Cheryl, my usual cleaning spray consists of 1/3 part each white vinegar, rubbing alcohol, and water. I use Dawn and Oxyclean for stains.
Ah, yes. Thank you.

Just whipped up a batch of apple squares. I love this recipe, so quick and easy, not to mention delicious.

I researched how to remove rust from old knives and citric acid came up. I got a tall skinny vase and filled with hot water and some citric acid, after a couple hours most of the rust was gone! These were my granddad's knives passed down to my dad, and they had been neglected, glad I could save them!
I had a neighbor who was an auto mechanic. He told me that when they want to clean parts of the engine, or remove rust, they soak the part In Coco Cola. The garage would buy more than 100 cases each month. Makes you wonder what it does to your stomach.
Waiting...still not in any house, moving into a studio apartment on Wednesday. We've been unable to get the loan for the Main Street house because it is zoned commercial. So looking at another house a block away. We will be able to move in and "rent to own" at the end of this month. We can live in our house until we close on it, the lease for the people who are living there is over at the end of this month.
It has a deck, a garage, mature yard with a couple little trees. It's two bedroom and a HUGE! kitchen. Enough counter and cupboard space for making a Thanksgiving feast and be able to turn around. I'll be able toput everything away in the kitchen. Will take pics once we move in.
Thanks, Dawg...anytime family and friends can get together and celebrate something with lots of food, is good. Especially good when everyone likes each other!
Sounds like you just may have hit the jackpot. A little prayer went up in the hopes that the present tenants will move out early and you don't have too much cleaning up to do after them. I can't help but get excited for you. A new adventure for the both of you.
Is this the first home that you and Shrek will have owned?
yes
Why did the owners fix up that other property for a home when it is listed as a commercial building? Surely they knew. Don't they now have to get it changed from commercial to residential? I will be curios to see if they are ever able to sell it as residential.
I don't know, have not been privy to their thinking.
What does the new home come with? Like fridge, washer/dryer, etc. And what kind of stove? The other was move in condition. Here's hoping this one is too for you. I would hate to think that you and Shrek will be spending more time fixing it up instead of enjoying your new home. Good luck and here's hoping the time flies by for the both of you.
You certainly don't want to deal with an immature yard. Heaven only knows what kind of mischief it might get into....mature yard with a couple little trees...
We've had a wood-burning fireplace in each of our three houses. Love them! Still, I'm thinking a gas option on the next one would be nice. Getting harder to haul wood as we get older....It also has a fireplace in the family/dining room.
As one gets older having stairs gets annoying. It's so much nicer to have the laundry on the same level as the bedroom. I'm so tired of shlepping dirty laundry from the top floor to the basement and back up when it's clean. I'm sure Shrek will appreciate having everything on one level.Stove, trash compactor, dishwasher, refrigerator, washer and dryer. The kitchen is a fixer upper, the appliances will be changed out over the next few years. The appliances are 1970's yellow, so is the sink and it will be changed, too. Eventually I will replace the Formica counter top. It is all on one level. It also has a fireplace in the family/dining room.
I lived in a house with a wood burning fireplace that had gas too....
