So you done yet? Any chance you’ll actually make it out of bed before noon each day??
So I see you made some progress! When you are done do you want to come out here and work on a house?
We’ll split the profits, after materials, with you!
Ugh.
No thanks. LOL Although I do feel feel like I owe you (Tolo) for all the times you put up with me sitting on your kitchen floor being a little drama queen over the crap w/ Jason Radich. heh
Seriously, if we weren’t going to sell this place ASAP, … we were quite happy with our kitchen that had no flooring or ceiling … putting the “finishing touches on” (like what we’re doing now) would have never happened. heh
I’m still shocked the fridge actually got moved to Carla’s. I just figured it would be in the kitchen for a few more weeks before it finally happened. Who’da thunk it?
lol no, some friends follow thru and get the job done… i guess thats the burdon with being an owner of a butch truck
love ya
Yes well strapping the fridge to the roof of my not so butch car probably wouldnt have been a good idea. Besides I’m sure they are tired of me offering to help with stuff, and then not actually helping out. I do that a lot.
lol, that would have been one hell of a sight…a fridge strapped on your car driving down Dam Neck
For the record, Scott asked if we needed help and I told him no.
I learned this a few days before when our next door neighbor (person #1) and Jason2 (person #2) grabbed the new fridge. Joe had the front and Jason2 had the other end.
I (person #3) grabbed the middle and got to walk a whole five feet before I realized that I was a looser. Our front door (and entrance way to the dining room) was barely wide enough for the fridge itself, not the fridge + my stocky ass holding it from the side.
Ergo, I only scheduled two folks yesterday.
Although I was proud to have single-handedly moved the old fridge from the dining room to the living room with only minimal damage to the entrace way betweeen those rooms (and the fridge). Not that Dan wouldn\’t have helped, but I thought I could get that part done before he showed up. Yay for Carla\’s dolly. Also proud to not have called Dan and his butch truck to get the smaller fridge from Homo Depot to our place — Jason and I did quite nicely. w00t!
you go ya old butch stud
