The Home Ownership Thread

[Althis]

Was looking at my mantel thinking about extending the shelf and making it look more finished.

Pretty basic but this was my initial idea, likely in white oak. Thoughts?

If you look closely at the urinal photo, you can see someone has tried to beat the door down to get out at some point. Which is not particularly surprising.

hm you'd think they'd just use the doggy door

If I wasn't so fat myself I would make the obvious fat joke.

Note the booster step for the urinal. This is a family that knows you gotta start teaching your sons early.

As home prices decline, Southern Californians who bought at the peak are nervous

Southern California home prices are falling, eroding equity homeowners could spend on renovations or emergencies. People who bought at the peak are particularly nervous.

I wonder if my wife would go for that?

I installed a new toilet in the kids’ bathroom yesterday. It was easy enough that I’m now pondering replacing that one in the half bathroom at the front of the house.

If a turd herder can do it it ain't rocket science that's for sure.

I’ve figured out that I can do any home improvement job myself if I have the right tools and some patience. Patience is the hard part.

It’s also not always worth the time. We got a new dishwasher recent that included free installation (and removal of the old one).

I have mentioned this before, but first thing I do in a house is change out toilets.

Dishwasher is super easy, especially if you have on already installed!

No judgement attaches to this question, but why?

It is easy. My dad and I installed a dishwasher years ago. But free install isn’t a bad deal.

Well, to be fair, I have never owned a house with toilets I like. I have bought two houses from the 70s (beige, gray, pink, and green toilets) a house from the 1780s (bathrooms redone in the 1980s and we'll water. Those stains were DEEP) and a house from the 90s( builder grade to the max except for the gourmet kitchen)I like chair height toilets, and none of them had one. If they did, I might not switch


Also, there is something about fresh porcelain

... a house from the 1780s ...

I kinda want to hear more about that.

Fresh ******* to call your own is a luxury @PhilKenSebben and I can agree on.
