Good googly moogly, is that pink tile with brown curtains? I'm not art major but I don't think that's right... Good job on the final product though.

LMAO Evan

tweiss....your 'dump' looks good. haha I just have to say WTF to the builder/po who did the pink/black tiles mixed with the sage green tub/sink?!?!

 

[tweiss3]

Yea, i hate the pink tile. I wasn't able to get rid of all of it, but got the big part out of the way.

I must say, those 5 piece glue on surrounds are way easier than I anticipated.

Why? Is it a real dump or s*** hole? (lulz)

haha... no, not really...

just alot of little things that annoy me having owned the house for 2 months now... shower head being so lowly mounted on the wall that i have to bend over to rinse shampoo out of my head (top of shower head is at eye level, and the lowered ceiling isnt much more than a few inches above my head) noticing all things installed in the bathroom are ever so slightly off level, most people will never see it but i noticed it and it now annoys the s*** out of me lol

wanting to personally tear out the low ceiling above the shower, gain about a foot of "headroom", extend the water pipes/ move shower head to the center of the shower and install a large rainfall shower head... nothing i cant live with but things i definitely want to improve/make them what i want instead of just living with them... it used to be below the dining room, living room and my bedroom cause it was in nice shape and nothing needed fixed... but now there are just alot of little things i would like to change/tweak to make it ALOT nicer and its just moved ahead of the other rooms as far as priority goes lol

Built in 1962, and kept that way till we bought it. That should explain everything, including the fact that our kitchen and dining room ceiling were wallpapered.

have fun with that.

 

[thejeans]

have fun with that.

id rather deal with that than the stucco on all the walls and ceilings in my house... not one single smooth wall (for the time being) haha

 

[tweiss3]

Oh boy, thats not easy to deal with, Your best way would be to tear it down to the studs and start with fresh drywall.

 

[Evan9999]

Is anyone by chance trying to sell a set of 17x8 wheels (I don't need tires)?

yeah i know... i want to knock a couple walls out and open some things up down the road a bit, so fresh drywall will go up when i do some of that... i have no issues dealing with all the stucco for a while lol

 

[Lewis7789]

So is home ownership even harder not to mod than your car?

 

[thejeans]
