Painting a ceiling after the float on the tank stuck—creating an amazing water feature in the bathroom—is exactly the thing I want to do this week. 🤦🏻♀️
I am escaping #OldHouseProblems by going out for breakfast and ingesting many, many carbs.
🤷🏻♀️
(☀️ Good thing I’m still listening to Telemann…)

That feeling when you try to clean decades of rust and grime off a piece of stainless steel door hardware...and rub off the super-thin chrome plating in the process. 🙄

Welp, now I have a mouse skull and jaw to clean up, I guess?

It got stuck in the drip bucket underneath the floor and got all squishy mushy in there, I got rid of everything else but those two parts. Yes, I obviously use gloves when dealing with such things.

Nothing is simple.
I went to disconnect the supply line from the old dishwasher and it turns out that the valve to shut that off doesn't work. Great.

This flip looks brand new… until you spot the furnace. Rusted, outdated, and from 1986 — Always look past the cosmetics 👀🔥 #HomeInspection #FlippedHouse #FurnaceFail #RealEstateTips #HomeBuyers #HouseHunting #InspectorFinds #OldHouseProblems #LosAngelesHomes #PropertyTips #fliporflop

I was hoping not to have to reuse all the (painted & beat-up) strike plates from the interior doorways in here, but it looks like replacing them is around $15 APIECE! and that's a bit nutty.
Nope. #oldhouseproblems

Top view of a beige-painted door hinge
Front view of a beige-painted door hinge
Today's first victim:
That glob of paint on top of the hinge kinda looks like a jaunty little hat. Paint blob fascinator, maybe. 🤔

A heat wave is hitting the NE. For us, that means putting up our window air conditioner units. We are limited in where we can put them because most outlets are far away from the windows. #oldhouseproblems

This "before" picture shows 4 keyhole covers coated in ivory paint, and two brass doorknob base parts with ivory paint smeared on them. Everything is sitting on a grey countertop.
This "after" photo shows the 4 brass keyhole covers and 2 doorknob bases clean of paint. Everything is on top of a white paper towel.
More brass door parts, before & after.

11k in plumbing repairs under way right now. All the plumbing under my house and out to the sewer has to be replaced. My poor yard is going to be ripped to shreds.
Owning a house sucks sometimes 🙄

Can any pest control people of Bluesky or others who have dealt with rodents confirm this is a rat or mouse? We came home from vacation to this. Also found some gnaw marks on a dog food bag and poop. No sightings yet. We are currently getting quotes from professionals. #OldHouseProblems
