Last weekend, we cooked some pulled pork in Jim's sun oven. It was great! It's an oven that uses the warmth from the sun to cook food. In the right conditions, it can get super hot (I think even up to 400degrees). For us, we cooked from about 9-2 and had periods of clouds, but maintained a temp of about 250. So the pork was a perfect dish. Here are some pictures of it:
We also scored some church pews (for a donation) from a local church that is being sold. I am really hoping that Jim makes me a dining/kitchen table. Our current table is mini-sized because it was all that could fit in our GA kitchen. We have more room here. Poor Jim - I have a list 10 miles long of projects for this house.
Speaking of the list of projects. Oh boy. We knew we needed to redo our bathrooms. Here are pictures of the master bath. Not the cutest, but functional (we thought).
Yesterday, Jim came home from work and took a shower. I then went down to the basement to do laundry and noticed a small pool of water in the laundry room and some drip marks down the wall. Jim went behind the laundry room (our basement is sectioned into little rooms with drywall) and found a bigger puddle and we could see where it was dripping from the joists. Oh no. So, our shower leaks. We're not sure how, but Jim suspects it is getting behind the tiles. So, crap. Well, that bathroom we were going to live with for a long while just got moved up on the list. Since our list is long and expensive, our temporary fix involves not using that shower for a year until we are ready to redo that bathroom. We'll just have to shower in the hall bathroom (and thank God for that one). Ah, the joys of home ownership.
