I am a small business owner, so unlike the big corp you probably work for, Scaeagles, I don't get to duck out on my taxes. :p

Not wealthy, either. I just work hard and play hard.

The reason we haven't finished the kitchen flooring is we can't find anything we like.

"Oh, no reason" he said, surveying the ceramic tile countertops and cheaply panelled backsplash in his own kitchen.

We just installed a new shelving system Home Despot was having a sale on concrete bricks and pine planks.

I am truly evil, WB....I used to be self employed, went to work for a company with 90 employees, which was bought by a company with 50,000 employees.

But I am not here to discuss that....I am here to declare that my floor is done! Well, except some trim that's on backorder. I still have two stairs that need stairnose, and some other trim things that will take a day once all the stuff is in (it's on backorder).

I was very proud of myself. I had measured 1002 square feet, and purchased 1098. When I was done, I still 45 square feet left, meaning that I only had 51 square feet of waste, or right at 5% (I was told to expect 10% waste), so I had enough to do the two closets I hadn't planned on doing.

Now it's on to the backyard....remember my saga of putting in the trampoline? I think's it's getting taken out....[soft cry]sob.....[/soft cry]

I swear these ideas enter my brain, start germinating without any feeding whatsoever, then bloom while Chris listens patiently over dinner. They even ordered themselves in a logical order:

Replace bedroom windows
Paint house and trim
refinish front door
build gate and back awning
plaster/paint bathroom and office
landscape front yard

GAH! Make it stop!

Make sure you get any, and all, foundation work done first.

Well, at least they're not on a hill!

This place, if I miss my guess, was really not that far from the mousepods lair.

Gives new meaning to the term fixer upper, it was demolished yesterday.

It's several blocks away from us - but I know exactly where the house is. I think I would have avoided purchasing a house that had any kind of reinforcements in the form of cereal boxes.

I still don't quite understand how they did that. Did they use Captain Crunch?
