Holly models the room

Here is Holly attempting to model the living room after it was done.

It's hot in here baby

When I bought the house, I knew that I would need a new furnace. The one that was in the basement was like 40 years old and looked like the bottom decided being rust was more fun then being metal.

Yes, I knew that I needed a new furnace so I saved or it. I was waiting for my mom's 'guys' to come through. They did not. I went far too long without heat so when it got down to 52 degrees in my place I had to call in the professionals.

Now I have heat. I must say I am kind of sad because cold cats are lovey cats. When they are cold they hangout under my blankets. When it is warm they hangout in the basement, then they smell like basement. However, I have a roommate that likes to be warm, so I got a new furnace.

By the way, the picture is of two cats. You mainly see Mandy, but Mewska is the big black spot.

More from the river

Here are some more pictures from my favorite place on earth: the river by my house.

Tiny head

Look how small my head is. I am the one on the left. I took the picture when Holly and I were doing the Dr. Dumbass (Dum-as) and Dr. Douche (Douch-shee). It all started when we were working on striping the floor upstairs and had to wear masks because it was toxic. We started calling each other by Dr's for some reason reason I said "calling Dr. Dumbass, Dr. Dumbass to the front. Please tell Dr. Dumbass he is needed. *over com* "It's Du-mass!" *says doctor*

Idiot

Mandy Mew is not the smartest cat on the block. She farts when ever she is spooked (it is stinky) and she doesn't keep her nails groomed so she gets stucked on everything. Whenever Mewska is on her leash, Mandy sits from the door and watches. One time I took her out and I think I have a scar on my chest. She freaked and farted a lot.

Man this sucks

When I bought the house I thought that I could remove most of the paneling in the two spare bedrooms. Well the paneling in the dining room came off super easy, but when I got to the TV room it was not the same. I could get the paneling off, but the walls didn't look the same after 50 years of settling. Then on the exterior walls, they did not replace the walls and it was plaster.

So basically I had to take join compound and fill in the cracks from the paneling. That was not fun. It sounds easy to just put compound on the wall, but if it is not flush with the wall it has to be sanded. Then you have to put Kills over it. Kills smells really bad and is so hard to get off your skin. If you don't do that, then the lines show.

Poor floor

Ok, so I don't have the money to re-do all the floors at my house. The old part of the house had hardwood so it was inexpensive to get them lookin' good. However, new floor is freak'n expensive.

In order to do my bedroom in pergo it would cost me about $400. That is money that I should spend on getting a bathroom sink and a working oven. However, I really want to have a nice place to sleep. I decided to save the $400 and only spend $5 on stain. I figured since I always change the way my bedroom looks, in a year I will completely change things. The good thing is I have a rug that covers the entire room so you can't see the floor. But if you could, you would see that I made fake hardwood.
