Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 I'm happy you didn't fall through the floor. Enjoy your new Christmas toilet lol Donna Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Me too! Ah the joys of buying a wreck of a house. It will be so nice to have indoor plumbing again. Funny how one takes it for granted until one needs to trek to the back forty in the middle of the night, flashlight and shovel in one hand and the Sears Roebuck catalog (aka toilet paper) in the other. http://jeannefromgeorgia.blogspot.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 Ah Jeanne. This reminds me of my grandparents' house in the Welsh mountains where the outside toilet was up some steps at the back of the house - seemed like halfway up the mountain to me as a small child. The wind whistled through the gaps in the stonework and toilet paper was torn up squares of newspaper impaled on a nail in the wall. I hated having to head off there at night with my torch, frightened that snakes might be lying in wait for me. Enjoy your new indoor plumbing and get Carl to check out that there are joists beneath the kitchen! Christie , Jeanne B <treazured wrote: > > Me too! Ah the joys of buying a wreck of a house.

Guest guest Posted December 27, 2009 Report Share Posted December 27, 2009 How marvelous, another Taffy! Tad (aka Father) was Welsh, Mum Native American (Iriquois Nation, itty bitty tribe called Ashinipeg - not sure of spelling). Nothing like dashing outside, trying to not have an accident or get accosted by the livestock. Â Carl let the blind dog go in the back yard alone today and the beast dug an elephant pit. Naturallly I fell in the bloody thing whilst attempting to answer nature's call. Needless to say, I've had to change my jammies, throw my slippers in the wash and do the sponge bath thing in the kitchen. ARGH! Blasted cats at least have litter boxes. Â Re-did the kitchen about 15 years ago and yup, you guessed it, no joists there, either. We bought the house because of the 300 plus year old oak in the front yard and acreage.

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2009 Report Share Posted December 28, 2009 Sorry, Jeanne - I'm mostly Paddy rather than Taffy - the family was just passing through Wales, although we used to call them Mam and Tad (I had forgotten that - thank you!). So I'm part English, part Irish via Wales and a domiciled Scot, which pretty much takes in the whole British Isles. Sorry to hear of your fall into the heffalump trap - staying at your place sounds pretty hazardous! Christie , Jeanne B <treazured wrote: > > How marvelous, another Taffy!
