Well. Hell's. Bells.

It's Saturday. A day of rest and relaxation, right?

NOT IN THE FARGING BOUNCY HOUSEHOLD IT'S NOT!!!!!

I'm attempting to do the introduction for my thesis. That's bad enough, right?

Throw in Mr. Bouncy doing demolition in the child's bedroom across the hall (knocking down a wall to make the third and fourth bedrooms one big bedroom). He's cussing, sledgehammering, cussing some more, cussing, all morning and afternoon.

Just now he let out a string of REALLY loud blue language. It turns out when he cut off the electricity to the outlets on the wall he took down, he cut off the electricity to the entire master bedroom and bath and they won't come back on. He keeps telling me about it like I'm an electrician or at any moment, I'm going to magically know what to do. I'm not real clear on what he did in the first place, so I really can't help him. We just won't have electricity in there until he gets it figured out.

And he has something wrong with a nerve in his neck and swinging the sledgehammer has aggravated that. So now he's hurting.

The kid keeps turning up her DVD in the other room louder and louder, until I finally said if it goes up louder again, it's getting turned off.

The neighborhood kids, whom I normally quite like, have taken the sheet rock walls Mr. Bouncy has put out by the curb and are using it as skateboard ramps, only it's not quite firm enough and the fact that it falls apart is apparently so hilarious they are cackling like crazy out there.

I can't find the cat.

And there aren't even any good flamewars to give me an excuse to not read these research articles. I have to read them online, apparently, as BOTH of our printers are out of ink. Just found that out when I tried to print off a nine page article.

I give up.

for not having a demolition permit.

It's only just begun ...

(I think the cat has the right idea)

We checked. (Where IS that cat???)

she/he is hiding because of all that noise and will come out as soon as it is quiet again. After all, they already run hiding if you get the vacuum cleaner and it sounds like it is a lot nosier at your's right now

Try to remember that soon it'll be all over and done with. Just one of these days. Kill the kids if they make any more noise. Your husband you'll need, though, because of the electricity.

I sure hope you'll find the cat!

And now:

:hug:

---------------------

Remember Fallujah

Bush to The Hague!

:hug:

And the cat is probably hiding from all the commotion. When it calms down, the cat will come back.

Things like that happen at my house, too.

We removed an upstairs bathroom to remodel. It turns out that we will have to remove an outside wall to get the job done. I just can't wait for it to start. Yay, remodelers!

My cat will probably hide, too.

You should go to a library where you can use a printer. Plus, there will be some peace in a library.

Tell the neighborhood kids that sheet rock may be toxic. You don't know for sure, but... That way, you will have deniability if any neighborhood kids' parents bug you. Or, you could just yell at them and tell them to go away.

Anyway, I thought the Sabbath was the day of rest, you heathen!

(if it's open).

I just can't concentrate here. Too many distractions and temptations.

Hope your remodel goes well! This was fairly straightforward, just removing a non-load bearing wall between two rooms. It came out better looking than we even expected (I thought the ceiling and two sides where the wall was would look like utter crap, but it's not nearly as bad as I thought...just needs some fixing up).

That would be my first option

but I'm thinking of running away tomorrow and joining the circus.

(I'll go to the local library.)

When he removed the recept in the wall he is demoing it contained the feed for the other rooms. He will probably have to make a temporary splice with wire nuts until he finishes his project.

ok he got it, thanks!
