Hey! Anyone have one of those whirlpool bath tubs? I've been looking at some pretty cheap on craigslist. The tub I now have (over 50 years old) is pretty beat up. Now would be the time to get another, I suppose ...
One thing, though: I really HATE the feel of those fiberglass tubs. Hate even showering in them. Plus, I hate cleaning them. So? unless I got a SMOKIN' deal on a fiberglass whirlpool tub ...
Any tips/pointers/observations more than welcome...

1) don't give the install job to Jeremy.
2) despite the thread name, do not install the whirlpool in the kitchen.
Yeah. To both.
I'm just dreamin' out loud, though, really.
On the way home from taking Mom to her luncheon I discovered quite by accident that Buck has learned out how to wriggle out of his seat belt.
We then came home for an hour, until it was time to go retrieve her (Mom.) I whistled.
No Buck
I called.
No Buck.
I went outside and did both.
No Buck.
Then, I saw him playing in the back yard.
Would have been OK, really, had he been in MY back yard, and not the neighbor's....
So? The two places I thought I had him somewhat secured, I discovered within the span of an hour I don't. Back to square one. I see a crappy old beat up bathtub and a six foot fence in my future....
Buck, in the neighbors yard looking for his balls?

get one. its worth every penny:) id sugges the rapid heating element but you prolly dont care about that in az. make sure the working parts are in good shape if you get used
One thing, though: I really HATE the feel of those fiberglass tubs. Hate even showering in them. Plus, I hate cleaning them. So? unless I got a SMOKIN' deal on a fiberglass whirlpool tub ... maybe you could invest in one of those walk in tubs with whirlpool options? might make it easy for your mom to take a shower or a bath. i wonder if medicare pays for them?

I'm just looking forward to the day I can again shower. On the up side, though, "Mr. Handyman" called at 6:15 -- he's on his way over.
I wonder if he's grown a beard or anything since the last time I saw him.
Of course, I suppose he might be entertaining the same question about me, I suppose.
And all just in time for SENIOR WEDNESDAY, when motorized shopping carts are at a premium, and aisle end displays in constant peril.
not to mention those sudden stops mid aisle!
The word for the day is "coupon." so did he show? did he work? was their progress?
Yup. He got here a little before eight, and worked on the plumbing most of the day. (I think I'm going to have to deal with the yard stuff.)
Right before he left, we talked a little -- I asked him what the timeline looked like at this point on the plumbing. He said he figured another day and a half for the major stuff (the pipes in the attic) and then some time after that for the faucets, fittings, etc. I presume replacing walls etc comes after that.
He left even MORE tools on the front porch, asking me, if it looked like it was going to rain, if I'd move them in. Since the skies were very clear, I said safely yes. I asked him when he would be back, he said "tomorrow" -- I asked if he had a ballpark time, he said: "About the same time." Worked for me.
And the next day? Yesterday? No show. No call, either. The only thing that changed around here was that towards evening, it began to get overcast, and looking "as if it might rain."
<looking at watch>

You may want to check his ankles at the front door for the Martha Stewart bracelet. Though you may not need to if he shows up for duty in a set of Maricopa pink coveralls.
one of the things i love about break weeks is the ability to putz around and do things that are not important in the grand scheme of things but fun anyway.
so today i concocted spa treatments! lol. no worries golden door ill never put you out of biz but i did discover some things that were just as effective as the 75 dollar 2 oz things i get at the dermatologist.
the best of the bunch of experiments was simple
1/4 c of virgin olive oil slightly warmed combined with 2 orange slices peels included mashed up in the food processor.
the ground peel is a great exfoliator, the citrus a good toner and skin brightener and the oil a good pore unclogger and moisturizer.
this has been a harsh winter thus far and my skin has been parched for moisture and this really did the trick.
the one thing i did find in my playing with this stuff is that honey and oatmeal makes a BIG mess and isnt worth the effort:)
LOL.
