Four Walls @FourWalls (86767) • United States 24 Jan 22

But I AM grateful. Last week I had my crawl space inspected. They did a very thorough job (they were down there for over an hour, and I was beginning to worry if they’d discovered a portal to the lost city of...

I posted about this a week or so ago, when I was still working on painting. I started this project before the Coronavirus stuff amped up, before we were suggested to STAY HOME, before mass amounts of businesses were shut down. I...

Places I miss that have gone by the wayside #2 : Ernst home improvement

librarygeek1980 @librarygeek1980 (3137) • United States 21 Feb 17

Before the days of Home Depot and Lowes, there was the smaller hardware store, bigger than the old time ones, but not the mega places either. I used to have one just down the street from my house. They sold some of the most...

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 14 Sep 16

One of the windows has already been replaced. The other two (the larger ones) are removed and are being installed now. Might actually be done with the whole thing by noon. That, of course, will leave me with a decision. Do I want...

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 14 Sep 16

Last week, our new window installation was rained out. It is rescheduled for today and, so far at least, it looks like the weather will cooperate. That means I'm staying home from the office while they install the windows on the...

I Don't Think I'm Getting My New Windows Today

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 7 Sep 16

They were scheduled to be installed today. But, we're supposed to get rain/thunderstorms all day so I pretty much woke up with the assumption the install will be put on hold. I'm just waiting for them to call me to confirm it and,...

We did have the window salesperson stop by yesterday evening and, as it turns out, the decision was a pretty easy one. We will be replacing the three windows we want to replace, though we did decide not to touch the front door at...

Steve Helmer @srhelmer (7047) • Beaver Dam, Wisconsin 13 Jul 16

I'm not a fan of inviting salespeople into my house. However, I want to replace the three windows (and possibly the front door) in our living room and kitchen. They leak air in the winter, are a pain to open and, when they are...

Farbuoloxusy @farbuoloxusy (1164) • United States 17 Apr 16

We are spending our Sunday doing more things around the house. I love weekends like this unless it prompts trips to Home Depot or another store. That would of course mean we would be spending more money on projects. Today we are...
