Waiting for the Cleaners

I have a confession to make: I hate a dirty house.  That means that my house is spotless on the inside and needs to be spotless on the outside.  I can handle the inside of the house, but when it comes to the outside that is another story.

I have no idea on the most effective way to do concrete cleaning, and all my attempts with my garden hose have basically failed.  I can spend hours outside working on it, and it still looks horrible.

Same goes for house washing.  My little garden hose just doesn’t cut it when it comes to getting it clean, and when I do try to do it myself, it looks worse than when I started.

So, what I have done is contracted a pressure washing firm to come over and do all of the outside cleaning for me.  I figure that they should be able to do a better job than I can, so I will have to see if I am right.  They should be here right away to do the cleaning, so I better go watch at the window for them.

Replacement Windows for my New Home

I am very excited to be the proud owner of my very first house.  I bought a cute little character home that most people thought was in disrepair and I have decided to fix it up and make it all my own.  A lot of the work that has to be done is cosmetic, but I know I will have to buy replacement windows for the whole house before winter.

I decided that a may as well get started on this matter right away.  I contacted a window company to see if I could get a price quote on what it would cost to put in new windows in my whole house.  I knew it’d be tough financially, as I had just basically given all my money that I had saved up as a down payment on a house, but I knew it had to be done.

I had a big Illinois window company come out and measure all of my windows to give me the quote.  It was not near as bad as I thought it would be and make you little character home will soon have brand-new windows so that I can clearly see my new neighborhood and my lovely little yard.

Stupid Plugged Toilet

So, have you ever plugged a toilet?

Well, I know that it may sound a little weird, but I had the "pleasure" to do it for the first time this weekend.  I would have to say that it wasn’t my fault, but when your five year old puts a whole roll of toilet paper in the toilet, you are bound to have problems.

But, I really had no idea of how to fix a plugged toilet.  So, I went online to find the information that I needed, and thankfully there was a site about home plumbing repair that had all the answers I needed.

All I had to do was go to the store, buy some stuff, and fix it - simple as that.  Needless to say, I will be having a "little" chat with my son - this should not happen again.
