Bitter – Don’t curse us!!!

Woody – Eh, we’ll manage. We’ll just hide out in the basement while the tornado hits.

Hope the ride’s not too rough Wyatt. I can’t imagine having your house torn all apart like that for weeks.

Of course, we’ll have rain steadily now that you’ve made these plans. When we had our back porch removed and replaced, it was a project that could have taken, in theory, only about two weeks (allowing for concrete dry time). But, thanks to rain delays, it took over two months. Unfortunately, our project ended up taking place during the very wet spring.

Not to mention the inspection BS. The inspector was nice, but we didn’t need all the stuff he claimed. Our patio cover is so secure now that if a tornado & hurricane hit at the same time, the house would be gone, but the porch would still be there.

Clady – It’s okay, I’m dieting anyway.

Maggie – Hopefully, our contractors will be a little more swift.

GroovyVic – Thanks. The missus will be taking lots of pics during the work.

Randal – Of course. We need it around for Kyle’s Bruins jersey my mother-in-law is making.

Mrs. Crankipants – I already have one. Oh, you meant the wall decoration.

Snigs – TMI!!! Besides, with four kids, we’re too tired for that anymore.

Mrs. Crankipants – In the garage, of course!

Doghouse – Start to finish, the contractors said 2-3 months. Just in time for school.

Deanna – I promised we’d get a loan so we can afford all of this!

Admiral – It’s a great house in a good neighborhood. Only issue is one certain neighbor . . . Heh.

MeToo – No worries. We were fine when we had our basement finished and bathrooms redone.

Sully – I expect walls covered with NASCAR, NHL, and Star Wars. And their rooms will be covered with . . .

Captain – Yup. Moved to Wednesday. Besides, you’re always working during your vacation, anyway.

Uncle Ray – Oh yeah, with your taxes and surcharges? Pass.

I strongly suggest that you watch “The Money Pit” with Tom Hanks. Then call me to take notes on the debacles we have gone through. Nevertheless, I hope all goes well and in a timely manner. By the way, you can rent a couple o’ bedrooms from me in the meantime.

There’s an eerie quiet outside. I was actually able to get a nap today. Calm before the storm?

“they could decorate their rooms as they see fit…”

You are a brave man… I can’t wait to hear how this turns out.

The true test of any marriage….remodeling. If you two survive this you are golden! Best of luck.

Good for you. Extra room without having to move. You are a smart man!

I can’t imagine the thought of remodeling. Hope it all goes smoothly. So your promised your boys Fatheads… what did you promise your wife? She deserves something for having to put up with all that and the kids too!
