Instead of whining about my life, my screaming child, my too tight pants or my hair cut I will show you pictures of the next room that will get the Kaos family home improvement touch. You know in photos it really doesn't seem SOOO bad. But it really is. The appliances are very nice. I … Continue reading how much ventilation does a stove really need…

the wind up…
I am wondering if this bathroom remodel is the wind up to the bigger badder remodel coming around the bend. There are a few more things we need* to do to make this house livable for the long run.

After spending an entire day scraping it off I am … Continue reading the caulk master, the cock master, and the magical internet connection…

Occasionally I am capable of committing great acts of idiocy. That is not to say that I'm an idiot because clearly, I'm not (despite what that jury in Connecticut said). So in my swirl of crazy life right now the act of idiocy is that I'm not doing anything to make my job any easier.I … Continue reading election day blues…

Remodel schmemodel.Last night at 10:40 pm we officially had working plumbing again. That was 6 hours without running water for any interested.
