Getting Our House Fixed

When I arrived from work this morning I had to go and change clothes so I can rush to the gym. It's what I do on a normal day but when I picked up my shirt I heard something crack. My foot suddenly slid in one of the floor boards. Yeah I know this house is pretty old and we might need to renovate the second floor but I almost fell in this time. With the funds that I have right now it might be possible but the logistics of living somewhere else while doing that is giving me nightmares. That and I need a reliable Floor company that would be able to provide me with the design and structure that I need. I still want hardwood floors and the warmth it gives. It would be nothing fancy; just something that would look good on my space and give me the non slippery/rustic feel I have previously. Maybe I'll purchase more pieces to match it but as for now I'll settle for the old things I have since they are pretty expensive.

I don't want to fall in on it again so I'll try and look for ways to fix that temporarily then purchase hardwood floors once renovation starts. It was funny this morning but it's good that I am thinking of renovating this now. I guess it is time. It wouldn't be humorous if I fell all the way through and land on the ground floor right?! Ha-ha!

How about you?! Have you ever thought of getting your house re-modeled or fixed?

When you can't do it, they'll do it For You!

I'm no handyman and to tell you honestly it has been years since I did something beneficial at home. I can't build stuff. I don't do carpentry. I don't know how to wash clothes. I don't even know how to do the dishes. I can cook but only I can stand the spices so I'm the only one who eats it too. I can be handy around the kitchen but not elsewhere. When it started raining a couple of months ago I felt something drip on the side walls of our house. I never mentioned it to anyone until we had a typhoon just last month. It was Signal number 4 and the country was ravaged by it. While I was trying to get some sleep that same place that had drips suddenly became so strong it was already causing a minor flood in my room. Dad wasn't that good about fixing things too so we asked around. They were literally charging us a few hundred bucks just for fixing small holes and applying putty on it. I knew that offer isn't right so I checked out places like BISONBID.COM on the Internet. It was then that I said to myself, if ever I was going to have any kind of home remodel; I'll try to find help here first. I need to save money and they have a lot of people who do odd jobs like these. It looks like the perfect place for me!

Fixing the roof and the labor required for it was easy to negotiate for. I was sure that there are a lot of professionals who could do it but this one can get me the best deal since they bid on it. Professional contractors are going to have to wait because there are even more qualified people on their site that can do the job at a fraction of the cost. I'm not going to spend too much money for renovation or remodeling when we are in a financial crisis. That wouldn't be the smart thing to do. At least in this place they can outbid each other and I can choose the best deal too! Best of all the service is free of charge! No need to pay outright until you get the job done. You guys better check it out to get that bathroom or kitchen fixed next!

Need to fix it!

It's raining again on this side of the world and I'm really afraid one day that I would need to shell out a couple of hundred dollars just for the roof. This is 180 square meter home and if I calculate that with the cost per GI sheet here it will be so expensive. I wonder where I could get a reasonably priced deal. The contractor is bugging me to get it replaced instead of just putting in gray putty to temporarily solve the problem. The wood is already rotting and things are getting wet even inside the house and bathroom. I wish there was a way I could get Austin Metal Roofing over my house so I wouldn't have to worry about it so much. Every time there is a storm or typhoon, Mom gets us to pray over it so it wouldn't fly away. That will be a nightmare and I hope it doesn't happen anytime soon.

There was an instance that happened and all the cabinet and China Mom had been affected so this is seriously going to be hard for us just to stay and do nothing. Maybe if I get my hands on that loan I'm eying for I would get this to be a priority. I would need to also replace a couple of dry walls and keep them dry literally. I'm no expert carpenter but I know what I need at home when the going gets tough. I would like to get more of this problem resolved soon. The last thing I want is to get everyone else worried about our home. It's the only one I have too!

Do you have problems like these at home?! Care to tell me about it?!
