For a couple of years I was reading the weekly free newspaper because they ran a somewhat regular column by a local home inspector named Walter Jowers. I really like his writing style and his storytelling skill, and he makes good points about home construction, maintenance and repairs. But then he disappeared from that paper.

Well, by chance I was looking at a different alternative paper and found that his weekly column has found a new home. He will be writing for the City Paper every Thursday, which is extra cool because I can read that online and don’t have to go pick up the actual printed newspaper to read Walter’s columns.

This made me laugh because my dad and stepmom had a big papasan chair exactly like this one. Even the orange cushion was the same. We used to love that chair. Once you get in it, the chair and cushion is so comfortable you don’t want to get up out of it.

The lavatory in my main bathroom has been giving me some troubles lately, now it is leaking from the handle, how weird is that? I’ve never seen water leak from the handle before, but have placed a bowl directly under it, in order to prevent a huge mess from occurring and damage done to the floor and cabinet right beside of it.

The house animals are loving it, they now have another source of water that they can enjoy around the house. Guess I need to find a plumber, I don’t think that I know anyone that does plumbing work that I can turn to, bummer. Right now is not a good time for a plumbing bill to arrive.
