February 27 - We are racing against the cl0ck here to avoid an extra days charge on the rental of the stapler. It's due back at 4pm, at 3:05 we (meaning Mike) still had about 8 more pieces left with fast math, some precision cutting and careful speed we made it happen. Rock-on, star

February 26 - DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO INSTALL HARD WOOD FLOORS???? (if you already know act surprised, B. Papini) Do you know how much math is involved??? Between all the numbers and the stapling my back and my brain both ached!!! When you come visit be sure to notice the water marks staining the wood -those aren't from the smoothies - they're from my blood and sweat! Ok I'm exaggerating on the blood part it was only a tiny finger cut - but the sweat part is very real!!! This is the defining moment of Mike's rockstar status. Not only did he take an amateur ...a novice and turn her into a supa dupa hard wood floor installer the floor is truly a thing of beauty. I encourage you all to behold our RAMP! What do you say when thank you isn't enough? (I know throw money at him ....lata, lata) Thank you Mike

It ain't Pergo

February 25 - DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH HARD WOOD FLOORS COST TO INSTALL??? Do you know I had the insane idea to try to do myself??? I thought how hard could it be? I've seen them install pergo on TV at least a dozen times - it's not like it's spine surgery, right Al? What's that sound? Oh, that - that's the sound of self respecting millworkers laughing so hard they hit the floor! To think....that I thought I could do this myself all to save a few hundred bucks. Rockstar carpenter took pity on me an my shoestring budget and together we worked out a deal that was mutually .....beneficial. People!!! Please!!! ....not those kinds of benefits.
