If you give a mouse a cookie......

He's going to ask for a glass of milk, right?

Asking Garnet to do a few small 'fix-ups' before the closing date......

.....is like giving a child a bag of candy and asking them to only have one.....

....and soon they'll have another.....

.....and another....

and before you know it -- the whole bag of candy is gone.

Or in this case a bathroom wall -- and every other room is prepped for paint. Posted by Picasa


No one can ever accuse my husband of being lazy - that's for sure.

oh yeah, totally ang -- he can take it!!

the reason he is painting for the new owners is that in the agreement - the buyers asked that the little projects that we had started in the last year be finished. so any visible drywall mud be painted. we color matched what we could -- and he just went a little overboard on the rest. yes he is generous -- but i'm left asking; why couldn't this all be done in a week for us....while we were still living here?!?!?!

men.....i don't try to understand them anymore ;)
