So it’s been a minute since I updated

Cat is very good and we are inseparable, made for each other.






We finally finished the porch after a month or more



And the city came and removed a dying tree from the front yard



Not sure what to do about this stump on the easement though…



I bought some nicer click in vinyl flooring to replace all the carpeted areas, although I forgot about the closets, so I’ll have to buy a couple more boxes. That will be a project I pick away at, starting with the hallway.


In not so great news, our bathroom drains keep clogging and a snake isn’t doing it. Tomorrow we replace the iron traps with pvc and try to diagnose a little better. The toilet is also actively leaking and I think we have to replace the wax seal. Before, we thought it was a previous leak that had sunk the floor and broken the tile (because that’s what our inspector said) but I noticed the grout getting wet around the toilet. This, well, loving blows. I was not prepared for this project to come up and I’m not looking forward to it. I would rather hire it out but, well, poor. I wouldn’t have gotten the flooring or cat had I known we had to do the bathroom stuff sooner due to active water leaks. Thus is life.


I also started getting dizzy/headaches every time the heat comes on?? I don’t know if it’s coincidence or what just because of the time of day that the heat kicks on, but I feel like poo poo every evening when the heat is going. We have gas powered baseboard radiators, so the only gas would be at the furnace downstairs. I would smell natural gas and we have a fancy CO monitor that has never gone off. Maybe I’m crazy, it worries me a bit though.
