One more day

One more day of stocking up type shopping. Nothing like that least two trips, though, so I didn’t bother getting any photos. I did get a photo of this handsome fellow. View this post on Instagram A post shared by The Re-Farmer (@the.refarmer) Last night, we got more of the bitter temperatures we were supposed to be past by now. When I looked during the night, we had hit our predicted low of…

Fixed

Last night, my younger daughter was able to crawl under the kitchen sink and get it fixed. Yay! This the old stuff she removed. What a mess! Just disintegrated! The sink the pieces are in was much like this when she fixed it our first spring here. The new drain kit is very different. The cup is deeper, and it has a completely different stopper, both in how it fits in the drain, and aesthetic…

Getting all knobby

In my last post, I commented that it sounded like my daughter was finished cleaning the knobs that we found to fix the door to the old kitchen. I was wrong. She was down in the basement, using the buffer in my Dremel kit on the knobs! She just took this project right over, and I’m happy she did. She did a much better job than I would have! 😀 This is how the knobs looked when I dragged them…

Replacement door: hung

The replacement door to the sun room is back up again!

Of course, things went wonky in the process. At this point, I expect nothing else!

I don’t know if you can tell, but we ended up adding yet another piece of wood under the bottom hinge. The gap there was still massive. And yet, none was needed at the middle hinge!

Of course, the door didn’t quite fit, even after all this. We still…

Replacement door: sun room door frame progress, and washer surprise

You know, when the outer door on the sun room finally broke, we thought replacing it would just be a simple matter of switching out one door for another that we salvaged from a shed.

How wrong we were!

There were a lot of things we discovered along the way that complicated things. For those who are new to this blog (welcome! Happy to see you here! 🙂 ), you can catch up on the saga here, h…

Front tap, finally fixed!

Front tap, finally fixed!

For the past while, whenever I’ve had the chance, I’ve been looking for what I might need to fix the front outside tap.

At first, it would spray water when we shut the water off, so we just left it on. It made it more convenient when using the hose, anyhow. Then, after the end of the hose broke off and I tried putting on another one, I found it had started spraying water all the time. So…

I reorganized our bedroom. Replaced the bed, replaced dresser and hallstand, repainted some parts of white wall and placed some new deco. 

No big deal. I’m only dying of  pain in my back.
