Some just for before and after photos to change up the website.
Some for customers who aren't home to show them the work has been done.
Some to gross me out because he thinks that its funny how much it makes me ill to see people who never flush their toilets or leave very old dried up personal things on the floor where he has to work.
Here are a few of them from this week. None too gross - wouldn't do that to you.
He sends these to me with captions which can make me laugh.
Here are a few that I can share along with his captions/his words exactly as he sent them to me.
I don't want to live here!
NOT FRIENDLY!
She said she had trouble cleaning the tub. Staring at the filth doesn't count as cleaning it.
6 miles on this bumpy road. Glad it's not winter.
Nice view from their porch though once I got here
These are just the ones I can show you. Some are real doozies. I had a plumber coming to my house last week. He had to go under my kitchen sink. I removed everything for him and then cleaned it. I didn't want him to deal with anything that had spilled (comet) or anything of that nature. You would think others would think the same when someone from our company is showing up. But apparently that is rare.
I changed all the fixtures in my powder room to oil rubbed bronze. I did this one day while Rick was out. What I couldn't do was replace the chrome drain in the sink to the oil rubbed bronze one. So when Rick got home he tried to do this without removing the sink from the wall. He could not. I called a plumber. The plumber said that the pedestal sink had to be cut from the wall and the two pieces be separated and then they could do it and then put it back together. But the issue is that the paint color in that room was hand made/mixed. It's not a color one can buy. I don't have any left because my husband threw it away by accident (you know the head up his butt syndrome I referred to yesterday) I asked the plumber if it would be a clean break and he laughed. I said to him, "I don't like that laugh." He said he couldn't lie to me and promise me that. I said never mind. So, I either have to find one like they have for tubs that will go over your existing one, live with chrome, (NO) or repaint the whole room. Aargh. I don't like my options here.

Ha ha if he thinks that's a bumpy road he should see the lanes around here where I live! There's not a pot hole in sight!
Poor House Lane? I think I've found the place to build my retirement home.
lol I decided to paint my son's room. Then I was like ok yeah we wanted to change the door in there. ALLLLL Day project to get the door put in. Still doesn't have the trim around it and crapped stacked in the kid's room. AND now I have to repaint the hallway I think since he had to mess with the outside door area too.
"Poor House Lane." I've often wondered what those charged with naming streets did to amuse themselves.
Tradesmen appreciate a clean workspace. It's great if homeowners clean up beforehand, as it's easier to fix things up if the entire place isn't messy. This makes for a quicker diagnosis and repair. I hope your other issues get fixed soon, though. Also, hand-mixed paints are unique, and they're quite hard to replicate. Good luck on that!

do i just live in a different world than you do?
because i thought that looked like a pretty good road.
and we have a lot of towns here with a "poor farm road" or "poor house lane".
and it's dang near impossible to keep my fixtures clean, because of mineral deposits.
my WATER BOTTLE turns brown.
flask - i said the same thing after he sent it to me. he said the photo is deceiving because it was very very bumpy.
