Knock three times

Replacing a ceiling fan in a new home is a relatively minor task that most people would be able to accomplish in a day. Replacing a ceiling fan in an old home with knob and tube wiring and no structural support for the previous fan, is another story altogether. We knew this was a job we would have to tackle pretty early into our homeownership for three reasons. The original fan was A} not attractive B} not operable and C} kind of falling out of the ceiling. My mom was kind enough to make the new fan our house warming gift and after debating a for few weeks we finally ordered one from Lowe's. We couldn't wait to finally have light in our bedroom so as soon as it arrived Steve got down to business.

Its curtains for you, shower door

Oh, the shower doors. How I hated you. Why would anyone ever install these things? Not only do they force you to clean half of your shower and tub at a time, they build up mold and mildew in the track. The first time I was attempting to clean the bathroom, the left door fell off the track and I barely managed to catch it and stop it from falling into the tub. Naturally I wanted to get rid of these things IMMEDIATELY, but I was wisely informed by the husband we were only doing one room at a time and the kitchen was first. So... I not so patiently waited.
