Pandora’s box

Renovation time!

Does she want a new wallow?

I guess she has a stye in her eye.

We have those stupid fake water pumps and bowls that do not have overflow outlets in the upstairs bathroom. For a family with five kids, I do not know what the former owners were thinking.

Oh oh it looks like a whole bathroom make over is coming up.

Wait’ll he sees the latest in bidet fashions: he’ll have the same expression I had when I first saw one in a French hotel salle de bain:thought it was a footbath.(don’t laugh-I was 17 at the time, a thoroughly unsophisticated Flawdy crackah.)

I sense the “As long as we’re at it, we might as well _________” theory raising its very ugly head. Hoo boy, has that one caused me tremendous grief over the years.

If you don’t have room to add a European style bidet, the Japanese style bidet toilet seats also work well.

The leak is on the waste drain. You don’t need to replace the faucet to fix that. Might only need to be tightened or have the plumber putty and rubber gasket replaced.

A bathroom renovation thread. Call me when they finish in June. Of 2025.

The most dangerous words in the English language: "what would you think about painting the (select a room) walls. The horror$ and amount of time it lead$ to.

One of the things that kept my loving wife and I from doing “updates” was that everything was connected. This room would make that room look bad and every room was connected to our wallets. Since she died I have zero desire to do anything like that, not even fix a leak.

“Mister Slug builds her dream house.”

(Yes, from what I can gather “Slug” is their last name…)

I guess he has forgotten all about wossname, Sarah Palin, and her porcine cosmetics.

I see a full reno looming.
