Sh#$$er's Full!

If you've seen Christmas Vacation, you know what I mean.  If not, go watch it now.  Not much going on this week, so this won't have any pictures or big flashy updates.  Since things were ahead of schedule, and I chose to do most of the painting, this week was in a holding pattern until the floor people were available.   If you know me very well, you know I'm getting a bit of living/dining room fever.  Hurry up and wait are not terms in my vocabulary.  I might have to tap into my Christmas "remodel survival kit" that James gave me, choosing between Patron, Advil or spa...   Seems like the majority of the project currently rides squarely on the shoulders of the flooring and countertop sub's.  The granite we selected comes in quite large pieces, so if you are in need of some Black Pearl granite, we can make a deal.  Progress seems to wait for those two key elements.  Weeks 7 & 8 will be crazy.

I mentioned earlier that we had a lovely porta potty/honey bucket (insert your personal favorite) in the driveway for the workers.  It was for the workers of our remodel, but frankly, it has become quite popular with all workers.  UPS, FedEx, USPS...  seems that anyone who drives around delivering things for a living has somehow discovered (there must be an app for that) that if they need to relieve themselves, stop by our place and unload.  When the company came to clean it, they had to wait for the UPS guy to finish his business!  Our mailman stops by hours before he actually delivers on our street.  It could provide hours of amusement to just watch the trucks come and go.  We talked about installing a coin slot to offset the cost of the remodel, but we're too cheap to spring for that.  Casey (our project supervisor) said if you did, they'd just tip it over, and our driveway slopes towards the house, so no. 

Gotta go...

  1. that is hilarious! I guess there is a need for bathrooms mid-route. Glad I get to work within close distance of a restroom
