Pimp My House

Some people spend insane amounts of money on their vehicles. They have the fancy hood scoops and spoilers, the LED tail lights, the custom paint jobs, and all of that. Nothing wrong with that if you’ve got the money to burn. I wouldn’t mind sprucing up my ride a little if I didn’t have my house to work on.

This place is going to be a bit of a drain on our pocketbooks for a while. We’ve already spent several hundred dollars on the roof, which still isn’t done. We shouldn’t have to buy a lot more in the way of materials though, so that’s a good thing. But I think we’re going to have to completely replumb it to keep from having to make constant repairs, and that won’t be cheap. We also need to refloor at least two rooms, and the porch at some point. And let’s not forget painting the outside. I may have to live with that awful yellow color for a little longer in order to get everything else done.

I’ll be glad when we get everything as it should be. When we do, I think it will be an adorable little place.
