Old Flames!

The Attic

What I thought or hoped would be a simple remodel of the bathroom has turned into something rather involved.  I had the ugliest bathtub imaginable and wanted to replace it with a nice shower.  So very simple.  But oh no.  I knew there had been a fire in the attic but did not realize how extensive it was.  Previous inspectors had not noted it as being a problem.  My contractor did, however.



It was discovered that the bathroom was the porch at one time.  I can't get to the place to take a picture of what used to be the outside but here is a pic of the lath and plaster from the backside.


This picture is where my toilet should be.  It is rather difficult being without a toilet but there is one outside!  This picture was taken BEFORE the floor was torn out.  I left the house and came home to see the dirt below the house! 




Snow

For two days a few snow flakes have been whirling around.  It is as if it is starting to snow  but then the event never actually happens instead a few more flakes come down.  Every once in a while they get busy for about two minutes and then it appears as if those new flakes just blow around like those in a snow globe. Very strange.

I love Cleveland!

I'd love to hear from you.  Either comment here or you can send an email to vickistyons@me.c

  1. Outside toilet. Snow. No wonder you're feeling so tired!
    I have a feeling that this winter is one of the longest on record. Cold Easter coming up, another whole month of winter woollies for us over here in Europe.
