Three days before first open for inspection and plumbing issues. Minor but mighty annoying.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Re: The Home Improvement Thread
Not a fan of the stone path through the woodchips. I'd have gone with a wider, more traditional walkway.

Re: The Home Improvement Thread
Wife has kids over at Grandma's tonight ... my first solo (free!) night in a long time at home.
I'll be taking the opportunity to get a haircut and do some edging around the yard.

Man I'm knackered. Wife and kids gone to stay at her parents so I'm doing the finishing touches and running stuff to a storage unit. I hope this place sells quickly as I'm done.

My wife is out of town this weekend. Will finally finish painting a closet and then does some weeding in the yard.

Getting sick of cleaning the house for viewings. I hope this sells quickly for no other reason.
