• So sfaJack is having to do some painting or whatever because the Cubs lost. It's amazing what our better halves want to do with the places they live at. Like I said the other day in my entry about those people buying houses just to tear half of it down, why bother? I remember when house-shopping with Mrs. kkk I wanted to do the least amount of renovating possible due to being a lazy bastard. Well, when we settled on our house I was quite glad the amount of refurbishing was minimal. We got new carpeting for the upstairs, but that shit needed a face-lift. Otherwise, I've done jack shit. Mrs. kkk on the other hand...

 

The highlight of her meddling came regarding our first-floor bathroom. I've mentioned before that she repainted this room from a pleasing brisk blue to a shit brown, and she did this when I was out of state for a few days on business. Of course she didn't get the project complete, so imagine my pleasant surprise when, after driving 5+ hours and having to take a monster poop, I ventured in the house and saw plastic all over the place and a ladder in the middle of the bathroom's walkway. Thank God for upstairs toilets. Oh, and here's said bathroom.

Now why would some do such a thing? One reason was so it would match our towels~! The second was so she could stencil this shit on the wall.

I may have talked about this before, but the search function is busted. If you heard this story already, blame Mole.

 

Why do I have no desire to make home improvements? I said above that I’m lazy, but there’s some probably some childhood trauma I have to consider, too. When I was a kid, my parents bought some big-ass three story house that my dad said they couldn’t afford. My mom busted out the tears and they got the house. I was a kid at the time, but this house needed a shitload of work, and boy did my old man work on this residence. I remember him remodeling the third floor and doing a bunch of stuff with paint, wires and other stuff that’s found inside of walls. What was his reward for all this? A divorce that saw my mom sell the house. Ouch.

• Some of this stuff made me chuckle. That's all I got. Just Google the headline if you want a source.

 

Nine Things I Hate About Everyone

 

1) People who point at their wrist while asking for the time…. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?

 

2) People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.

 

3) When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?

 

4) When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their asses!

 

5) When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid $12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.

 

6) People who ask "Can I ask you a question?"…. Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?

 

7) When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.

 

8) When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?

 

9) When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

I've been putting up ceiling lights at the behest of the better half. This is easy stuff, not hard work at all. I put one in the family/kitchen area, above a table. This is the open area between the family room with the TV and the kitchen. Previously there was a somewhat ugly, very low hanging light there that I would constantly bump my head on. I also put one in the dining room. These were easy because there was already a hole in the ceiling with everything already in place.

 

Now she wants to put a ceiling fan in the smaller room upstairs. Now this room has no wiring to the ceiling. So you think I'm doing it? Nope, I've no clue how to wire up the damn thing--I know it involves crawling up into the attic and running wire to the outlet and also to the area in the ceiling where the fan goes. So enter my brother-in-law, who will do all this! It rocks having a brother-in-law who is cool and who is very experienced in home improvements.
