first there was this furnace
then there was this A/C unit-
now this fabulous and romantic sump pump battery back up
followed by the removal and switch over of some remenant knob and tube wiring (wildly jealous?)
happy birthday to me
I hate being an adult
stay tuned- my washer dryer are chatting in the night about how fun it would be to break down together and my driveway needs paving.
I feel your pain Jules!!!! Knob and tube sex appeal over here!
just had to say…getting a sexy new furnace on tuesday. gawd, that was hard to write without crying…
I think I might need to hear about your brick job, grumbler. I paid 1200 this morning for a battery for my sump pump. *sniff*
don’t be jealous Alice – I have been forced to- my insurance company bullied me into it. Not nice. Not fun xx
if you catch me making a pass at it- pull me aside and intervene
Talk to Trace about her potential brick work…it’ll make your crazy.
And I’m with Alice – that furnace is SEXY…
I’m a little jealous of the replacing the knob and tube, actually… I still have some!
And you did choose a pretty sexy furnace, all sleek-like.
But yes, I hear you. Wouldn’t it be nice to spend that on something less severely practical?
Boo! Hiss!! I loathe having to part with my monies for such things too, Village. Ack. 🙁
At least your “shelter” will be working well… won’t likely have to touch any of that stuff again anytime soon! (Right?!)
jules- its killing me- why can’t things last forever. Like marriage. OOOOPS.
sexy furnace! i know how you feel. it’s really hard showing off our $14,000 flat roof overhaul and feeling all giddy about it. i guess on the bright side is that because of said overhaul we still have a house that is standing! 🙂
