Nora, expect the inspectior to talk in terms of gloom and doom, they almost always do.
Yes to this. Just before we bought this house, the inspector told us that we had "potentially serious drainage problems." The builder fixed a few things and now the water flows where it should. In our CO house, the buyer's inspector said we also had serious drainage problems, which a landscaper fixed for $500. Both times I almost panicked and walked away from the deal, but both times it worked out well.
I'm told that I will almost never have to work on weekends and not even that many evenings.
Shocking, but true.
Wow, it's almost like you're an academic again.
"The dust will always be there; my kids won't."
Maybe I can dust WITH the baby!!
Only you'll probably dress much better than most on the academic side. Which is a very good thing.
Maybe I can dust WITH the baby!!
You'll have to switch to cloth diapers. I don't think that having her in plastic pampers will pick up much dust when you swipe her across the top of the mantel.
New from the makers of Swiffer, The Swaddle and Swab!
Just attach duster to baby's onesie, attach baby to pole and WHEEE! Airplane ride AND clean your ceiling fan!
(I'm fairly certain that was an SNL fake commercial a few years ago.)
