Frisky's New House Thread

[pcf]

Mullet hang. Are we talking full Gundy, half Gundy or Joe Dirt?

Ugly whitefridge reincarnated as cool chalkboard beer fridge...

[Friskyfrog]

I fully expect Boston to someday draw a dick on my chalkboard fridge.

[Duquesne Frog]

There is no way you can fit 1800 margaritas in that fridge ...

[Friskyfrog]

Well not colossal margaritas, obviously.

[Friskyfrog]

Added accent wall in the basement...

[Friskyfrog]

You all agree that the karaoke stage needs two spotlights installed on the ceiling in front of it, right?

Truly beautiful, Frisky (+hubby)!!!

I'm kinda' jealous. No...I'm rotted. I've spent more than all of my nest egg on a new foundation, new wood in many rotted areas, completely upgraded wiring (cheated by contractor 15 years ago), all new windows, new front entry, new rear entry/small deck, new siding, new roof on kitchen extension (a worker kinda' stepped thru it as it was more than a bit rotted), lots of new insulation, a new tiled bathroom with refinished clawfoot tub, a new set of kitchen counters and ceilings + some walls, and not much more. Fine exterior shell that should last many decades, but certainly no wonderful interior spaces like you picture here. But at least I'll have a great shell of a house with a nice bathroom and somewhat nice kitchen.

Well...at least I have lots of bottles of wine to piss away my state. I have about 100 now that are all aged more than a year. Should keep me going for a month or even more!

We painted our Adirondack chairs to match our front door...is a sentence I never thought I'd say or write, but here we are...

Owners suite bedroom...



got the sliding barn door to the bathroom hung...

Realized I'd never posted the final iteration of the basement. We added a Skee-Ball machine, an air hockey table and a Bartesian drink machine.

Are your family all southpaws? The skeeball looks like it would be less comfortable for a righty

Well I’m left-handed so screw everyone else!

No, it’s not flush against the wall, you just can’t tell in the picture.

Do you know about your commute situation yet?

Do you know about your commute situation yet?

Its not official official until HR does the paperwork, but I’m being relocated to the elementary school with the signing deaf kids (just about a mile from my current school). So instead of PreK-K I will teach K-2 DHH, so a pretty minimal shift overall (in fact I will again have 2 of the kids I have right now). Other than it just being a huge pain to tear down one classroom and set up another, and to figure out how everything works at a new school, this was the next best thing that could have happened besides just getting to stay. Still lots of questions about the future services for youngest DHH kids, and why the district felt the need to duck with something that was going exceptionally well, but I should be fine.

Excellent news. I'm glad to hear it. That must be a relief.
