Everything Including the Bathroom Sink
I mentioned that we’ve been preparing our house for a sale date that will probably be months down the road. We have completely renovated the kitchen and dining room. We tore down walls and completely redid the design and layout of the kitchen. We replaced the floor and countertops sinks the oven and the refrigerator. We put in patios and new decks we’ve read for the basement and built a laundry room. I even installed a library in the house capable of holding hundreds of books.
We got a few small things left to do like painting the walls and replacing the carpet in the bedrooms in the living room. Or even contemplating replacing the bathroom sinks. We had porcelain sinks and they were nice sinks but they were set on countertops or little generic. We have replaced one bathroom entirely and put in a marble sink and countertop that’s kind of combined in one total unit. We now to figure for going to upgrade the other two bathrooms in a similar fashion.
We have done some major renovations and repairers and we’ve actually done it on a shoestring budget. We’ve putting quality items that we picked up on clearance and from outlet stores around the area. We’ve done all the work ourselves into an anchor of labor charges. It’s been a long and slow process but it’s definitely made the house better. That should make the sale of the house even easier. All that is left to do is to finish and list the house.
There’s Something About a Bean Bag
I stumbled upon this funny ad campaign about bean bag chairs
Where Sumo Lounge asks the question “What’s your favorite position?”
Then they show this series of pictures with a model in several classic bean bag positions.
Bet you never thought you’d read the phrase ‘classic bean bag positions’ now did you? Well you just did twice!
here’s some of the pictures. Its kind of funny, this company is getting a lot of good attention.
Check out the photo gallery from the 2006 Playboy Superbowl party, I’ll admit its hard to tell if the bags or the bunnies have more nylon showing . . .
Floating Alligator Head with Solar powered eyes for the Swimming Pool
I’m am consumed with finding more and more ways to save energy. I sold my gas guzzling Mazda 3 a couple months back and now ride a 250cc motorcycle. I would like to outfit my home for solar energy, but don’t have the money yet, but I would like to go it one step at a time with some solar lighting for security reasons also.
As I was looking around at Solar Lights for some solar lighting I came across a funny (big) item. Its a solar powered alligator head that floats in ponds and swimming pools. Its solar power also makes its eyes glow at night! I don’t have a pond or pool myself, but my brother and parents do and I think this might make a great little gift for them. (They don’t get many gators up in Illinois!)
The gator above bobs and dips under the water, but they also have more reasonably priced gator heads that just float, plus a floating hippo head as well. I’ve got some friends that have some battery powered fish that swim around their pool, which are pretty amusing for the kids. What’s next a squid that will reach out and grab your ankles as you walk by?
