clarentineWhile browsing through a website for Masonite door products, I encountered the following text:
Masonite's ultimate goal is to add beauty and value to your home. We make our doors to the highest standards and warrant them to perform over time. When you buy a Masonite door, you are buying piece of mind. (emphasis mine)
Which is ironic, in that the reason I went looking at websites about Masonite was the fact I discovered today that, in 1996, Masonite's exterior siding product was determined via a class action suit to be defective.
Apparently, so is their grammar checker. >:-)
***
We have the one good property located last week, and will be looking at two other candidates this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed that one of them will be close to the ideal of what we're looking for. We would like to shoot for closing the end of September, moving in October. I should have more photos to post on Sunday evening.
***
This whole pack-move-unpack, pack-move-unpack thing feels so familiar. We moved a lot when I was a kid (nine schools in 12 years of public schooling).
My husband and I listed the things we're looking forward to with a new house. Top of the list? Windows with proper screens. To say that the little sliding-insert screen things don't work is putting it mildly. It's been like living in a camp for the past five months; don't turn on a light after dark unless you wanted to attract moths and other flyers, especially upstairs!
My husband and son are both cheering that the three places that are our top choices all have dishwashers. I could do without - have done so for the past 15 years - but maybe this means I won't have to be the only one really paying attention to washing up.
Yeah, right.
