OMG this house is Old
3:25AM on May 15, 2009

Plaster, lathe and ancient fiberglass insulation >>> Lead couplings for the Sewer lines >>> Old Water pipes full of sediment and 'HardWater' deposits >>> a 40 year OLD WATER HEATER that was Never maintained >>> Crumbling Entry Steps
Ok, so it isn't perfect but I call it "Home" & so has my Mother since 1968.

My Brother & I are renovating to make the 'Enrty Level ' Handicapped accessable. The current Project is a Full Bathroom on the 'Enrty Level '.

Two brothers Home Remodeling and ... Did I say I Cook Too !!?

I need a fishing trip. Fresh Crappie would be nice this winter.

We need to have this ( Full Bathroom on the 'Enrty Level') completed before 5/25/09  to ensure that it is safe for any ( Blindness, Limited Mobility, etc. ) Handicaps.
I'm not STRESSED.

Sinister Grins !!!
