The new toilets are something to get use to. I like my old fashioned round low toilet. The new ones are elongated and my feet just touch the floor. DH said I should have sit on one before buying. LOL

When it comes to home remodeling, just remember that it's always darkest just before it gets pitch black... I'm in the middle of a reno too, and I'm so tired of it.

We bought a house in a tax sale over a year ago. We finally got in there the end of June. We made a blog about it. So far it has been a real mess. The blog link is in my signature. Today we hauled more trash to the recycle place - a whole car load of household chemicals, florescent tubes and dead paint. Then we got back and burned trash. Those people were hoarders with a flooded basement. http://notmuchnewaroundhere.blogspot.com/

Not much new for a while - we've been on hold. DH has had to do some paying work. I'd like pics again when we get the junk all cleared out. I'm working on a short post for now.

I live in a small house and renos doesn't take real long to do. Redid the bathroom about 16 years ago and I would like it done again with built in tall closets and a new tub and surround or stand alone shower. I have the tallest toilet we could find and elongated, so much easier on my knees. Husband is sick of redos and remodeling. We have lived here for over 42 years. He doesn't like moving either.
