Wasn't going for argumentative, if you are referring to my post. Was attempting a little joke

Finally able to sit down and drink a beer after a long day of work and then more work once I got home. There's a few things done, but it's becoming a long process. At least my dad and uncle are able to help, but they sure do leave a mess when they're done.

I can't believe how deep this project has gone. I never thought I'd have so much to rip out and replace just from the washing machine overflowing for at least 20 minutes. Not only is it a headache, but it has completely shut down my beer budget until further notice. So, for now, I'm going to be forced to operate off of reserves.
So I'm drinking my last of these.
Recycled picture.
Narwhal any good? Never tried it. Went with the 4pk of breakfast stout the other day instead of the narwhal.

Even though I will openly admit my beer deciphering skills are most likely not as good as a lot of the guys/gals in the forums. Still have a lot of practice to do. And I must say I don't mind practicing one bit.
Thanks man.mcbaumannerb said:That sucks that the washing machine did that much damage. Had a similar surprise several years ago in the basement when the hose bib line burst. Only difference is I was going to start remodeling the next day so it just became a slightly larger project. Hope you are able to wrap that up soon.
Thanks man.
I wish I could say the same thing, but this remodel was forced on me, but it will be nice when it's all finished. The water damage from the washing machine was the smallest part of this project. Once we started ripping stuff out, we found other problems. We had to have the house leveled(something I've actually been putting off), and ended up having it raised 8 inches because in the back corner it was way too close to the ground. The plumbing in the walls was a joke and had a tiny leak, so we had to put all new pipes. The subfloor in the bathroom was pieced together and it looks like the guys who remodeled this house before selling it just laid plywood over rotten spots just to cover it up. I could go on and on with the list of crap we're having to replace that was done wrong by the original builder and the people we bought it from. I'd like to find all of them and strangle them with my bare hands.![]()

Oh the joys of owning a house, small jobs seem to have a way of getting bigger. I personally went from just painting to trying to shore up ceilings as the drywall looks like it wants to give up the fight against gravity. Of course working on the house makes that end of the day brew that much better.

Better conversationalist than your boss, right?![]()
Just go into the conversation with this mind set: "I love lamp!"

Now I must watch Anchorman! I wanted to yesterday because the thought to attempt a conversation with my lamp had crossed my mind a few times and it reminded me of Brick.![]()
I can't get home fast enough!
