If you notice something not working, please drop a comment and let me know. The site has a lot of moving parts and I have been known to miss things here and there!
Now’s a great time to tell me if there’s anything you’d like added to, changed on the side. Let me know in the comments. Like this: Like Loading...

I just read the post about the dishwasher. We lost first the dishwasher, then the microwave and than the washing machine. When my husband started complaining about cost and later is the year, I agreed, said fine the sheets go the the cleaner and the little bit of our own clothes well he can hand wash his and I mine! The next day we went to buy a new washing machine. Strange how all men are the same!
Good luck with reorganizing construction.
Wishing you well on the reorganizing and construction. Be safe and healthy… hope those sprains have healed.
