    A little less than $4K for... 3 days ago

    ...the phase 2 repairs. Beautifying the bathroom a bit, new window, installing a new attic ladder and insulating around the attic door, etc. Can’t afford a new fence right now, though :(

    Second phase... 6 days ago

    ....of repairs will begin soon as we get our quote.

    The third phase may be scrapped altogether since we can’t fix our gutters without knocking down our sunroom (it’s complicated)...

    Phase 1 of home improvements... 1 month ago

    ...is complete! Attic/crawlspace are insulated, we have an attic fan, old disgusting utility sink is out, and the giant man-eating shrubs are gone from our yard.

    God this is painful... 2 months ago

    ...and we’re just having insulation put in! God help me if I ever add an extra room to the house.

    Got the estimate! 2 months ago

    Way less expensive than I thought – much better than the price the rude guy from Home Depot gave me. It helps to use laborers right from your own blue-collar neighborhood!

    Just had an inspection... 2 months ago

    ...from a guy I trust (he’s a general contractor and also the head of our local community association). I should have an estimate sometime this week for a CRAPload of work I need done around the house. I’m hoping it comes to $15,000 or less. YIKES!

    I keep putting repairs off until the kids get out of college. 2 years ago

    But now the roof is leaking, so I’m going to have to bump the repairs up in priority.

    I’ve had roofers patch it twice, but I definitely need a new one. It has to be done before other repairs, like new doors and landscaping, can be arranged.



    Make house repairs 4 years ago

    I need to make some house repairs and have no skills whatsoever so ok, I need to make a list and contact my carpenter and get it going. I’ve been saying this for a year and have yet to do it.
