In fact the plumber was just here yesterday and broke the news to me that the pan in my master bath shower needs to be replaced. Water is leaking out of my shower... I hate the thoughts of spending all that money for probably a stupid pin hole!!!<br /><br />I really would rather use to repaint my entire house. That was my new year plans. Now it looks like a new pan and my beautiful tile work will have be taken out and redone :(<br />♥ JoyJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11198238631600746173noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-56165081281558965032010-01-16T18:13:32.331-08:002010-01-16T18:13:32.331-08:00Hey, Thanks for stopping by...yes SIX miles...goi...Hey, Thanks for stopping by...yes SIX miles...going to do a half a marathon May 1st...come join me...you are spring chick... exercise is the best age defying thing we can do...then get the new RED Vespa....Woo Hoo..ain't for city galshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938751007704247232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3211916946754614168.post-53123951193984224252010-01-16T17:43:44.222-08:002010-01-16T17:43:44.222-08:00I lived in a big two-story Colonial for twenty yea...I lived in a big two-story Colonial for twenty years, so I hear ya on the repairs.
