Things i've learned in 30 days of home ownership

* Painting IS an easy way to completely change a room and rolling on a new color is even kind of relaxing.. BUT... Trim and molding is the PITTS! i think i'm on 3 coats on one window cil and molding and i'm still not sure it's white enough!

* there is ALWAYS something to buy at Home Depot or Lowes

* even faux wood blinds are DANG expensive!!! so we are going bare down stairs for a bit.. i'm refusing to put the cheep one's up and it's driving Ben crazy!


* there's NO ONE to call when the basement flooded because the dry well my new BIG fancy washer drains down is frozen (we think!)! (ok it didn't flood but there was water!)... i take that back there is someone to call.... the PLUMMER but WE are expected to PAY him!!!

* paid the first payment and no buyers remorse!

i thought i'd be done with all the painting by wednesday when i can post pictures but now i'm not so sure.. i might be done with the ONE room i'm hoping to finish tomorrow.. and we are expected to get like 10-15 inches tuesday night so wednesday might be a wash for the library anyway.. so we'll see..
ta ta for now

Ah yes - that brings back so many memories. When the water heater bursts or the wall leaks or something blows up, I REALLY miss our landlords...
