Let's Talk about Mudrooms
Comments (36)I have a little space but hubby managed to put in builtin open cabinet. It’s taking time but I think my hubby is doing a great job DIYing. It was Less than 250 including hardware for the barn door. he is not a professional but have A picky taste for finishes and design. No need to pay thousands. we will probably spend more money because I want to put granite top in the middle with mirror. But planning on buying a leftover piece from the cabinet store they have it out selling them for 38 dollars a square foot cut for you. now we are onto caulking and sanding to paint in grey to match the door. It’s sturdy. We built the whole unit outside and brought it in and attached it. if we can do it, you can too....See MoreLet's play with my Snazzy Garottage project
Comments (126566)julia, your husband's initiatives made me laugh out loud. I wouldn't know whether to be happy or not, if I were you. I mean, it would be nice if mr Bab were more interested in the more banal side of life, but to just order things without discussing it with me... On the other hand it could probably feel like being very well taken care of. I have a 100% natural latex mattress, the soft variety. In fact, it's my second, I love it so much. It is something that you have to get used to, the first few nights it feels like lying on an elastic band, but after that it's pure bliss....See MoreDisguising a raised bed septic system
Comments (3)You definitely need to mark your leach field and all pipes running to it, as you need to make sure you don't drive anything heavy over it...say equipment for future building or fence. When we built a detached garage we had to have all the equipment take the long way around the yard. My leach field is obvious to see from upper story window since the grass is greener (ha) but the pipe from the tanks over to the leach field isn't obvious and runs about 20 feet so we marked it with rocks. I have planted a large perennial bed where my 2 covers are. I put a 4x4 plastic tarp over each cover and just put mulch on top of those areas. That way I can just move the mulch when the tanks need to be pumped (every 3-4 years) without having to dig up any grass or move plantings, or make a big mess. I just grow grass on the rest of the whole area. It's really not a big deal...welcome to the country!...See Morelet’s talk in-home treadmill placement... (save us from divorce court)
Comments (33)If you have another tv room upstairs, then definitely; it should go in basement , if not leave it to the back of the room and I negotiate on best time to use it ( when tv is not open). The utility room isn’t exactly a motivating place for exercise, but in the end it depends on the person who will use it . If the utility room is large then they may like to add other equipment too- a little den , perhaps....See Morestar_stuff
