Upon signing the Deal and moving into sweet homeChicago, Cpu and I embarked on wholesale improvements to address the many shortcomings of our property.
- We needed serious family help to replace the galvanized plumbing horizontals.
- The asbestos guys came back to remove the asbestos that time forgot.
- The lead-safe windows guys came to remove the deadly lead windows.
- We had the retarded electricians pull clothed wires and install light boxes.
- We had a handyman neighbor help:
- install a combo exhaust fan and light
- replace the wooden back gate
- firm up the loose basement stair
- replace the loose safety rail
- Aussie uncle correctly decided we needed to replace the moldy plaster basement wall, and he helped vent the crawlspace behind it. He also helped install window air conditioning.
- paint the living room
- install several fire detectors
- Install the living room ceiling fan and glass shade.
- pimp out the lights with low-energy bulbs, new fixtures.
- Put in the play room swag light.
- clean the rugs
- spackle everything in sight
- de-mold the basement
- Bust out the crimpin' skills and run ethernet to wall jacks.
- Reassemble the worldly goods from my new home into sweet home Chicago.
- Stain and re-hang the world's best pot rack
- pimp out Bpu's room
- Build a set of new oak handrails for the stairs.
- Cpu repainted the world's worst full bathroom.
- scrape and caulk and prime exterior trim
During home improvement hell, I agreed to submit to a Cpu-mandated internet black hole.
