Wrapped one project only to start another

[Anonymous]

Somehow or other we finished one project on schedule with half the crew I needed. That meant I cut my labor cost by half but increased my load by 100%.
Glad that's done with.
Now I have no set in stone plans until Monday. That's the start of the next project, a weeklong course I signed up for on AI and palpating. Don't know where this will lead but learning something has got to be good. I'm looking forward to doing nothing for a few days.

Glad to hear you met the schedule, in spite of your help, and you get to pocket some extra $$...always a good thing. Enjoy a few days off. It's always feast or famine when you're self employed!

The hardest thing about palpating is learning not to swat mosquitoes.

I thought this was going to be about handywork like I do. My faucet outside turned on but would not turn off, so I tore it down to find out that it was so corroded, rusted and falling apart that I couldn't put it back together or even replace the seal. So I had to bust open the cement around the pipe and cut a hole in the sheet rock in the oldest girl's room to take the whole piece out. I wrapped up replacing the faucet. Now I only have to start to repair the sheet rock and recement the wall.

You tube is dangerous. I watch a 5 minute video and then I'm convenced I'm Bob Villa.

I've done it, but never on purpose. Those gloves aren't made from Hefty's.

I was replacing the seal on a toilet in the house. Pulled the toilet and laid the top lip against the wall on a tile floor near the shut off valve. Lid slid, broke the shut off inside the wall. Ran out to turn the well off. Ended up having to remove the double oven that on the other side of the wall, remove some of the framing for the double oven, fix the break and put a new shut off on. All I replace a wax Ring on a toilet

My wife got on me for tracking some dirt on the stairs so I pulled my boots off and got the vaccum cleaner and began vacuming the stairs in my socks. I slipped and fell down the stairs and went through the sheet rock in the wall so I had to replace the sheet rock an paint the whole hallway cause we couldn't find a paint to match. Now I ask you. Was a speck of dirt on floor worth all that?

Did you ever get the dirt cleaned up?

If you had let someone truly qualified to run a vacumn do it you would not have had a problem. In the future learn to delegate!

Hey, I agreed to hire a maid and I'd have thought ..... well it really don't matter what I think does it? We have soaps and towels in the house that I'm only to look at and not use. Candles I'm not to light. :???: I'm outnumbered now with the boys gone so I'm in their world now and these sweet smelling ones have some strange ideas on things. I best stop now. They have ways of knowing things. I better go. Go and get the milk an eggs and I best not forget to do the dishes before I go to bed. ;-) :lol2: :lol2:
