My fantastic blessing of a BIL came by of a Friday evening to power wash my place.

Poorly planned
Flush mounted globe lights are fine enough I suppose, on a low ceiling.
Not so much over a staircase though. Continue reading “Poorly planned”
Malfunctions
So, the washer died. Again. Last time my wonderful BIL fixed it for me. His fix was still in place of course, but now something else was wrong. (Sigh) Continue reading “Malfunctions”

Finishing touches?
OK, enough is ALMOST enough, as it turns out, because I decided to revisit the living area.
