When I first saw that I thought it was a collapsed ceiling, not something someone did on purpose.
Most college towns have laundry services that will pick up your laundry, wash it and fold it, and deliver it back to your house for a couple dollars a pound. Such as Lazy Bones Laundry.
You still have to put it away, but you could probably Taskrabbit that for a pretty low rate.
And yes, my grandmother was a narcissistic monster of a mother to her own kids
I've got a shirt that comes out of the dryer wrinkled. It's a collared shirt with breast pockets, and I don't know what it's made of but I never want another shirt made of that in my life. The pockets and collar just bunch up and won't smooth out. I'll hang up my clothes right out of the laundry but I'll be damned if I'm going to iron anything that isn't a dress shirt I'll need inside of 3 days.
It's kinda like bloodbourne, where she has enough insight to *notice* that we're out of clean dishes, or that a dress came back just slightly still wet, but not quite enough to sense the preceding piles of dishes or clothes that she's presumably wading through in my clunky metaphor.
I'm not even bitter anymore- I like my nice house! And absolutely no one appreciates someone having to come in behind them and clean the bathroom *again* because you didn't do it right the first time, so it's really better this way for everybody
... You maniac.
Are you saying this is not a good gin?
What's the bylaws regarding people who don't have a dryer? All my stuff is hung up on my clothesline because I live in an area of the world where that's possible year 'round.
You can also see the curtain that's attached with only 2 hooks because it's too high to be able to replace them, and the curtain rail is metal and from the fifties so it's not worth it even if I could.
It's hard to take pictures of the waviness of it, but this rose sits out about 50mm further than the panel below the metal rod, there.
There's also damage to a bunch of the panels -- luckily it's just the plain ones or I'd be selling both kidneys instead of one to pay for it. These two cracks have a 5mm air gap at the base which makes an eerie whistling noise when it gets windy
- a columnar apple tree that makes green apples (my current two are red and golden apples)
- an olive tree
Tonight I worked on some stuff in my front yard to prepare for the third tree. I'd actually already started some changes in the front, that I've been working on slowly through the past year. Namely, instead of having two separate border rings around my trees, I changed it to an extended curvy border that flows along my front walkway and partially borders my driveway. What I was in need of doing there was to add some weed canvas to the newly expanded area, to pour paver sand over it to keep it down, and to add mulch. For the new tree, I extended my border further down my driveway to encompass the new tree, and started a hole.
I have plenty enough paver sand and weed canvas, but I ran out of mulch pretty quick. Still I'm pretty proud of where I'm at.
Pictures aren't great at night, but here they are just the same:
I included the third image not only to show the future location of my third apple tree, but also to show I've extended my wood border down my driveway. I intend to do the same on the other side of my drive but haven't started yet.

It's part of the reason we bought the house. Hopefully we can get it looking like new again and restore some of the character
In the meantime that hallway is depressing. It's amazing how drab it looks without that splash of colour
I have to say, I really like the inside of this house I bought but the backyard leaves a lot to be desired. The house is a 3 bedroom, 1600 square foot "linked home" meaning the foundation is attached to the neighbour's but above ground it is detached. Its in a packed suburb and the backyard has basically zero privacy. For instance, right next to my kitchen is a sliding door into the backyard, and I can clearly see directly into my rear neighbour's kitchen area. When in the actual backyard you can see everyone's backyard around you and vice versa. I'm probably going to put in bushes/trees around the perimeter to help with this, I just need to figure out what ones.
The backyard has a deck that is quite nice but actually doesn't help with the privacy problem, because it is raised about knee-height off the ground (it is level with the main floor of the house). Its like.... 10 feet x 25 feet....ish? I'm interested in perhaps adding lattice walls, or considering other ideas. I mean, I want to not have everyone in my business but I also don't want to make the deck feel all boxed in. If the deck wasn't there when I bought the house I would probably have put an interlocking brick pad down, with stairs going down from the door. But the deck is actually nice so no reason to get rid of it.
The backyards are all packed so close that true privacy is impossible, even with sight lines blocked sound will be an issue. But I need to do something here or I will never want to even hang out in my backyard.
If your climate is compatible, Wooly Bushes can be easily trained into neat hedges which are extremely hardy and very low maintenance. They're also very very soft to the touch, and great at blocking sight and sound.
Really ties the room together
That is like, still a million dollar house cause thats how much you're going to have to spend anyways
If you click through all the pictures you can see it's been retrofitted to be handicap accessible with ramps and toilet risers and such. I think it's kind of sweet, actually. I like to think of an elderly swinger determined to stay in his home so he doesn't have to leave behind his memories of anonymous, coke-fueled sex parties.
There were two that were relatively identical (same floor plan but reversed and aesthetic differences), and within 5 days both were contingent.
fuckin....
and the coloured lights for the changing rooms next to the sauna:
ugh.....
Satans..... hints.....
The foreground floor is pitched to allow water to run off.. but then someone probably carpetted over the drain hole.
Hmm, so you're saying this room is a large room that's slanting towards the sauna which causes the steps to get progressively taller?
Yea - those three doors are visible in the shot of the pool, so it seems to me that they pitched the floor around the pool for reasons.
How'd that go? Besides replacing appliances and the admin cost of disconnecting gas, were there any other costs? How much time did you have/take to do it?
We're...rather gas averse, but we're finding a lot of homes say they have natural gas. Right now, we're not 100% what that even means (especially when I see what appears to be an electric stovetop range!), but if it's as straightforward as replacing appliances, then while that is likely an expensive endeavor, it's not an impossible task.
Still hoping we can keep it going and clear out the closets and the garage, so we can use them for better storage and make even more room.
Natural gas is awesome, efficiency wise.
That said, our house is all electric and it's nice just to have everything on a single bill.
