Once again, I am hating my husband's ex for convincing him to buy a shitty house in the middle of nowhere.  Things in the house have just started DYING the last few months, and it's only an eight year old house.  Things are breaking faster than I can fix them, and it's really bugging the crap out of me.

A month or so ago, about the time I was making my "little somethings" for the GARF musicians, the oven died.  Since we have a toaster oven, and we're not big bakers (except in the bread machine) in the family, it's not such a big deal, but I really want it fixed in time for, oh, Thanksgiving.  That would be good enough.

About two months ago, the pipes under the sink in the master bedroom started leaking at one of the joints.  BADLY.  As I have stated before, I am so not a fucking plumber.  We have to turn the water to the faucets on and off under the sink to do anything like, oh brushing our teeth or washing our faces.  I want this fixed, like yesterday.

Last week, on Wednesday, the freezer portion of our fridge died.  How did we find out?  Tommy> bought me brownie batter ice cream after my extraction, brought it home and put it in the freezer to firm up.  He went to get it for me, and it had done the opposite, melted.  We've already done about $500 worth of repairs on that piece of crap.  Tommy decided it was time for a new fridge.

He managed to get us a really good deal on a floor model.  Original sticker price of fridge?  $1600 something.  Price paid including delivery, set up, an extra water filter cartridge, 4 year extended warranty, tax, etc?  Less than $1000.

It has been delivered, I get to see it when I get home.  I wish it could have ice cream inside it, but it's probably not chilled enough to keep ice cream yet.  *sigh*

It's really frustrating having all this coming time off to work on the house, and not have the money to buy needed supplies.  I just need a little lumber, some bits of hardware.

Hmmm, scanning garage sales and thrift shops sounds like a good plan.

I am REALLY proud of this picture.  It turned out so well.  Click on it and view the lard version to see all sorts of little details!
