It really only took about 45 minutes including clean up!
And it always rains here.. And this one:.Yup, that’s for real.
When the roof used to leak, pieces of cement board would fall out and land on the stairs below.Thankfully this is just in a back hall leading down to the basement that we don’t use very often, so it’s not a high priority.It definitely reinforces my point that our house is far from perfect though, doesn’t it?.
Scary Basements.Speaking of basements, I can’t believe that I’m about to show you ours.. Let’s just get it over with.. Again, as far as old farm houses go, this one is actually pretty good.
I swear that one of the basements we looked at was half swamp.
This one is at least dry enough to store our stuff in and keep a usable extra fridge in.At least no one can ever accuse me of not keeping it real around here!.
Next I took a paper towel and some.rubbing alcohol.
and gave them a good wipe down to get them nice and clean.Mine were actually a bit crusty and rusty too but you’ll see that it didn’t matter at all.
