Saw that dish rack…..

by RoachKiller

On Amazon and they had a return for $12 so I figured I would try it! I’m 1 dude, it takes me a week to fill up the dishwasher!

I can wash dishes as used! So it turned out far better than expected! Cool stainless steel piece with a water drip tray, the works! Pertty cool!

Kitchen almost done! Have to box up all the old dishes etc. so I can put out the Bonita and that cool gold and black laser engraved silverware!

Matter of fact I’ll take pictures of my Bonita ware and those utensils tonight!

Oh and meyers general cleaner is the fucking bomb! Added bonus it smells nothing like simple green for those of you recently in prison!

Sorry was nap time….

After umami ramen! I’ve been waking up super early to get in condition for the new job! 05:00 local time is actually 07:00 central time. Which is the time zone I’ve been working off of for the last 23 years!

So when I finally start work. If I have to be there at say 03:00 local time. Which is actually 05:00 central time. The pain of early starts won’t be to bad……

To the point of this post! lol, after finding out the laundry room curtain was a bed sheet. I went and ordered an actual bathroom style curtain last night!

Same color and all. I now just know that it’s an actual curtain!

It looks much better! And I know it’s an actual curtain now!

Of course that area would look so much better with solid wood oak French doors but…..

The builder who built most these houses. Really had some fucking weird floor plans!

Then after last nights ant ambush. I found these 1 gallon sealed lid, wide mouth jars to put sugar and flour in! Oddly they included a white grease pen to note contents with! 🙂

Then since I was ordering, I went ahead and ordered that laundry room wall hook to hang sorts and shit on…..

Luckily I’m somewhat handy huh?

I am officially…..

Done with anything bbw.com! It was actually cheaper to go 5 bottles of hand soap than buy the containers and a refill!

So yea! I’m good! I also didn’t realize how much I like that soap until the old lady took it all with her…..

Told ya…..

Just the stragglers of stupid left behind…..

And the local news is talking about thick fog this morning! I just wanted to remind all you bible thumpers that “ lord take the wheel!” Is just a verbal or mental request for Devine intervention! Don’t let go of the steering wheel while driving on your way to church!

Unless you’re in a self driving car! Then it’s ok…..

I know it’s…..

Disgusting as fuck but just remove any foodstuffs around that area. And let them take all the food they want from the bait traps!

Don’t spray them with raid, nothing! By the time I wake up in the am only stragglers will be left!

Added bonus I now know how they are getting in! My mistake for forgetting to bug spray the exterior of the house before the rains and cold weather started! ;(

lol…..

I just realized what that is! It’s not a curtain at all! It was here when we bought the place!

It’s not a curtain, it’s actually a bed sheet ROFLMAO! Omg!

lol, I think I’m going to order something new! ROFLMAO!

Ok the laundry area…..

by RoachKiller

Don’t laugh! Those inexpensive washer and dryer set were bought 15 years ago! They have never been worked on! They work just as good today as they did when we got them for $500 for the pair new!

It’s going to be a whole day project! I need to pull the washer and dryer out. Clean behind both and find a shorter dryer vent hose Connection!

Put a new weather seal on the bottom plate of that exterior door and new thicker weather stripping around the exterior door jam!

Washed laundry area curtain! Might have to order new one depending on how it comes out of the washer! 😉

Do I want to put French doors there again? No, unless that exterior door becomes an outy instead of an inny open!

Oh and buy a retractable wall mount arm to hang shirts etc!

And for goodness sakes, buy white caulking! Jesus Christ! And remove that old alarm sensor! The new ones are better!

Glad I got down….

by RoachKiller

And hand washed the floor! I found I need to replace the toilet caulking as it looks like I used clear when I put in that toilet! wtf? I don’t remember doing that but…..

Checked for leaks on toilet connections! Washed the poop stains out of the bowl! 😉

Look at that mother fucker! So clean you could eat off it!

And realized that after all these years, the cigarette tar is still bleeding through the paint from the previous owners!

God damn they seriously had to smoke a carton at a time! Over the years I’ve removed so much of that shit off the walls!

I also need to put up that Japanese inspired light fixture and decide which I like more. This one or the Japanese one? Then deal with the paint ring left behind by the original fixture that was there…

Slowly but surely I’ll get this place to that vision I have in my head! With or without help!

Only 2 more bathrooms to deal with today! Yay!

And it is really racking my brain as to why I used clear caulking on that toilet to floor gap? Anyone remember why I did that?
