Home Stuff...

So apparently the previous owners did a plumbing project, the only problem was when they replaced the tile (lucky for us it's only about a third of the tub that looks a little nasty!)they did NOT do a good job. The soap dish finally gave way and so we decided it was time to re grout the unstable tiles. So Eric is going through the tub and finding all the loose tiles, along with scraping out the nasty looking previous job.

Funny story about the shower, the whole time we've lived here we just thought we had a plumbing problem because the cold water faucet on the tub was barely letting any out, I guess we just got used to really hot showers. Well the other day I mentioned to Eric that we should probably call a plumber. He had a thought, so he went and looked at the water pressure for the bathroom and sure enough, it had just been set to let out very little cold water. And we've been dealing with it for 2 years!! We had to laugh at the idea that we had even thought about calling a plumber..that would have been embarrassing...




Our garden is completely overflowing, it definately looks great. The marigolds add so much color. I haven't been on top of the herbs like I should have been so we've lost a lot of cilantro but I think I should be able to preserve a fair amount before the garden is done for the year. The squash got a really nasty looking disease of sorts (I can't remember what Eric called it) where all the leaves looked like they were growing mold or something, we googled the problem and it suggested spraying on 1 part milk and 3 parts water, it worked great!


I really like the purple plants behind the garden, so pretty!

It's ALIVE!!! Our cherry tomato plant turned out SOO awesome! We have been picking like crazy and it's still producing like crazy. Delicious! It has grown over the fence into our neighbors yard so we told them they were welcomed to as many as they wanted, I don't know if they have or not though...
