Started over 6 years ago redoing one of the bedrooms in my house. I finally finished it this weekend. Needless to say, I absolutely hate wallpaper, it is the root of all evil. If you are going to put wall paper on, have a hopefully professional do it, so when people want to remove it, it doesn’t rip the backing off the wall board down. Here are some pictures of before, during and the final look.

I got home this evening to find that the house was really hot.. The AC had been running all day, but the inside temp was over 80ºF… So I went down stairs to the furnace and this is what I saw:

Needless to say the inside of the duct is a “block” of ice and there is now water dripping everywhere from where it is melting.

Decided today to replace the icky toilet in the laundry/bathroom in the lower level. It had been leaking water so it had been off for about a month. Well like everything else in the house, replacing it was more than I thought. First off, they had the toilet about 20 inches from the real wall. and there was a little fake cabinet behind the toilet. Well what this ment is there were no toilet supply lines that would reach from where the water value was to where the toilet sits. So I had to take a facuet supply line and couple it with a toilet supply line to get it to work. It works, but I am not sure how much I like the flange that Crane Plumbing provided with the toilet (which also did not come with a toilet seat, and caused me 2 more trips to Lowes). Tomorrow the nasty sink gets replaced in the same room.
