[speaker001:] all right I guess our I we're in the process of a home repair right at this point because we're we're painting the outside of our house I don't know I guess that's you would consider that a home repair certainly uh
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] uh and interesting enough this time we're changing the color which makes uh an addition uh we've what does your most recent
[speaker002:] oh we just barely did that too
[speaker001:] you did that recently too huh make does it make a big difference
[speaker002:] yes oh yes we have brick on the outside and uh it the colors that were there changed the and the colors we painted changed the entire look of the house completely
[speaker001:] that's neat isn't it nah
[speaker002:] yes it was really exciting it was fun
[speaker001:] I was really uh really tired of the color and it's it's it's helping we're not quite through but it's it really is looking good uh we went through a process of of uh home repairs on a on a rental house we had probably the most uh extensive and uh the interesting part of it was how much we learned about what we could do um didn't have very much money and so we had to to do it ourselves in a kind of a slow process but we learned how to do uh retile bathtubs and and um oh just all kinds of things that are kind of unusual
[speaker002:] um-hum well the other thing that we did was the roof of our house and uh we did that a different color also of course uh
[speaker001:] ah yeah
[speaker002:] being a woman most of these things were done by uh the men and uh so I wasn't directly involved but uh
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] they really were helpful I know to our house
[speaker001:] it's nice to not have a drip through from the ceiling from the roof isn't it
[speaker002:] yes yes
[speaker001:] that's awful um uh Howard and I were talking about home repair the other night in uh in connection with Scouting you got a Scouter uh coming up and uh uh I think it's neat for for young people to learn how to uh take care of their of of a household you know like uh fixing faucets and drippy faucets and putting in panes of glass and stuff like that
[speaker002:] that's right well as a matter of fact one thing uh I have a young son and one thing we did was we had paneling on the inside of our uh front of our house or the hallway of our house rather and we were repainting the the front room in the hall there and we took down that paneling and he helped me and and uh he was it it was fun to work with him
[speaker001:] um-hum
[speaker002:] and uh and help putty up the holes together and and do things like that he was a
[speaker001:] how did the how did the paneling paneling looks lots better do you do you like it better
[speaker002:] oh I like it so much better it makes it so much lighter you know it really um
[speaker001:] yeah yeah yeah
[speaker002:] you know and people who have been to my house before and and then now really have liked it much much better too so it's been fun
[speaker001:] yeah that's nice isn't it nice to have it come out to uh uh positive and look look good
[speaker002:] yeah yeah exactly
[speaker001:] yeah well we have a lot that needs to be done we have uh we have uh carpeting and and uh we did have a a new uh floor put in our kitchen and um I have my mother living with us and so she was in a a room with a carpet and course she's quite aged she's ninety three now so that meant she had problems now and then and it it was really good to get the carpet out of there and put a a linoleum down so it was easier to clean and see where the dirt was and so that was a really positive uh uh it was fairly expensive though I'm I was impressed I think that uh we we had somebody do it and and it was it seems to me like it's probably more expensive to put down linoleum almost than it is to put down carpet
[speaker002:] hm that's interesting
[speaker001:] kind of depends on the on the quality of carpet I suppose but
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh in in the case of the linoleum they have to rip up everything and and fix the floor so it's uh I don't know whatever but they have to put stuff on the floor and it's uh kind of a process so
[speaker002:] oh I bet it does
[speaker001:] well it sounds like you've had some pretty good experiences with uh with uh um home repair
[speaker002:] uh-huh we have it's been really fun
[speaker001:] yeah all right happy home repairing okay bye-bye
[speaker002:] well okay you too bye-bye
