So fuck, the first real headache hit. AFter back filling in all the floor with concrete there is a small leak in my water line that comes into my house. Problem is it's the old lead line and virtually no way to fix it and more than likely trying to fix it will only make the problem worse! So I have ...

Spent a mint on electricians. They finished the job today by taking out old panel and moving my meter outside and upgrading service to 220. Well hydro inspector passes everything and calls back for reconnection at 3 pm. 4.5 hours later no Hydro!!!! Called, freaked out, and was told they are running ...

Fuck me..... was up at the place a week ago hoping to hang drywall after the inspector cleared us through the next phase of the inspection. These assholes are like Mexicans up there. Waited around for the guy for two days off an on when he said he was going to show up. Long story short I had to bus...

Why yes they are... I made sure my general was on the hook for that.

..that's some Mike Holmes looking reno shit right there. Yeah- we moved the laundry area away from the central drain and sump pit to a location right near the stairs sooo... we had to rip up the concrete and run a new drain in. In this same spot we had to re-route the drain from the kitchen to run ...

Fucking scratches from cocksuckers!! I drive down overgrown trails to pinstripe my truck. But you buy and outfit for your truck just for that purpose. I'm a flatland city dweller and well, shit I don't want dickheads dinging my car! OD, bout time you go with it for the iphone. CineXplayer will play...

Crap OD you go through leases faster than any guy I know. I bet it is a loaded Honda Ridgeline. ;) I haven't leased since my first truck back in 07. I'm way to wealthy and important, and although I've put a few on (come on, a little junk in the trunk is hot... amirite) I'm way to good looking to le...

well they are ripped out and cleaned up now- damage is done if that's what they are. If I develop lung cancer I guess we'll know why. There was not other insulation like that on pipes or anything so my fear is floor tiles and they're gone. Guess I better open the windows, ventilate and get an air f...

Asbestos sticky tiles on the concrete I take it? Good times. I assume there is also asbestos tape on the ducting down there. Be careful with that when you replace the furnace. How high is the ceiling? 7'? So far so good pete. I'm not sure if they were asbestos sticky tiles, never heard of those nor...

Sparkies are crazy flakes. I thought it would be the plumber and drywaller/framers but no it's the sparkies. Been through three of them and finally found a good one or my contractor did. It's early though, everyone loves ripping down stuff it's the building that's where all the challenge comes in.
