Thirty Year Old Surprise Presents
SPF and I began the major work on Bathroom # 2 this weekend. When I mean major, I mean Sawsall major, I mean sledgehammer major. We successfully ripped out the bizarre and entirely useless fiberglass shower and found, much to our surprise, all of the building materials used to make our complex that didn't get used. They were all shoved up behind the drywall, tucked under the tub, and shimmied between the studs. All of this, to such a degree, that we had almost as much thirty year old construction waste as we did 2005 demolition waste. The other surprise (that wasn't really a surprise) the tub that was supposed to be supported under the weight bearing components with 2x4 and plywood was missing one of the 2x4s. MISSING!!! No wonder the damn thing collapsed. After thirty years, I think it actually deserves a medal for lasting as long as it did with basically no foundation.
No matter. The project is under way!! But for now, our bathroom smells like basement.

Mmm. Basement.
Yes, is does have a certain aromatic flare.
COOL!
When are you coming to celebrate our Slug Tree?
I don't know. We will have to figure that out. Not this weekend or next weekend for sure, but maybe after that? Or is that Christmas and will you be gone?
I don't know. Doesn't anyone have a calendar? We should talk.
So I just looked at the Calendar and it doesn't look like we can come up!!! Unless we come up for part of Sunday not this weekend but the one after, because we have to be in town Saturday night...
That might work - would that be good for you or do you want to wait until after the holiday?
After. :(
