No, this is not a joke.

I am getting very frustrated (understatement of the century) at all the corners the previous owners decided to cut.

How do people set such low standards for themselves??

How can someone live in a house that hasn’t been cleaned in years, is missing downspouts, has water pouring into the basement….. and apparently has a leaky pipe under the shower.

This is not what I wanted for my friday – I’m sorry for the uncharacteristic grumpiness of this post!

Now, my friends – make me feel better! Tell me when a ‘surprise’ in your house took you to the edge and how you got back!
