>later>

how about now?

and does one show up twice?

[Deborah K.]

I still cannot see them.

This makes me grateful that the bullfrog is so handy.
He refuses to hire out anything he can do himself,
but any delays are easier to deal with--and afford.

[zonker]

I still cannot see them.

hmmmm.

anyone else not seeing the pictures of the house interior?

[BlueDragon]

No images here either -- reported as "does not exist" or "no longer available."

[Pugsy]

I don't see them either. Sometimes I can use the right click mouse "view image" trick but all that does it take me to imgur and I see the same words
not available image ...also when I look in the url addy line it says "image removed.png"
The addy line looks weird to me but I can't put a finger on what seems off.
Which line in the box of addresses did you copy?

Were you maybe not logged in?????

[zonker]

[BlueDragon]

Very nice!
I am envious, at least, I think I am.
Always a bit green anyway.

Once the appliances and trim go in....it will really start looking like a home.
Finishings transform things 1000%.

Every time I do some little something to "trim something out" or "dress something up" my husband grumbles about it and then says the proverbial words..."you were right, it does look a lot better"... I don't know why he even bothers to grumble "it works fine, doesn't need replacing".
Like when I went through and changed out all the hardware on all the cabinets. Hinges and pulls or handles...all new. Hell the old ones were probably 50 or 60 years old. I couldn't get exactly what I wanted because I had to work with existing hole placement but I got real close and for not all that much money. I think I spent about $170 total. EBay deal....and a lot of work removing all the old hardware but I got it done. Did the bathroom cabinets as well.
You know what's funny. They still make and sell the exact ones I removed....no way was I going to put them back on though. I wanted a change. I was tired of the old ones for sure.

I haven't wanted to replace the cabinets though. I know they are quite old and we sometimes have to repair one but they are a beautiful knotty pine and obviously hand made on site. They don't make cabinets like that anymore. Lots of rustic character which I prefer anyway.
