I owe all my semi-pro carpenter skills to a friend that used to be my next door neighbor in Alaska. If I learned anything from Jon I learned that "paint and putty covers a multitude of sins". And with my abilities that is the gospel truth.
I have been trying to go to Snohomish Wa. every weekend that is possible. We inherited Vick's aunts place and are in the process of renovating it so we can rent it out. There was minimal structural damage but Gladys was a heavy smoker and if I was smart I would have taken stock out in Mr. Clean! This weekend I just got done washing the whole house for the second time. We are now ready for a primer coat.
Right now I'm in the process of tearing up the living room flooring so I can replace it. Once the underlayment is down we will cover it with a laminate called Allure. It is a vinyl laminate that is waterproof and we can put it down in the whole house including kitchen and bathroom. As far as styles or colors go, that is Vick's department. She gives me the token input but in all reality she will have the final say in the decor scheme. Actually that is fine with me.
So if by chance you try to get ahold of us and we aren't around, you will have a pretty good clue of where we are. We will be busy faking that we are carpenters while we mix the putty in Snohomish Wa.
The other half
