Deeply Rooted
It rained all day with a couple of minutes long sun breaks yesterday afternoon. After 4 hours of quite a few up and down trips of climbing and crawling in the attic and sweating and more than a few @#%^&* s due to some very questionable / interesting third world construction practices ??? This is the next in a long line of construction issues ( I have remodeled 2 and built 4 of my own homes from the ground up ) ( last year I found out from a prominent local lifelong resident of this town that the developer used ILLEGALS to build the 354 home subdivision in 3 years and that the building inspector was an alcoholic who did drive by inspections [ $$$ too ?] ). I finally had to rip off the dining room sheetrock at the entrance and drill 9 new holes through 2 wall studs and top plate just to run one 11' wire from the light switch to the new ceiling light fixture. It just started to rain again for the rest of the day with a line of new storms to last through this coming Tuesday. A HOT toddy is in order instead of a spot of tea !
I can relate to your post @bobm. DH and I are big time do-it-ourselfers too. We've run up against some really zany construction practices. We ran a construction company for 20 years so am very familiar with some of the shenanigans that goes on. I love being able to do our repairs with DH. I have learned a whole new vocabulary of swear words from DH after listening to him working on some of the projects we've taken on.
Good for you! 'Git 'er Done'
