This Ole House..
I've got problems with my house -- actually a Destiny 1989 double-wide.
It needs a makeover -- or a redo -- or something. It needs help.
I've reached the point where I'm embarrassed to invite guests over for dinner. I'm afraid they might fall through the floor..or get stung by the (bees? wasps? hornets? yellowjackets?) that
have come back to reside with us yet again..
This house is, to me, a physical picture of failure. It is, since I'm now at home practically every day of the week, a constant reminder that I haven't "arrived" yet.
So what does this house need?
-Siding replaced
-Insulation replaced where neighborhood dog ripped it out
-an exterminator
-Electrical wiring fixed (front porch, a living room outlet, and the master bathroom outlet do not work.) I have to shave next to the bed!!??
-2 doorknobs installed - interior (which I have but can't figure out how to put them in)
-Gas company says furnace must be replaced before next winter
-Master bath - needs a total makeover. Floor..fixtures..everything. It's unusable. Leaks..
-Laundry room - needs floor replaced. Washing machine..leaks but can't find the actual leak itself. (I figure a good unbalanced spin cycle will send both the washer and dryer crashing through the floor at any moment)
If anyone reading this knows how, or could help with any of the above, please get in touch with me.
This house is feeling less and less like a castle, somehow...
