I picked up the Great Dane and Chihuahua of house plants at Home Depot yesterday because I couldn't help myself; all of the plants in the store were looking so …
I finally got fed up with the full-size bed in the master bedroom. Who lives like this anyways? Imagine me. Jammed in there. 5'9" body hardly fitting end-to-end. I was too used …
Damn you, troublesome windows. See, the foundation of the house is poured concrete, but only rises about 8" above the surface of the earth. Baked right into the foundation were five …
