... that apparently is next door to my house.

Any chance that your friend knows my friend?  The one with the rusting (but now being derusted and acrylicly elastomerized) standing seam metal roof?  The same one with the grout joints running to the top of the Eiffel Tower (or the height of three Statues of Liberty [including base] standing granite to halo spike)?  You know, that buddy with the glass panes lacking any bedding against the sash?

It's so nice to have an acquaintance nearby, eh?  And great to be here when you need your friends to help your friends....

Subject:        Remember that idiot I was talking about?  I was over at his house...

.. today.  You know, the idiot who broke off two nickel steel screws in lead
anchors in a 1920's mudset tile wall, while trying to put up a salvaged
toilet paper roll in his kids' bathroom.
