Last weekend my parent's came down for the first visit. My dad saw the house during inspection but my mom had only seen pictures. They brought down a La-Z-Boy that they recovered and rebuilt for me. The one I had they took back to do a similar update too. Did you know that all real La-Z-Boy chairs have removable backs? Me either. One the one chair the back had never even been locked into place so just yank and back comes off.
My parent's looked over the progress I have made in the upstairs and in the basement. My mom wasn't impressed by the curtains that were hastily put up to show the house. She took a bunch of measurements of all the windows to help me choose some different ones in the future.
My dad helped me replace the faucet in my kitchen sink. The one I had was quite old, leaked and the spray hose was broken. We got a new fancy one with a built in soap dispenser and has the water control on separate stalk from the water spout. They are quite heavy and hopefully don't rip about the sink.
My dad also helped me talk through the basement work. We went over waterproofing, electrical, walls, flooring and other odds and ends. He gave me some pointers and also was sure that I was nuts overall.
What did my dad like best about his visit? My orange/citrus flavored tooth paste. He had never seen such a thing and was truly amazed.
