This is a photo from my walk in Broad Run Park earlier this week. And to think, today I didn’t go anywhere, and it cost me over $600! The electrician showed up. It was easy getting him here. The hard part was getting him...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 2 Mar 22

Roof estimate day. Today was a day I wasn’t exactly looking forward to. Instead, it turned into a fabulous blessing for me. The roofing company employee was prompt. In fact, he was early. He hopped up on the roof...

Wednesday Night Musings

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 26 Jan 22

The laundry is done. Now I have to get the faucets back at that “magic point” of dripping so the pipes won’t freeze. All of the crawl space work was finished in a day. I’m now eleven thousand dollars poorer, so please...

Home Ownership Woes

patgalca @patgalca (18481) • Orangeville, Ontario 26 Nov 21

As some of you may know, I am very reluctant to leave this house. My husband wants to retire to another province leaving this house behind. A house with 25 years of memories. To a place I'm not really fond of. Well, I'm beginning...

The House Smelled That Deposit!

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 6 Jan 21

There’s an old saying along the lines of, ”House problems” is a redundant statement, because if you’ve got a house, you’ve got problems. My COVID money was deposited Monday. Apparently the house smelled the deposit,...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 11 Oct 20

There it is! Yes, there’s my new water heater. Installation, code improvement, new pipes, etc: just under $1800. They say there’s only two certainties in life: death and taxes. Home repairs are also a certainty. But I...

Signing Off 1/27/20

LindaOH @LindaOHio (222624) • United States 27 Jan 20

Usually I don't let my lack of mobility and loneliness get me down; but today is an exception. My hubs is out running a few errands; and I am alone. He slept most of the day away. I'm hoping he will join me for some TV watching...

First of all, let me apologize if I sound like I'm whining and complaining...I'm simply trying to keep you up to date with what's happening (and maybe venting a little). It just happens that things have not been going well. Last...

About That Honesty Policy.....

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 18 Apr 19

Now that the final house payment has been made I can put those megabucks (that's a joke, my mortgage was less than $350 a month) toward other things in the house. One of the things I've been putting off is a new furnace and/or...

Four Walls @FourWalls (86778) • United States 8 Dec 16

There's an old saying: "saying 'house trouble' is redundant. If you have a house, you have trouble." The same thing goes for a car. I suppose that's why many people choose to rent instead of own: the toilet breaks in an...
