I have been reading with minor amazement the adventures over the holiday of my niece and her parents (my brother and sister-in-law) and how they have been replacing the plumbing of a 70 year old house that the niece bought in the Washington DC area. It is a project that few homeowners that I have know would ever want to take on.
So just to go on notice to my three lovely girls, if you buy a house some day, spending a week replacing its plumbing is NOT something I will be doing for you.
Ha, ha, ha! Luckily, each parent brings different talents. My father, for example, would never treat me to a meal involving truffles :)
ReplyDeleteAnd now you have a niece who can help you with your plumbing.
well shoot, I'd already factored into our house buying costs!
ReplyDeleteI like the IDEA of renovating an older home, just don't relish the thought of all of that time living in dissary while it's happening. Of course, it doesn't help that I watch those home rehab shows where they go from trash to treasure inside of an hour.
