We bought an old house. The previous owners made some Choices. We’re fixing them (and swearing a lot).

Sometimes you have to just enjoy the moment, regardless of the hellfire that surrounds you. May you all have a great night.

May your night be bright,

Next up: fixing the fuckass plumbing. The copper pipes are so old that they’ve started threatening to leak. A nonzero number of valves simply don’t close anymore. I’m redoing it in PEX. Crimped, not sharkbite. I’m also taking this opportunity to ease up on the pipe spaghetti. 🙄

Today, the Old Haus is not out to get us. Structural engineer braved the snow and came out to assess, and while yes, the house IS a little jank, none of the problems were unfixable or even overwhelmingly expensive. Good job not being a POS for once, ya bastard house. 🥹💕

I’ll be DIY-blogging (skeeting, whatever) the repairs & renos of our 1960whatever death trap.

To be clear: I LOVE this house.

But seriously, fuck this house, tho.

It was well loved once before (by the first owners)—and then they retired & sold it to people who had NO BUSINESS “renovating” 😬
