Freakin Dopers

The Cobra, just like his idol, the Pirate.....goes down in flames. I feel sorry for the kid, led astray by his own ambitions. Now, likely jail time, a 100k euro fine and possibly the end of his career.


Maybe his nick name came from the needle marks in his arms. Cobra bites.

Demo, Dust and Respirators

I spent the 3-day weekend ripping out the majority of my new old house. Using sledge hammers, pry bars......saws all, now there is a tool. Need to take down a wall, just cut the sucker in half.


Before

After

Anyway...we filled a dumpster to the top and ordered another one. Hope we can fit everything in the second one.


All I can say is that the carpet in the hall.....Nasty.....!
It is amazing how much different a place can look once you rip half the stuff out.


I can see it......

Carpets

Who ever heard of Carpet in a bathroom. Especially around the toilet. The whole place smells like pee. Yesterday a crowd of about 10 contractors descended upon the new place. Ideas were flowing like mad and all I could think about was, 'how in the hell am I going to pay for all of this".


Problems one never even think about come up, and must be fixed. I realized years ago that remodeling projects can go down two separate paths. The right way or the cheap and easy was. Sometimes the cheap and easy way works, but for big projects, they need to be done right.

That only means one thing.

and lots of it..........
