And, I can't get the kitchen clean enough... I feel the previous owner's grime still there. Hearing the stories from the neighbors about how filthy he was doesn't help. It's a labor of love, this marking our territory thing, that's for sure. It's starting to sparkle a bit here and there, which makes the whole effort worth it. Thanks for a great post. You are uber-talented, that's also for sure. (Forgive me if I hadn't been paying attention, but is this a new blog look? I love it... especially the hot sauce graphic. I buy it in bulk.)denese bottrellhttp://www.thoughtfulcontent.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188195156470808711.post-50969071251862034762011-10-25T21:54:33.306-04:002011-10-25T21:54:33.306-04:00Historic Shed - Do whatcha gotta do!

We have the remnants of 3 generations of electrical. A staircase was moved to accommodate indoor plumbing (not adding additional plumbing. Adding plumbing in the first place). I can't help but wonder about all of the people who lived here before me.Raun Lauterbachhttp://www.backyardlifeblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188195156470808711.post-76613359571980243312011-10-25T16:56:52.345-04:002011-10-25T16:56:52.345-04:00Perfect description of the love-hate of home renov...Perfect description of the love-hate of home renovation. I "enjoyed" going into the crawl space of my first home in a tyvec suit to spread bags of lime since the previous owner had never fixed the broken cast iron sewage pipe (yes she was old, but still...) because it was MY house. Pride in home ownership doesn't get more convoluted than that.Historic Shedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08246838449640327809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5188195156470808711.post-29092343166501804962011-10-25T15:33:37.851-04:002011-10-25T15:33:37.851-04:00The Fine Life - *blushing* ; )
