Remodel, Day 11

Brent said today that he would start "catching up" by tomorrow and I thought, catch up? With what? I'm amazed at what a one-man crew can do -- he's tireless, if you ask me, and I feel bad that they call him "lead carpenter" even though he's the only carpenter -- the only anyone -- here. He's also just really nice and thoughtful, and he's even going to get spider spray to keep the freaking huge creepy mutoid spiders away from the wall if he can (he heard me banging on the door one day, trying to kill the most godawful spider I've ever seen).

The bad part is that we've got asbestos everywhere, which means a lot -- a LOT -- more money to have an asbestos abatement crew come out here. First it was the floor, but we found another setback today when he took off the siding out back. He took a chunk to the testing place this afternoon so we'll know for sure tomorrow, but it means I'll have to schedule the crew again, which causes delays, and pay more $$. Arg. I planned for more expenses, but I was hoping it would be for good stuff.

And now I have to go do some late-night publishing, just because apparently I don't work *enough.*
