Well, despite what you read, it hasn't been ALL hair putty and conditioner around here... the house has been gradually falling down around us too ..
A few things:
1. The Hot Water Service is about to blow. It's leaking and making strange sounds. With mum coming and a few other things, the new bathroom has leapt to the front of the line, so we're waiting on a few quotes back, and hoping the HWS lasts until we can fix everything.
2. We also have a gas leak. We're hoping the house doesn't blow up and are trying to save on a call-out fee by enticing whoever the lucky winning plumber is, to fix it at the same time as he's doing all the other bathroom work ...
3. The toilet I got 'fixed' is starting to leak again, and is making *scary* noises that rumble the house about 2mins after flushing. In a way, this is good, as it should be a free callout, and then I can get the guy to look at the gas leak at the same time ?
What a penny-pincher I am ... meanwhile we are possibly only days away from certain death. Please, nobody light a match ....

Yesterday AB got stuck into the ivy again and nearly got it all off - only a little bit to go now. Yay Daddy ! Meanwhile, I took down some old and battered screen doors I hated. Not even worth flogging on Ebay.
I hate screen doors. I'd rather the occasional insect in the house than having my vista of the great outdoors impeded. I also hate screens on windows, as I enjoy sticking my head out of them, and ... windowsill dependent, I like to sit up in them and daydream, or read....
Unfortunately, the windows here don't support people sitting in them, but I still like my views without mesh regardless.
You can also see AB finally ripped that stupid cot mattress carcass off the fence. Fab.

Nothing scares me more than natural gas. I am intensely afraid of fire, explosions, and the stuff that causes them. We have natural gas heat, and it freaks me out every time I see the pipes out back.
I tell ya....our next house is going to be solar!
Ok, my bit of advice, forget about fixing the toilet or hot water heater and get the leak checked out--if the gas blows, it don't matter that everything else was working. As for screen doors, living here they're nice during the summer--otherwise, we'd all be just red and swollen mosquito bite.
