Dreary Week – not just the weather
Posted by Wurtzy on October 6, 2009
Hello to my avid readers. :) Anyway, it’s been a rainy, dreary week with a few bright spots. The family went to Sever’s Corn Maze in Shakopee on Sunday – that was a blast! Watched some piggy races, Belle rode a real pony on a merry-go-round, went down a big slide (“That FUN!”), ran through a hay-bale maze, corn maze, ate some roasted corn-on-the-cob, and “swam” in the corn pool (corn kernels under a tent)! That was tons of fun!
Sports wise- Vikes are 4-0- Favre is doing his job. The Twins managed to scrape together enough wins to make the season extend by one game in a playoff. I’ll be paying attention!
Dad’s Birthday today! Happy B-Day Dad! Belle will be calling!
Now to other dreary stuff: Another bad contractor we hired in. All we wanted were the walls painted, new crown/baseboard/casing, and the closet doors installed. Instead, we get overpaiting in the closet resulting in sagging wall paint, unfinished painting on the trim and around the windows, a spill of paint in the closet, and an extremely upset wife. That’s tons of fun. Don’t hire contractors named Kurt. Two in a row. The latest guy at least sounded like he knew what he was doing. I guess not. His painting left a lot be desired – I could have done a better job and I hate painting. I think the only thing I couldn’t have done was put up the trim. only because I don’t have the tools. I lost sleep over this. Crappy. Plus he didn’t caulk the gaps in the trim – anywhere! I thought he did, but I really don’t think he did the job right. And he may have used our new paintbrush and kept it ($15). it’s CRAP.
