Delays, delays

[SmittysRV]

Some of you may have noticed that I haven't posted any work on my RV website lately. Here's why:


My kiddo was taking a bath and reached up to pull himself up out of the tub by grabbing the shower handle and broke it off. Now I'm replacing the plumbing behind the tile, which means I have to tear off the tile, which means I have to replace the backer board, which means I have to put new tile back, which means I have put in new floor tile to match the new bathroom tile, which means I have to replace all the floor trim, which means I have to repaint the walls to match the new floor tile, which means I have repaint the cabinet to match the walls, which means I have to replace the light fixture to match the new decor, which means I have to wait till all this ^&*( is done before I can work on the RV (wifes' orders). ARRRRRGGGGG. It's the thousand dollar+ shower nob!

I'm hoping to get back to my REAL work in a couple of weeks.

Sounds amazingly similar to airplane repair work

Man when I was reading the first line of that post I thought to myself, oh no this is going to be bad (as in the child was hurt somehow). Glad it was just material damage and not physical.

I am in the same boat but I've hired a contractor. Gravity has pulled that corner of the house down. The bathroom floor hsa sagged and the tile cracked. It's a 60's bathroom and needed upgrading Having the entire room gutted and redone - possibly enlarged a little

I know your pain!

[hohocc]

The thing I don't get is that after we spend all this time and money on the bathroom, we can't get any cleaner than before we did it...

It must be something to do with fall. I have been tearing out all of the baseboards,door and window casings and installing new stuff plus crown molding which I really hate cause it makes my neck sore. Now we are painting several rooms of the house to go with the new furniture my wife bought. All I have done in the last three months to the RV was to wipe the sawdust off. I have a brand new finish kit just staring at me every time I walk out in the garage. I feel your pain

Guys, guys....you need a wife with her own airplane that needs maintenance - then you get to do honey-do's and work on an airplane at the same time!!

Not quite the same, but it is amazing how things pile upon each other and the next thing you know you haven't done anything in several months.

I got married in April and had to move everything out to the airport (52F) because our house just didn't have room. We have been replacing carpet, fixing floors, painting, and replacing the fence so we can sell and move into a bigger house which is closer to our jobs (oh and the airport.)

Now I am sitting in South America on Reserve Duty (only for another 2 weeks) dreaming of starting my electrical work when I get back. Good news is, the 3 weeks away has allowed me to get the design done and my wife says she feels guilty that I haven't spent alot of time on the airplane over the summer.

Only dilemma left is to figure out how to balance my airplane with the twins my wife just told me we are having... nooooo problem....

Here in Nebraska you can drop the kid off (from anywhere in the world) at any hospital or fire station up to age 19 and face no retaliation from the law. (We have incredible stupid legislators here. ) The wife might not approve, cause at least she is getting a new bathroom!
