Come and do work for me. You can have your choice of 2, that's TWO, full
bathrooms in which to do your business. One upstairs and one down, PLUS a
bedroom.
Seriously, I'm thinking of offering B&B to any Pinhead who will come and
help on this old house next summer. I think we have got to go through one
winter to see what the problems really are and then prioritize what work
needs to be done. I know the plaster needs a LOT of work. I don't have a
horse handy, will dog hair work in the plaster? Have a black lab that
sheds like crazy so would have a ready supply.
Living in my childhood home is fun if challenging with Dad being so
forgetful. But that's why we are here. Ruth

Then customers, especially out-of-town ones, wonder why I put clauses into
the proposal insisting that they supply access for the workforce to a
bathroom. Or a termination clause based on a perceived hi-frequency of
irritating self-centered phone calls demanding instant service. Next time
I'm faced with a shut-out on the bathroom I'm going to tell the customer to
get hosed. I strongly suspect we are paying the price of this customer
wanting to irritate their neighbors.
