MACYs department stores...I oughta just rent a room in there.

Wait till you are just about done, then it will be time to sell the house and start all over again in a new one.

Wanna get out of the jobs?

You ever noticed how much a freshly clipped poodle's coat looks a lot like a thick napped paint roller?

Your're the best FS. I am beginning to think you do it on purpose.
Your just figuring this out?

It may not be on purpose but it sure seems to happen naturally. I fear going to work in the shop because of what might be on here at the end of the day.

Gypsy, Great picture!

Guy:

What shade of paint would look best with the dog's coat?

Alternate, more subtle plan:

Start demolition on a room or two, and just keep knocking down walls and cutting lumber every day without visible progress. Turn the saw on a piece of scrap lumber every time she calls or comes home. After a few weeks of plastic sheeting for walls and sawdust/drywall dust all over the place, it will be a long time before you get asked to start a project again. Note, if you shut down the only operating bathroom and put a water hose shower in the back and Porta-Potty in the front yard, you will really be ahead of the program.

Just a thought.

It's been an eternity since there's been a Friday when I allegedly have this much time off to look forward to. No deals unraveled that mean I have to work next week. I just don't know what to think of the notion!

Hey Guy, are you done with your constuction projects yet?
