Want to sell some of it? I think I know someone who could bring it to me the next time he goes to Mobile. Hey, James! Thanks for the kind words, we are happy with how it turned out! Jess is very happy not to have to wear shoes to do the laundry anymore lol. Haha, we have grand plans for it otherwis...

Yes, I saw that! I originally thought they were newer, but this confirms it.

The better floor is a huge improvement. It looks nice with the warm wall color, too. Thank you! We are trying to make the space function a bit better. I’ve decided to repurpose some of the hardware from around the house - hooks, brackets, etc., found in closets and the redone bathroom. We found som...

There are these little push-pin looking things on the sash that I wondered about for a couple of years but never made the connection! What is the function of the push-pin looking things ?
