Saturday - Hot today, first shorts of the year. Good progress on drywall. Juan started on the drains and will return in a couple days to finish. Apparently before sheetrock was invented, they didn't care whether or not framing was straight. Plaster seems to do a good job of covering up the fact that you hired idiots to build your house. Sheila learned how to go get a dust mask. I think tomorrow I'll teach her how to measure and cut drywall.
Sunday - Wearing a toolbelt feels too much like work. It adds weight, pinches your waist, and slowly wears you down until you feel even more tired than you already are. It sucks. So I had a great idea and made M wear it instead. She handed me my tools as I needed them and together we finished the drywall. Another productive weekend. All I want is an entire weekend that isn't productive at all.
Monday - No Juan. Holy momma, the costumes on Dancing With The Stars. Does anyone watch that show for the dancing? Hoyba.
Tuesday - No Juan. Six little pieces short of finishing the corner bead. April Fool's tomorrow... Let's see now...
Wednesday - No Juan. Corner bead finished. Here in California there is an ongoing battle over the definition of 'marriage'. After nine years of research, I think the term 'marriage' should be defined as that line which, once crossed, men become no longer funny. Recently I added the following items to the ever-growing list of 'Things That Are Not Funny': 1) Standing in the closet when your wife thinks you are in bed. That is not funny. 2) Hovering over your wife as she lays in bed after watching Ju-on. That is not funny. 3) Locking your wife and your dog in the trunk of your car and letting them out after an hour to see which one of them is happy to see you (thereby indicating which one loves you more.) Turns out, that's just an internet joke not to be taken seriously and, in reality, is not funny in any way, shape, or form.
Happy April Fool's Day!
Thursday - No Juan. Started mudding. Tad came over and forced me to admit that I'm actually a hack. Finished a good portion of the first coat.
Friday - No Juan. More mudding. No meeting Phil for beers. All mud, no Bud.
