Big Box of Awesomeness
No, it’s not mine. Instead, the Big Box Of Awesomeness is over at Drew’s Blog. This is a box of swag that he wants everyone to guess what’s inside. Now, I think so far we’ve figured out an Izea cup holder and obviously a tshirt (since we can see that). However, I have a hint for you. I know something else that is that box. Want to know what it is?
This is a Magic Frame. You can put 40 4×6 photos into it and be able to switch them in and out at will. Now, Drew is having a contest to see if people can guess what is in his box. You now know one thing — Go enter!!!!
My Bathroom Today
Today was not a good day at my house. My toilet overflowed. ALL DAY LONG. No, I didn’t know that there was a turn off switch behind the toilet till about ten minutes before Bill got home from work. Yes, this was in the bathroom that we did the bathroom remodel in. I seriously could have cried the whole time. I tried plunging for over 20 minutes to no avail. Also, for some stupid reason, our toilet kicks in all the time. I don’t know why it does it nor do I know how to make it stop. What I did not realize was that every time it kicks in that it runs water. Sooo, we were leaking water all over the bathroom before I even knew it. Yes, the water made its way downstairs too. I think I ended up wrapping the toilet in something like 20 towels throughout the afternoon. I even drained some of the water using a cup. It was crazy. Bill came home and plunged the stupid thing 4 times and fixed it. I could have screamed!
Now, we installed a new tub in this bathroom. However, we did that mainly, because Bill wanted to add a whirlpool tub. The tub that was in here before we think was the original one put in the house (which would have been in the 1920s). Before we tore it out, we looked at doing a bath tub refinishing project but really couldn’t find any companies who did it. I did like my old tub and a bath tub refinishing would have been nice. However, since we did go with the whirlpool tub, we have been told we greatly improved the value of the bathroom. Seriously, if you were looking at a house, would you want a tub that was flaking paint off or one that was brand new or one that looked nice? That is a no brainer for us, so we replaced the tub as part of the basement remodel.
Now, my mom has back issues and has a hard time getting in and out of tubs. I would love to be able to buy her one of these someday:
This is one of those walk in showers. I think she would absolutely love it. Plus, if you end up selling your home to a family with kids or a senior citizen couple, they would love it too!
What kind of tub do you have in your bathroom?
