The seemingly never-ending spackling and sanding routine is. Paint brushes and rollers have been broken out. I’ve said it before and I will say it again –. If you can paint, you are almost done. Just getting to a point where the paintbrushes are dipping their little brush heads in primer means things are in the home-freakin-stretch. The spackle has been sanding. Usually about 8 billion times. This past Su...
