Ralph,
I am concerned that you haven’t learned to portray yourself as being incompetent yet. Every marriage needs that or you lose your powerbase. Whenever my wife has a GFI (Great Fing Idea), I have to meet with one of my contractor friends usually while out fishing. A GFI is generally a plan that improves the lot of person A without person A having to do anything other than ask person B to do it. Generally, GFIs come back after consultation as being too expensive, illconceived, or kicked back for more details which often leads to another consultation.
I don’t have to fake it. I am not mechanically inclined, nor am I a handyman.For instance my truck wasn’t pumping out heat, so I figured I better make time to put in a new thermostat. I told my brother and he said, “Did you check your coolant level”?
February 3, 2011 at 8:26 pm #933431Too Expensive = Anything that will require a payment to someone else or anything that could be put off until a new boat is in the garage.
My personal favorite (we are also in a too expensive to sell first house)is you can’t make a 150K house worth 200K no matter what you do. You take a house like that and put in a new water heater and furnace and the rest will take care of itself. Invest your money and use it to buy a house that has all of that crap done already.

What do you think, improvement???
February 23, 2011 at 12:45 pm #940648Looks Good
February 23, 2011 at 12:45 pm #940649Very nice Ralph. Looks like its time to go fishing now.
February 23, 2011 at 12:47 pm #940650It looks really nice.
February 23, 2011 at 12:48 pm #940651Very nice. Sadly, all you’ll do is stink up the place.
February 23, 2011 at 12:50 pm #940653What’s the rectangle in the glass block? A vent or little window of some sort?
We have close the same exact bathroom that I will be remodeling….well…once I finish the basement project I started a year and a half ago.
February 23, 2011 at 12:50 pm #940654Great Ralph…how long did that take you..
couple days?February 23, 2011 at 12:51 pm #940656Quote:

Yeah, it’s a little vent window you can pop open to allow fresh air in.

Unfortunately, the subfloor under it was rotten, so we had to get rid of it

You can credit my FW for that…and the Tile Shop in Plymouth for the inspiration
