What Drives You Nuts About Your House?

[sunshine_sieben]

MMMM, mine sounds petty noww, but here it is:

- small ugly kitchen with textured benchtops. WTF? who wants a textured benchtop? It's so hard to wipe clean. Well, better than my old house where the benchtop was covered in orqange mosaic tiles from the seventies. Can you imagine the grout?
- Bathrooms sooo tiny and in need of overhaul (some tiles falling off, needs regrouting etc., shower screens cracked).
- Bathtub is shallow and short. Useless for adults. but great for DD.
- windows and doors don't seal and are warped from moisture.
- nasty carpet in the living room and bedrooms. it's not that old, but looked ancient and dirty when first laid. I would so love floorboards or tiles. Much easier to keep clean.
- Leaky roof. Was fixed so manyh times. But water always seems to get in somewhere.
- Sloped backyard. Much of the area can't really be used. And the top of the "hill" has no grass on it, because water just runs off. So t's like a dirty sandpit. All that fine sand causes lots of dust in the house, too. Especially when our dog keeps rolling in it.

Thanks Brontide, I have been toying with the idea of a sandpit for DD's birthday. But was afraid of the "sand goes everywhere" phenomenon. You have convinced me that my fears are not unfounded.
