I mentioned that we have a lot of changes coming up! And we do! First is, renovations. H’s dad is a contractor and he is coming to stay with us next week while he completely renovates our condo. We are installing laminate floors, molding, doors, closet doors and painting. Whew. So how much is this [...]
Our sofa is probably 10 years old, or so. One of the legs broke a few years ago and thankfully at that time I was able to repair it. Earlier this week the same leg broke again! And unfortunately, it was unable to be repaired. We don’t have money to buy a new one right [...]
