		<title>Oh, what fun a bathroom remodel can be!  Two unexpected hurdles</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s high time I posted an update about how our bathroom remodel is going. I&#8217;m sure if you asked my wife, she&#8217;d have expected it to be all over with about two weeks ago. However, we encountered two unexpected surprises: 1) &#8220;Honey, what&#8217;s that dripping sound coming from the TV ?&#8221; &#8212; One Friday [...]]]></description>

		<title>Bathroom remodel has begun!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, it&#8217;s been a LOOONG time since I posted here! That&#8217;s because we haven&#8217;t been doing any work on the house&#8230; until two days ago. We have finally decided to go ahead with the remodeling of our 2nd floor bath. Here are some &#8220;before photos&#8221; that we took (and posted here) two years ago: http://www.myoldhouse.com/gallery/categories.php?cat_id=20 [...]]]></description>

		<title>Power Line buried this past week</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Just wanted to make a sort of &#8220;diary post&#8221; here: This past week, Independence Power &#038; Light came out and buried the overhead line leading from our house to the pole in the back yard. They did this with our pre-approval&#8230;for free. At first, I was annoyed at what a mess they made: The pile [...]]]></description>

		<title>What to do about the Hot Water Heater&#8217;s Exhaust?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve finally started addressing some of the items identified in our &#8220;Home Energy Audit&#8221; from a few weeks ago. First, I made two separate lists: Stuff I can Do, Stuff I&#8217;ll need a Professional for. Then, for the Stuff I can Do list, I prioritized everything and identified a few tools and materials that I [...]]]></description>

		<title>Home Energy Audit Results!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greetings All ! Well, I finally broke down and paid for a home energy audit. The State of Missouri is now offering homeowners a tax deduction for a home energy audit, plus work that is done as result (because of the recommendations) of that audit. (See: http://dsireusa.org/incentives/incentive.cfm?Incentive_Code=MO83F&#038;re=1&#038;ee=1 AND http://www.dnr.mo.gov/energy/residential/homeenergyaudits.htm ) My thinking was, not only [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garage repainted!</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Greetings all! I&#8217;ve just posted photos of our garage, as it looks following our repainting efforts last week! Please note that the north and south &#8220;side windows&#8221; were NOT repainted&#8230;and therefore look kind of stupid at the moment. The reason for that is, right before we were going to paint this, we had the inspector [...]]]></description>

		<title>Joining the &#8220;353 Tax Abatement&#8221; Program</title>
		<description><![CDATA[BACKGROUND: The City of Independence has developed a &#8220;tool&#8221; for encouraging homeowners and landlords to fix up their property. This tool was successfully used to revitilize Harry Truman&#8217;s old neighborhood, which is just west of the &#8220;Square&#8221; in Independence. Two years ago, this tool was modified a bit and then &#8220;opened up for applicants&#8221; to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Garage Exterior Replaced</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I just uploaded 5 photos of our garage that were taken about 10 or so days ago. They show our garage immediately following our &#8220;exterior replacement project&#8221;. Before this work, the garage was covered with a deteriorating white fiber-board-like product called &#8220;T-111 board&#8221;. Rainwater plus a lack of horizontal flashing were causing this stuff to [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s face it, money has been tight in the past year! Money is still tight tight. But there are some things that just have to be done right now. And there [...]]]></description>
