Okay, so our house isn't exactly a money pit. It just feels like one sometimes. In the less than four years we've lived in our house we've put in a sprinkler system and sod, put in an A/C compressor and air handler, installed many foundation piers on both sides of the house, taken down a wall, and fixed a major plumbing issue. I'm sure there is more that I'm forgetting. Today we are FINALLY fixing leaks that were caused when we got our foundation leveled this summer. We love our house....we do, mainly because it's ours. We're just sick of things breaking. The bright side of getting the leaks fixed is they have to tear up our tile in the office bath. This has inspired us to replace the shower tile in our master-bath. We are taking out the small old-school bath with 4" white tiles and replacing it with a walk-in shower. Last weekend we picked out the materials. The shower walls will be a golden travertine 12" tile with a border of 2" glass and slate tiles and the floor is a similar colored 2" tumbled stone tile. We are very excited! This the our first "fun" home project (besides painting of course). After the bathroom stuff our next big project will be replacing a few of the original windows. Ahhhh....love home ownership!
