one-third bath/thirty bucks

Well okay, maybe this doesn't quite make up one-third of the bathroom, but it sure does help. And yes, it was only $30!!! c's list comes through again. The faucets appear to be almost new. They are not what I would pick but they are just fine. The connector hoses look new too-ready to hook up!

the beginnings of a bathroom!

This may not look like much..... but I had my doubts that we would ever make it this far. The main drain is in place, the existing septic tank has been filled and allowed to flush out for a couple of hours and low and behold, the water went the right direction. This is big news for us. This means that we will not be replacing the septic, at least for now. whew! This means we are fewer $$$$$'s away from the basement being inhabitable. ~and we know how every dollar counts these days........

SIT DOWN FOR THIS: the basement before we started cleaning and clearing

Well, the basement was every bit as bad as the rest of the house, but some pipes had apparently broken at some point. Clothing on the floor was totally soaked and moldy. It is a fairly new basement but there are breeches in the mortar probably because there were no gutters on the house and it caused problems.






There is actually food in the refrigerator, it's been there for a while! oooh! It all seems so gross, but when we set our mind to accomplishing something(and pray for God's grace) we seem to be able to just overlook all the grime.
