Young House Love is annoying
I know some of you follow YHL. I'm so annoyed by how extreme they are regarding health and home projects. I'm protective about what my kid is exposed to, but this:
some metal fencing like this can have traces of lead in it, so although we weren?t sure ours did, we handled it only with gloves on waaay away from Clara (on the tile floor of our sealed-off-from-the-rest-of-the-house sunroom). Layering on a few thorough coats of spray paint is like sealing old lead-painted walls with fresh new coats of non-lead paint (which is the recommended method, as long as the old paint isn?t flaking or peeling).
Too much. It's a foffing light fixture made from new materials 6+ feet off the ground. Jeebus.

What the hell is that thing?
I can't handle the level of enthusiasm on that blog. I think I'd like ones were more "yeah, and then we took off the panel and found the previous owner had put the wiring together with gum wrappers and while I'm happy we found this before some catastrophic fire, we had to scrap all our plans. Sometimes I get sick of not having any free weekends because everything revolves around these stupid projects that never go right."

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
Tomorrow's post:
$herdog and I don't let the bean play on the lawn unprotected because our previous owners may or may not have used pesticides and/or fertilizer treatments. We make sure she's fully equipped in a body condom and gas mask before any outdoor play. Just to be safe.
I want to hear the stories!!!
I hope that spray paint they used was super special No VOC paint, so that the bean doesn't ingest any fumes! Gag. And while that clothespin lamp is quite heinous, I'm not willing to say it's the ugliest thing they've ever done until they post the end result of this closet disaster:

I'm surprised they didn't test it for lead. Haven't they done that on, like, every other thing they've bought that could possibly come into contact with Clara?
Today's post annoyed me too. Nobody cares that you mowed a tiny strip of lawn and left the rest looking raggedy. Your yard still looks bad and your neighbors are still talking about it.

Yeah. they are decorating a child's closet. I suspect they might be getting ready to run out of projects in this house too.
I still can't get over how bad the horses are...

I loved their old house so I was excited to see what they would do with this one. Every project they do I fall more out of love with them. I don't even think I have lukewarm like feelings for them now. It feels like they are trying way. too. hard now.
I have to laugh that the D&R board has a ban on YHL posts.
What? I don't think so.
315 just posted one and she's a reg.
I can't believe they just posted about a potato stamp. Just to recap, this week we've had mowing the lawn, potato stamping, hanging a shoe bin, and a hideous light fixture.

Yeah, that was when I actually used to DO things.
Blogging requires something to blog about, right? I assume you're not interested in the fence we built a few weeks ago. Or the fact that I replaced our kitchen sink drain pipe. Because that's literally the only home improvement we've done this year.
Wait that's a lie. I made some curtains.
I have like three tiny things that have to be done in order to sell the house and then that's it. No more.
Until we move.

Bloggity Blog - You know you want to...
Oh my god. Some of the peoples reaction on here are absolutely disgusting! What is wrong with you people? If you don't like their style don't read the blog! Or let's see you post pictures of your house on the internet for everyone to see, and I bet you a million dollars your house isn't even 1/4 as nice as theirs!
To each their own, you people must be extremely miserable to say such horrible things about someone you don't even know. Good God.
...how the hell did someone find this 5 months later?
I bet her FUPA's name is Shane, like the gunslinger/drifter of literature.--HappyTummy

I was reading this wondering why in the hell we were talking about that light again. Deja vu.
People have different tastes new person. Let it go and simmer down.
Ha! Me too. Unfortunately, I was going to even make a comment about that light again until I saw the post date.
