The Basement Remodel: The Bathroom

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

Well, I haven’t updated with any pictures since framing just looks like framing. A lot of electrical work has been done too (by Bill and his brother), but you really can’t see that either. However, we started working on adding a bathroom today. Here’s what it looks like when you add a bath when you didn’t have one before:

Yes, you have to dig up the foundation and add a pit (and beyond that they lost me.) Let me tell you, it is super stinky when they do this too! At times today, I was already to pack up the Briggs and Riley luggage, and high tail it out of here. However, opening the windows helped somewhat. I keep trying to remind myself — this is all for a good cause. LOL

I also most forgot to tell you. We had to shut the gas off on Friday to move some piping. Well, when we went to relight the water heater, it wouldn’t! After messing with it for about an hour, we ended up at Home Depot and got a new one. That means, the only appliance we haven’t replaces since we moved in here is the refrigerator! Keep your fingers crossed on that one please. In a way, it is good that it died now. It was 21 years old, so it definitely was on its way out.

Why, Why, Why?????

I got this in an email and I thought I was going to die laughing:

Do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead?

Why do banks charge a fee on “insufficient funds” when they know there is not enough money?

Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet?

Why doesn’t glue stick to the bottle?

Why doesn’t Tarzan have a beard?

Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him?

Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets?

Whose idea was it to put an “S” in the word “lisp”?

If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes?

Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white?

Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?

Why do people constantly return to the refrigerator with hopes that something new to eat will have materialized?

Why do people keep running over a string a dozen times with their vacuum cleaner, then reach down, pick it up, examine it, then put it down to give the vacuum one more chance?

Why is it that no plastic bag will open from the end on your first try?

How do those dead bugs get into those enclosed light fixtures?

When we are in the supermarket and someone rams our ankle with a shopping cart then apologizes for doing so, why do we say, “It’s all right?” Well, it isn’t all right, so why don’t we say, “That hurt, you idiot?”

Why is it that whenever you attempt to catch something that’s falling off the table you always manage to knock something else over?

In winter why do we try to keep the house as warm as it was in summer when we complained about the heat?

How come you never hear father-in-law jokes?

Why Men Aren’t Secretaries

Ok, my own hubby sent me this one. That should tell you something. LOL

WHY MEN AREN’T SECRETARIES…

Husband’s note on refrigerator for wife:

Someone from the Gyna Colleges called.
They said the Pabst beer is normal.
I didn’t know you liked beer.
