I just recaulked my tub!
That makes it sound like I whipped out the caulking gun and redid it. However this was a multi-day process that involved much toil and knuckle skinning getting the old caulk off. I also managed to buy the last jar of caulk softener at the hardware store, only to discover when I got home that it was leaking. After I got it all over my hands, I read the warning to avoid contact with skin. It also meant hours of desperate searching for the new blades for my exacto knife. Which I never did find but I did find every Sharpie I own, which I had been looking for the previous day.) Then I discovered that the really old tube of caulk I had was dried up, and the newer tube of caulk wasn't the right type for bathtubs. So another trip back to the hardware store. After that, it was a little messy, but okay, save for realizing that I had to get the caulk out of my hair before it dried.
Go, you, with the caulking, Sue! Major accomplishment, that.
Update:
Banana bread: almost done baking
chili: bubbling away
apartment: 1023 degrees
beer: calling my name.
I have to say that I've not had that problem with Amazon, but if I did I would avoid them too.
Have you guys seen a British decorating show called "The Wow Factor'? It's an hour long show and I missed about the first 20 minutes but I like the way they take you through the process from proposal to the end (I assume).
Also also - Megan, I'll be happy to help with apartment looking/advising. There's certain companies to avoid on Craigslist, and I can ask around to see if anyone has units coming up that they're not advertising.
Thanks juliana, if it comes to that, I certainly could use all the help I can get. I have to finish out the semester here, so it definitely won't be until at least mid-May.
I want to go to brenda's! Chili and beer.
I have some chicken stroganoff in the crock pot. I'm still in my pj's, though. And, I have no intention of getting out of them.
