Talk about DIY house renovation

[Marcus Johnson]

Glad to see someone else is willing to grab the bull and do some home repairs himself. I've learned a lot of stuff working on my 30's-vintage plantation house here on Maui. Been doing so for ten years now; almost finished!

Bought my own house to do up about 5 years ago. It hung like a millstone around my neck for 2 years until I sold it (finished) and gave me a permenant dust allergy.

I converted (with help) two garages into rooms at our place. Also redecorated the rest of the house. It cut into bass practice time.

I'm about to invite the circus to town (tent fumigators) for the first time since we bought the house. I hate to see the termites undoing all our hard work. I guess a ten-year run isn't too bad... most people here seem to have to tent every 5-6 years.

Rob went to the doc and the doc gave him some pills and told him to put them up his back passage. Rob took them home and put them in the passage near his newly renovated bathroom.
Later Rob complained to the doc, saying,
"For all the good those pills did, I could have shoved them up my... "
sorry about that!

Hey Robert... I was cleaning out my workshop/ storage shed yesterday, and found our old portable shower that we used outside for a two months while I totally redid our one bathroom (I've since added a second). It's a sort of tall, skinny popup tent, into which I ran hot and cold water feeds... it stood in the middle of our backyard. I have to say, my wife and two daughters showed admirable pioneer spirit during those two months. But when I showed it to my wife yesterday, I said "whattya think, honey... keep it or toss it?", she gave it a BIG thumbs down.

We all are using our on suite while I do up the main one. But step son insists on leaving his shower until we both want to go to bed!
We are on holiday today and no ones talking because of a stupid argumant over the shower last night!

Learn the bass and try playing them a bass solo. Everyone talks through my bass solos!
