As some of my readers may know, I moved into a new home earlier this year.

While it fixed a LOT of issues with our old house, this one has its own batch of issues.

If I were to be able to have home improvement done that I’d like, at no cost to me, I think I would have to go with:

Having a driveway poured down, so my aunt and I can stop having to cope with dirt, and especially so we don’t have to worry about the heavy rains we’ve had lately.

Maybe a dog house of some sort for Chilo, so we can put him outside during the day, but give him something to crawl into, should it start pouring. (we’ll just have to make sure to put it at a high point in the yard, so he doesn’t go floating away :))

Some electrical work around this house would be nice: We’ve got a lot of those old 2-Prong outlets, but a lot of our stuff is meant for 3-Prong outlets. Hopefully that’d be easy to fix.

Handrailing to go around our porch area would be nifty, too, as well as a map of where a bunch of these in-house light switches go to.

What would you do to your house? PayPerPost would love to know.

So far, anything that could go wrong, has gone wrong.

I get threatened by Sprint, telling me that they’re going to cut my phone service off (to which I say, HOLD UP WAIT A MINUTE LET ME PUT SOME PIMPIN IN IT, and explain that they just moved my billing schedule. I had made most of my payment on the first week of this month, which meant I only owed $30. This billing change raises it up to $117. They apologized.)

My headaches got more severe, inducing white spots in my vision. My left arm also malfunctioned, going weak, causing me to drop everything I put in that hand. My left hip also went gimpy. I spent $125 on a doctor’s visit, and she suggests I go to the hospital or to a standalone center, and get an MRI or a CT Scan from around the shoulders on up. She suspects a pinched nerve or something.

My main hard drive seems to have toasted itself. I’m having a spot of trouble getting a copy of Windows 2000 (which I have the legit key stored in my cellphone).

I’m exhausted and my arm hurts.
However, if I take my $60 prescription (OUCH), I’ll fall asleep before getting and installing windows.

If I don’t get this done, I’m not going to church in the morning. :/
