Tw,

It was so easy to change that the client thought I musta been cheaten 
them for the money from the beginning.

That was also the job where the welder was welding on the fire escape 
while the painter (Sammy) was on the ladder with a gallon of incorrectly 
'pinkish' paint. A spark jumped down and lit the can of paint on fire. 
Sammy dropped it, of course, and it hit the granite sidewalk, flaming up 
as it flowed towards the gutter of the cobble street. I was not there at 
the time but saw the result and heard all about it. I am still 
confounded, it was like asking the kids which one of them broke the 
deacon's window with the baseball.
