Waste Line Backs Up Again! WTF?

See that crap on the pipe? That's what we had pulled out of our supposedly new pipe on Saturday when the renter's tub started backing up again! Can you believe it. After running the snake, the high-pressured water blaster and a camera, our plumber assures us that we are good to go. After all this, we're going to insist on some kind of warranty before we write the final check.

More Loot: Sideboard

Here's another piece of loot from the in-laws--a lovely sideboard who's only drawback is that it is a little too large for a brownstone scale...As a result, we're having to put it in the living room instead of the dining room where it barely fit between the fireplace and the wall.

The Craziest Boxsprings We've Ever Seen

Check out these crazy box springs that are part of the beds we got last weekend--they look like they are some kind of torture or s&m device. We drove a truckload of family heirlooms back from Virginia last week and these were among the booty. They are part of a pair of brass beds from Germany in th 1880s. We'll get a photo of the beds when they are assembled in the guest room asap.

Bringing Order to the Records

Alright, so we're going to start putting up some more stuff now even though it feels like we have a long way to go before the interiors are "finished". First up: We've gotten most of our records put away though we still have some wiring issues to sort out--plus we have yet to unearth a couple of components from the depths of some unmarked box.

Nipping the Mold in the Bud

We also started to get some nasty mold popping up post-flooding which we had to nip in the bud.
