April showers, brings May flowers

My showers started in March and are currently carrying over to April. Life has been super chaotic for my household as we undergo major plumbing renovations. We decided to purchase a house built in 1962 and are now experiencing all the wonders that come with a home from that time period.

Cast iron plumbing, now back in the day it seemed like the best plan ever, however now it is just a mess for those living in houses built during that time period. Right now, I feel as if this weather saying is describing my life. As I hope all of my house issues will get resolved and buttoned up this month and bring May flowers. Now, if your new here “Hi, my name is Krista and well I am renovating a house in Boulder City,NV.” Stay tuned to see the journey as it unfolds right here on my blog and soon to be YouTube channel.

We are now on our third week in a motel because our house is currently a disaster area. If there is an issue, I am pretty sure we have hit them all. However, once all the storms passed flowers will bloom and we should have a beautiful home with new bones. During this renovation we have hit everything from electrical wires, not being put in the ground properly and having the concrete smoking and popping underneath and issues with third party contractors. If you are looking at purchasing an older home the best advice i have for you is to get an inspection of the pipes under the house. Yes, it might cost you $450 but replacing the pipes can cost you $20k or even more. If there is an issue see if you can negotiate your price to help deflect the cost of this plainly plumbing bill.
