dish washer blues

got the counter tops in and was hooking up the dish washer , water line was to short so making it longer was the way to go. off to true value i go . they don't have what i need. storm out , jump in truck, go to home depot.buy hose and two hose clamps. heading home big smile on face. i got this sucker licked now. got home put hose on fittings with clamp's so far so good. clean dish and cup and all is well. and then i hear this (S.O.B.) we got water all over the floor!!!!!! turn off water ,cuss stomp and throw thing's. made mad dash back to home depot buy little gasket for fitting, happy again. stopped at outback for late supper now real happy. go home go to bed. after coffee next morning, put gasket in fitting no more leaks , happy camper now. next comes sink drain, adventure starts all over again. new sink is deeper on one side than old sink so off to true value i go, half way their stopped at new store ,they don't have what i need. home depot is looking better all the time. true value it is. all i need is one hose two clamps and a goose neck. you would think that this would be easy. talk about the run around , got the clamps. had to dig through some old boxes for the goose neck, cause we don't have part's for manufactured homes, what a load of crap and other thing's. had to go to auto zone for a hose , they looked at me funnier when i told them what i wanted it for. We can't guarantee this hose if it's not installed on a car. now i am worried, shit i may have to go to counseling and pay a big fine to the gear head god's or some thing. pay attention to the detail dumb ass you can't work on the car in the kitchen. why you ask?? well i got the old kitchen all over my shop so it seems reasonable to me. got to stop here Big Brother is on. more later.

Reality check

How did ya'all like Mr. B's blog? His spelling and grammar are something to reckon with, at any time. I know he can spell and punctuate, but he does this on purpose, just because he can. He called me into the computer room just to brag about his accomplishment. "Look what I did!! HA HA !!!"

The remodel really isn't as bad as he makes it out to be. It has been a lot of work for the last month, but He is doing a wonderful job and I am very proud of his work. He is lying about the dishes though, cuz he don't do dishes! As for the sawdust, it is everywhere. As for the directions, he sees things a little differently than I do, so we have some good "discussions". He likes to harass me about the home improvement shows I watch, but they have helped. I just have to say things the way he understands. He got to take his frustrations out on the old cabinets as they are now just a pile of firewood pieces. The new bottom cabinets are in (no doors yet) and the top is ready for counter top. That template was made yesterday. The counter top won't be ready for a least a week, but boy are we looking forward to that day. At least now we have the ply board to use in the mean time. It has taken 4 trips to Lowe's or Home Depot to get the hose to extend the dishwasher over, and still we haven't gotten it right.

Richard is finishing the wainscoting and trim (windows etc.) in the dining room so we can have the living room back. He is working at getting rid of the manufactured house look. Dry wall mud, primer and paint, then cutting and fitting all the good stuff. Thank God for paper plates and cups.
