Very excited guys.For the last three and a half months I have been renovating my middle daughters 4 bed 4 bath home which is 7 blocks away from me. by my self. It was quite an experience I must say. we had originally agreed that I would only do the kitchen and the trim work,well that didn't work. I wound up doing 80 percent of the sheet rock as I was not happy with the workers workmanship. which now meant that I would do all all the tapping and spackleing as well, and every bed room has a 12 foot cathederal ceiling. as well as moving the kitchen cabinets that I built for them 5 years ago and I had to build an 8 ft island as well as 2 more pantrys to match. all the trim the painting and a deck off the kitchen sliders. not bad your thinking ? Wrong! all this with a tool obsessed 1and a half year old little boy glued to me like nothing I could imagine. this little guy would break away from his parents at every opportunity and make a B line to Poppa and Poppa's tools and notjhing on this earth would stop him. it got to the point where I would just give him one of every screw gun , spackle knife( Plastic of course) Hammer, step ladder I had and let him stay in whatever room I happened to be in. my daughter and son in law just could not stop this little guy and I just could not deal with the screeming and crying. so at the end of every day when he would go to bed I would repair all the hammer dings messed up spackle and whatever else. and all this knowing that every day he mite get hurt as he is a very sought after child model that works for every major company in the country (yikes) the make up people were constantly fixing him up. Today I finish the cabinet crown moldings and I am getting out of their by noon today. this is a very happy day guys, oh and my youngest daughter just bought a small cape 2 blocks from me and it need to be completely gutted and I will start that in 2 weeks.NO KIDS thank god happy easter to all.
