A quick sprinkling after each time you wear your sneakers is always a good idea.
Yup, that’s for real.When the roof used to leak, pieces of cement board would fall out and land on the stairs below.
Thankfully this is just in a back hall leading down to the basement that we don’t use very often, so it’s not a high priority.It definitely reinforces my point that our house is far from perfect though, doesn’t it?.Scary Basements.
Speaking of basements, I can’t believe that I’m about to show you ours.. Let’s just get it over with.. Again, as far as old farm houses go, this one is actually pretty good.I swear that one of the basements we looked at was half swamp.
This one is at least dry enough to store our stuff in and keep a usable extra fridge in.
In time we hope to really clean it up and make it a really nice storage area, but that’s obviously a long way away.. Seemingly Random and Senseless Renovations of all Kinds.There’s no need to do the sides since they’ll be hiding inside the hole.
It looks like it should be more complicated than that, but it really isn’t!.OK, so it’s not the most dramatic before and after because of all of the other updates still needed around here, but as far the vent cover goes it’s like night and day.
If you’re planning on updating an outdated room, keep this little idea in your back pocket.You’d never know that these weren’t brand new now and you’ll easily save yourself $50 on replacing a whole room’s worth of covers.
