Poor Cheryl, you must've felt so bad even though it was an accident. Sometimes it seems that things always have to worse before they get better. Hang in there kiddo! I'm rooting for you and your husband to get that job done!

Yes, I know how blessed you feel having BG to do things around the house. My Tom was always that way too. We finally got a half inch of rain this week, first time this month. Real dry here too. And oh the poor kitty...nothing worse is there? I have a couple posts started, maybe I'll finish them today. I'm in a lot of pain, so think I'll stay home and not go see my Tom today. He gets to come home for a walk through tomorrow, then home permanently Friday. There are lots of decisions to make, and it's hard to do it alone...<br /><br />Good luck on your projects, I know you will be so...excited when it's all done!!<br /><br />Blessings to your day..<br />GertGerthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01155756653275943469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-32144319320098548522015-10-24T22:01:58.988-05:002015-10-24T22:01:58.988-05:00I can remember when I was little when we stayed wi...I can remember when I was little when we stayed with my aunt and uncle out at their farm...that we had to go outside to use the outhouse and I didn't like it at all.!!<br />~Cindycynthia lee designshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03153290269651314939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-30979945999963345522015-10-24T16:16:51.287-05:002015-10-24T16:16:51.287-05:00Hi Cheryl~
Oh dear, your poor mom . . . poor you!...Hi Cheryl~<br /><br />Oh dear, your poor mom . . . poor you! I'm not sure that many could survive an outhouse these days, let alone a chamber pot! My husband can relate, except they didn't have "pots". When it was cold, and it gets cold here, they would just have to get dressed and run! We really do have it so easy don't we, I can remember complaining about doing the laundry once to my grandmother - big mistake! She proceeded to tell me how she had to do the laundry, and it sounded miserable! After that conversation, I never complained again.<br /><br />Shame on that naughty cat! I hope you find the culprit a good home... :0)<br /><br />Yeah . . . I remember those bathroom posts! I'm so glad you are finally getting a new bathroom! My vote is the light aqua - I'm not a grey person either.<br /><br />Have a wonderful weekend!<br /><br />Hugs,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-77258084945344581032015-10-24T12:39:15.927-05:002015-10-24T12:39:15.927-05:00OH!

I absolutely remember the chamber pots, and of the stories that went along with them, I also remember the outhouses! Loved the story, you and I need to exchange stories, I have some good one! ~LOl <br />Love the colors for the bathroom, ad oh how I relate to trying to choose the right colors for our downstairs in 2011 when we had the water leak, I nearly drove my poor husband to pulling his hair out!<br />Good luck with getting the bathroom finished!<br />Hugs, from me,<br /> SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843762646877115013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-28957424858249559312015-10-24T11:53:08.735-05:002015-10-24T11:53:08.735-05:00Oh!

Poor you, too, cuz you have carried that through your life- that remembrance of an "oops" moment. <br />I am glad you are getting the bathroom done and found someone (finally) that really WANTS to work. You are lucky to have a hubby that is handy-mine is not! NOT! NOTTTT!!!!!!!!! It will be so great when it is all done, Cheryl, and well worth the wait.<br />So glad to catch up with you-It has been busy times here, too. xo Diana<br /><br />ps.IF you have time pop over and sign up for the giveaway for my son's newest venture.NanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5215549670320492394.post-35014224213234290842015-10-24T00:34:01.081-05:002015-10-24T00:34:01.081-05:00I really enjoyed reading this one; which I always ...I really enjoyed reading this one; which I always do. I remember using the outhouse at my Aunt's ranch and off and on through they years at different places. It is not my favorite bathroom for sure. I can't imagine having to carry a chamber pot to empty it and I wouldn't have been happy about cleaning up a spill from them. Bless your heart! I will really look forward to the pictures of your bathroom makeover. <br />Not fun that you have a cat that is peeing; I have been there and done that and it is a deal breaker for me too.

Our winters aren't quite so cold as yours. My grandfather eventually was able to enclose the back porch and it became the biggest bathroom ever! I don't think he realized that he didn't need to devote so much space to a bathroom and I know I sure missed the big swing on the back porch.<br /><br />I know exactly what you mean about not finding anyone to work for you in rural areas. It is so frustrating. I had hired a man to clean out my mom's storage shed last November. I told him he could have anything in it he wanted. He was going to come to next day and do it. I never heard from him again.

I think we were the last in town to have an inside toilet. It was not always easy...but we survived and became strong. I agree, it's hard to find someone to do a job even if you are willing to pay extra. Ted and I learned to do many things by ourselves...just to get it done. I wish you and your husband luck on the plumbing. I wish our bathroom was twice as big. LOL..
