We live in an old house that was never in good shape from the beginning, and while we did what we could with it, there\u2019s always something else to be done. I\u2019ve mentioned the ceiling leak into our sitting room from our upstairs bathroom before, and when we had it repaired last summer, we knew the fix might only be temporary. It lasted a year before the re-patched corroded pipes began leaking again. So this year, we bit the bullet and the bathroom pipes will be totally replaced. Figured we may as well replace the toilet while we\u2019re at it (leak is from sink and tub, not to worry!), so we\u2019ve had the boxes with the replacement toilet and tank sitting in our space, along with the 5 gallon bucket we keep handy for leaks. We\u2019re pretty used to it after it being here for several weeks now, and the boxes make serviceable end tables. The black plastic bucket \u2014 it sort of blends in anyway. Meanwhile since the plumber\u2019s going to be here, we\u2019re also going to replace the laundry sink he installed in the kitchen for us last summer when we had to replace that on short notice. The three basin restaurant sink with drain boards arrives today, and the faucet Friday. So that will also join its plumbing compatriots. Not sure when Graham will be available to get to any of it, he\u2019s good about fitting us in where he can. It\u2019s been a stellar year for contractors with no letup in sight, so we are thankful to have a couple who are accommodating. But that\u2019s not all. We started having some air quality problems in our basement and have begun clearing it out. This means we\u2019re spending as little time as possible down there and rather than hanging the clothes on the line we have downstairs (we don\u2019t have a dryer), I now have them hanging across a pole on our front room ceiling. When you live like this for a while as we have, you can\u2019t help but laugh because humor is sometimes all that keeps the curveballs bearable. Bearing that in mind, we\u2019ve dubbed our interior design style a curious blend of\u00a0 Green Acres Core with a Schitts Creek Vibe. It does bring comfort to call it that, and like I\u2019ve said before at least I have beautiful negligees to at least keep up some sort of appearance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
