Yes, isn't that awful? First it was "when the kids" get older then it was "when the dogs are gone" then it was "when DD moves out and takes her cats" but mem weekend I said you know what Nancy, it's TIME!
So it's here and it's so big! lol My feet don't even reach the floor and I feel so short! So now of course the walls could use paint, new curtains would look nice...The color is called "luna beach" - it's the color of wet beach sand. Neutral, which is what I wanted, and microfiber, so soft! It's also sewn to look like patchwork which I like as it's a different, but subtle look. I love it so much I hate to sit on it! lol

We used to own what my DH called "The most expensive fridge in town". What happened was one morning we discovered that the fridge's ice maker had stalled somehow, and the water had continued coming, and coming out of the fridge, all over the kitchen, dining room and front room. We had to replace the carpeting, it was too soaked to save. Then that made the drapes look shabby, so new drapes in front room and dining room. Then that made the walls look cruddy, so new paint. Then since the dining room was open to the kitchen, the walls there and cabinets looked shabby...well, we wound up shelling out a larger sum of money than we had even dreamed of.!!

At least your disasters happened before you put down new flooring!! We put down the flooring, and when cabinets were installed, apparently they knocked the drain line loose. All the water went to ther basement family room. Carpet, chairs and drywall ruined. Amd the new flooring is now warped, but it is okay to use for us. Thern to top it off, this week I flipped a light switch downstairs and saw sparks fly. Called electrician, , and while waiting for him, noticed the house seemed warmer than usual( checked, it was 87 degrees!!) Called AC man, and guess what ? THe darn thing was melted on some parts, and other things weren"t working, so , new AC, new wiring and we are getting a new furnace too ( AC and furnace were installed 25 years ago, so we figured, go ahead and get both new.) I "thought" I was going to get a new couch and new dining room furniture, but not sure now.Thaat last set us back $6500, and we haven't even got the quote for finishing the drywall and repainting( that was all new three years this fall.

Look at your home owner's policy. Would one of these be covered?
