The New "What did you do with your Z today" (with off topic replies) XXVIII

Ghostvette · 04-06-2018, 08:45 AM

I've been in my 'new' house 4 weeks.....

So far, I've had to have the following done:

Reseal the master bath toilet. Previous owner tiled the bathroom and didn't extend the flange above the new floor level, so the toilet didn't seal to the wax ring. Water ran into the garage through a light fixture.

I now have two holes in the garage ceiling I need to fix.

Oh... and not covered by home warranty.....

During this repair, bought a service plan from the company that provided the 'home warranty'...

They will do HVAC inspection and cleaning twice a year.....

Well, the HVAC system was 20 years old and has a cracked heat exchanger and the A-coil was completely plugged.

New 2 stage HVAC system installed last Monday with WiFi enabled thermostat.

I've installed two new ceiling fans and new smoke detectors (thankfully the smoke detectors were easy, old ones were First Alert, and new ones are too)....

Only bad thing.... ALL my stuff is still in boxes.....

The house I'm in now. I bought in 2004. Brick ranch with full basement. 2,000 sq ft and the basement is the same. The house is the same age as me.

Since I've been in it. I've replaced all the windows, doors, roof, electrical box, front porch roof that opens up, hot tub, installed 6ft privacy fence in the back yard, remodeled the kitchen, remodeled half the basement so far, started on remodeling the bathroom. all new carpeting, landscaped part of the back yard for a pool, patio in the back. Now I need a new furnace.

It's pretty good. The roof and windows were replaced in October 2017, so with the HVAC replacement, all the big ticket stuff is done. We changed the color in a couple of rooms and the deck needs some work, but that's to be expected. I'm just a little overwhelmed at the moment, the garage has a couple of paths through it, and while stuff gets put away, the number of boxes doesn't seem to decrease enough to make a noticeable dent. Both cars are outside and nasty thunderstorm weather is approaching....

I am knee deep in a remodel project and it has been a frustrating, infuriating experience. I feel for you!

Ahhh... homeownership

The only reason I kept the house is cause I hate moving

I've done the A/C thing in the past year. And the plumbing leak thing, too

Blasted music in the Z to work to enjoy what may be a short Friday.. (Company lunches usually make the day end right after if there is alcohol).

Was late however, because people don't know how to coast through corners.. Everyone was going 65ish until we ran into the guy going 40, then~20 miles later we were able to pass him on the highway
