I have lived in trailers, old houses---------- and above all--------- My Dad sold Mobile Homes.... Oh yea...... Back in the day when they were oh so cheap.....lol. By the way----- We call them Can-doe-minuims maybe not a condo, but a candoe--- because they used to be so canish...... Currently I live in a home that is over 100 years old, that is slllllowly getting fixed up...... but we have old windows, old doors, any yea, the plastic every winter. I don't have nascar anywhere in the house, but my 10 year old things that professional wrestling is "where it's at" WWE is heaven for him, does that count? LOL? Can I be a member of the Club?------ If I can I promise to tell the story about my dad's fix for curtain rods that kept falling down. __________________ Monica Hulbert Each Journey is taken A STEP at a Time.

Trick for curtain rods- -can we guess? Duct tape and coat hanger? __________________ "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man" --Tagore Back to Top    Monica1965 New Recruit Joined: July-22-2008 United States of America Posts: 8 Posted: August-04-2008 at 12:46am | IP Logged LOL--- Oh no--------- We lived in a old house at this point with the big tall windows. Somewhere Mom had either got second hand curtains, or maybe sewed them herself, they weighed a ton. Anyway... the weight kept pulling the curtain rod nails right out of the old plaster walls. About the third time this happened. he went to the barn and got some 10" spike nails, drove them through the rods and into the walls, got the ladder out and actually BENT THEM OVER on the outside of the house!!!!! Then he told Mom, bet those curtains stay up now! And popped open a beer.  LOL How's that for a story, I must have only been about 4 or 5, but I can still remember it ! I still tease him about it too.............. __________________ Monica Hulbert Each Journey is taken A STEP at a Time.

LOL  Totally something my dad would have done! Here's a funny one - my dad was sitting inside our back door (which was actually our front door but the trailer was placed backwards) - anyway, he had a gun pointing up and was watching deer out the back of the trailer.  Keep in mind this was a populated area - country but houses around - he shouldn't have even been thinking of shooting something.  Anyway, he got excited about a deer or something and pulled the trigge.  The gun blew a hole in our roof.  Never patched it. __________________ "Every child comes with the message that God is not yet discouraged of man" --Tagore Back to Top    Michelle New Recruit The Animal Whisperer Joined: October-14-2005 United States of America Posts: 849 Posted: August-04-2008 at 6:09pm | IP Logged I didn't even know that story Amber, I could totally see your dad doing that too! Monica, I laughed out loud when I read that your dad bent the nails on the outside of the house. Too funny! Oooo....I have one for you guys. My ex husband and I had a trailer house, that was falling apart, he kept it and it is still falling apart, but what ever. Anyhow....Sadie our daughter found this stray dog one day, a Border Collie. He was sweet enough, but we lived by a hwy and didn't want him to get ran over, so when we went to work we put him in the house. When we got home, he was gone, he had chewed a hole through our back door!!!! Well....my idiot husband, ex now mind you, fixed it with particle board!!!!! He just screwed the full sized board to the side of the house! Heaven forbid he drive 1/2 mile down to the fire station where he worked to borrow a saw!!!!! You can't even open the door, since he screwed the board to the house!!! This was last summer, and my daughter tells me the door is still screwed shut, with the particle board covering the hole! I bet his new girlfriend is really impressed with his handyman skills!    __________________ Back to Top    formykids New Recruit Joined: May-24-2007 United States of America Posts: 67 Posted: August-04-2008 at 8:07pm | IP Logged You guys are cracking me up!! My mouth would have fallin to the floor if my husband nailed through the wall...if he didn't know that I would shoot him, he would probably do the same thing. Speaking of guns, deer and holes in the wall.... It was just before Bow season and my husbands cousin (who lived in an apartment) was testing his new bow....INSIDE the apartment. He did have a target that he was shooting at but missed and the arrow went straight through the wall and stuck in the grass outside. A few days later his wife noticed there were two holes her curtain....idiot! Here's the gun part (not anywhere near as funny as yours)...We live in an old farm house in the country in a cluster of abt 5 houses. There's a large field behind our house and some timber next to the field. We see tons of deer. My kids' second floor bedroom often doubles as a tree stand. My husband removes the screen and pulls the window down from the top and tada we are contestants for Jeff Foxworthy's Redneck jokes. Good thing we have understanding neighbors! __________________ Jenny Momma to Lane, Clayton and new baby Wyatt www.KidsNeedBooks.com Back to Top
