Shining light on the removal of odd smells

Our labor of love, aka, the apartment remodel from h*ll on a mound hill just got a tad better and a tad worse all in one day. We happily discovered a fancy new odor removing machine, recommended by a person who is interested in renting the place once we're done renovating it. Day 1 we… Continue reading Shining light on the removal of odd smells

Over 100 days and still not done?

We've (Mr. more than me) spent well over 100 hours on apartment renovations over the almost 20 years we've owned them.  We've done some major work.  Sometimes, it's just a quick clean, and re-rent kind of deal.  We love those times.  Who wouldn't?  I know I love the charm of some of our places, especially… Continue reading Over 100 days and still not done?

Spring into disinformation, or not

On March 19, 2020, Spring arrived, 7 days after the shutdown of our state of Wisconsin occurred.  One week of shutdown seemed easy to handle.  Heck with frequent arrival of snow in March in Wisconsin, why not just stay home? It seemed silly to be the only one out and about anyhow. Three days before… Continue reading Spring into disinformation, or not
