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.

Not a fan of the stone path through the woodchips. I'd have gone with a wider, more traditional walkway.

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.

Just slap a fresh coat of paint on it and you will be fine.

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

the youtube video made it seem very simple...the spray hose attaches below the sink to the pressures, then the other side to the spray head at the top
