I still have work to do, but I'm getting there. Today they are hanging 3 mirrors, one canvas and an inspirational black metal "Always be humble and kind". I can't wait to get home.
EDIT - Lups I don't think I deserve your appreciate. I need to be clear, unlike your crazy ass, I paid someone to do the work.  I do enjoy reading your bizarre adventures though. |
You earned it, don't worry!
I think its positive that we all are not the same sort of home decor folks. I'd hate to meet you all on some dark alley to fight over a bucket or early 20th century bricks. That would suck balls.
The latest episode in my battle to restore old shit tried to kill my soul tho. Apparently there are only a handful of brick layers that do those 19th century fireplaces I obsessed all spring over. After seeing their prices, especially for a job of building two of them, we built them ourselves.
Trust me, hiring someone to do your shit is the only recommendation I will give to anyone from this day on. Even by my standards, this project was too insane.
