I’ve never been fond of housework and now I hate it!!

I think that is one reason that I worked for so many years ... Gave me extra money and I could have someone else do my housework. LOL

Ceiling is the worst damage. About a 4 ft square area...and I found some water damage to the varnish on the sink cabinet’s lower shelf facing we didn’t catch...but that is ok as we had planned to refinish them..they are after all 45 yrs old and getting gummy.

This was worn out valves, just 1 went just after super, the other in the middle of the night.

We do that too, turn off hot water too, and I think hubby will in future turn off the water at the street after this.
They suggest you turn off your Washer, all sinks and toilets for these reasons when you go on vacation.

Never seen hubby move so fast to get water turned off on the hot water tank and then the next morning at the street!

I don’t sweat these things..we are DYIers so I’m use to living in construction messes. :)

Will report what the contractor says when he comes tomorrow.

Trying out my new glasses...not happy with the left lens STILL. This is the 3rd try, 2nd RX and they still can’t get the thing right.

It has not been my month.

I guess we have been lucky; we don’t ususally turn off the water.

We are in the country and our water is by house well and pump. The pipes could freeze ... hubby usually leaves a hose running very slow in the orange trees. Helps keep the trees from freezing and keeps water flowing thru the pipes.

I loved it when I worked. The cleaning lady came on Thursday and I loved coming home from work that day...LOL! My husband used to tell our friends that I cleaned the house before the cleaning lady came. Men don’t understand that things should be put away. I don’t think she could’ve put my things away to suit me. Guess men think putting things away is cleaning!
