Ooooooo my word. To anyone who owns an old house, THESE ARE FOR YOU. These photos are from the website There I Fixed It, and OMG!!! I can honestly say that I have found something similar in my house from those first two photos…

Just a little duct tape here and there… what else is duct tape for, right? (P.S. Tape is also handy for fixing plumbing leaks. Temporarily. That is, until some time after the unsuspecting homeowners buy the house! hahaha…h…a….
)

Wall? What wall?

An adjustable furnace vent! Now who’da thought?

Stairs is stairs!

I want a jacuzzi, too… but not that bad…

A real DIY car lock. Chains can also be used for road rage events…

Nooo noo noooooooo…

Wow. Now this IS inventive.

Uhh.

Oh my word. Who did this??

Got unions, too, huh?

Totally screwy! (you knew that was coming, didn’t you??)

And this one just made me laugh.




:) I’m a married mom of four teenage children. We live in Upstate New York. We bought an old 1855 home and acre property, over 10 years ago. We've been in the slow, agonizing process of living in the home while (trying) to renovate it. When I'm not renovating, I'm a freelance writer and blogger.
We've learned to dig a French drain, plant huge flower and vegetable gardens, wire a circuit panel, install furnace ducting, understand the enigmatic complexities of the plumbing system, and more. It's been *quite* the adventure.
