DD had their appraisal done yesterday, to see if they can get their PMI insurance dropped. It was just a quick deal and the guy told her he should have it submitted by today. She is hopeful. Zillow shows their home at $404k and Redfin at $440k. They need it to appraise at $403k. Plus, I'm sure it really helps their value that their home was all updated just before they bought it. New flooring, appliances, counter tops, etc. She put her little aussie mix dog in his crate, so he wouldn't jump on the guy and sent me a picture. The look on that dogs face! You'd think he was being tortured. She left her Corgi out and he just followed the guy around the house, trying to give him toys, LOL.
Tomorrow is my half day work Friday, and I have to run an errand in the city, so I'm going to pick up a small grocery order, mostly milks, water, soda, and salad. Total in my cart so far (unless I think of more) is $60. Which reminds me........I forgot again to take some hamburger out of the freezer this morning. Why can't I remember this? LOL.
DH caught up on the phone last night with one of his buddies he's had for many years. Poor guy, he's having troubles with his son, who is now 19 or so. Typical lazy, doesn't want to work behavior. It sounds like friend is to the point he's telling his son it's time to move out. Friend raised him on his own since he was a baby. Always put his son first. Changed jobs when he was little so that he'd have a set schedule for daycare, etc. Decided not to get into any relationships while he was growing up and put being a dad first and foremost. And ended up with how so many young people seem to want to be today. Spent about a month and a half at college last year and quit and came back home. Friend told his son "you owe me for a semester of college!" Kid got his job back at a restaurant. Then recently got a better job he's had about 6 months, but just quit because he can't get himself up and out of bed to get to work on time. DH asked friend if kid was smoking dope. He said probably. Then friend told DH something about his ex-wife (of like 17 years since divorce) that he never told DH before....she is an escort! Well, doesn't really surprise. She is a nutcase. Left her baby and husband to go off with some guy that was running a cult. Totally into some "new age" lifestyle (she thinks rocks have feelings) and somehow has been supporting herself all these years selling new age stuff or training others in it. I can remember thinking to myself how does she support herself on that? Ahhh....yes...now it all makes sense.
Does anyone know how to go about getting a fold/crease out of an area rug? I bought this rug online and really like it. Except it came rolled up, but kinda squashed/folded. A few reviews said similar happened with theirs. Suggestions were that after it laid flat a few weeks, it would come out. Nothing I have tried helps. I have let it lay flat (for weeks now), I have laid something heavy on it. I have rolled it the opposite direction and I have tried ironing it. I'm about to email the company and complain :(
I ordered two handles for my barn door closets that just came. I'm really happy with them and both for only $15 (Walmart 3rd party seller). They are very heavy metal and solid.
Lunch break is over, back to work.
Try steaming the crease on the rug. That’s what flooring stores do to get creases and crush marks out of carpet. They use large steamers that look like a vacuum cleaner with a water tank instead of canister. Not sure if a handheld one will work, but try that first before you try to track down a big one.
ReplyDeleteoh, I have a Bissel "little green machine" thingy I forgot about, that I should give a try. It has water it uses to clean. Now, I have to figure out where it is....in a bin still, somewhere...
DeleteYou can hang that picture of the cell tower and pretend it is the Eiffel Tower! :D
ReplyDeleteI agree, try to steam it? Maybe with a shark mop?
ReplyDeleteI kind of tried to steam it with water and my iron but didn't help
ReplyDeleteI was going to suggest steaming, too.
ReplyDeleteMaybe try to remember to take your meat out of the freezer the night before, when you start cooking dinner, and put it in the refrigerator. I had to start doing that because I too would forget to take it out in the morning before leaving for work.
