I Might Buy This Place

It needs about a million years of work, but ohhh, you should see the wallpaper in the house. :) There's no shower or bathtub, but there's tons of mold! And the floors are all crooked. :)

I love it. I want to make a princess tower in the silo.

Edit for Shai: This is cement board

I love the old barn and silo, and the yard! But I don't love mold. Ick. I had anxiety attacks because our basement leaks when it rains really hard. I'm a clean freak though.

I'm thinking it shouldn't be too hard to clean it up, but I'd have a pro do it. I'm not playing with mold.

All basements leak. It's a law or something. This place has a dungeon more than a basement. Love it.

Yeah, the only thing that sucks is there is dry wall downstairs because smoe of the basement is finished. ugh
I don't want a mold problem too.

Did you get the drywall dry right away? You can put up cement board instead, like you'd put under tile in a shower. It will resist the water better.

Is it leaking down the walls or up through the floor?

Up through the floor. Cement board is a good idea! Can you get that at home depot? I could just put it around the bottom? My dad says most of the dry wall looks mold resistant. Hopefull the people who lived here last didn't insulate it. :-/

Yes you can get it at homedepot. Durock is one brand. If the basement is damp, I'd replace it all.

Can you cut a small hole in the drywall and see if it's insulated behind? It probably isn't.

If it's mold resistant maybe it's already cement board, drywall is not mold resistant. Which is why you can't use it in tile showers.

I hope it is already cement drywall. How do you tell? This stuff is new to me.

I put a link to a pic of cement board on the main post, the link was too big for the comment box.

If it's not finished it's easy to tell.

If you're planning on feeding him that you might want to make him sleep in the barn too.

It's Winter Again

Damn it's cold outside. I had to go out this afternoon and run some errands and I only wore my fall coat. I should have worn my winter coat, hat, gloves and a scarf, it's just that cold. Groan, I'm so depressed. So dude is cutting the last of the tile for the floor and then he's going to lay it. He'll come back another day to finish the tile on the walls. I'm amazed at how the bathroom is turning out, I've really outdone myself this time. I guess it's time to start thinking about where I'll be going when I leave here. I know that I'll be going to Cancun to stay with my friends for a few months, and I'm not going to look any further ahead than that. I'm going to party my ass off and have fun for a change. I'm going to surround myself with friends who love me for who I am. And if someone doesn't like me, oh well, that's their problem. I'm finished with apologizing to people who treat me badly. I'm tired of being humiliat...

A Prayer For Those Who Hate Me

I would like to pray right now to ease my heart. Sweet Jesus, please take the hate from the hearts of those who seek to hurt me. Please show them the path to Your Love. Take from them their pain, their bitterness, their multitude of demons. Make them whole in Your Love. Lead them to Peace so that they may not judge others in reflection of the judgement written against them on their filthy self-righteous rags of souls. I pray that they will REPENT and let You into their hearts so the judgements against them may be washed clean and their names written in the Book of Life. In Your Name Sweet Jesus I Pray, Amen.
