We have all of the weight-lifting gear piled up next to my computer and the kitchen is alright but the living room is a huge disaster. My mother in law started painting but some of the wall has been torn off and it looks pretty crappy. We moved an old piano out of the house (cause it wasn't ours nor was it in any kind of good shape) but while we got it outside...we cracked the tile right outside the door and it's in bits. Nothing matches in this house and it needs COMPLETE RENOVATIONS.<BR/>I forsee future disagreements and Angel spending many nights on the couch.

It drives me crazy, but prompted me to get my own tool kit and do a lot of things myself.
