Flatfloor, don't worry, in a couple of months, you won't be able to get around out there, and there will be plenty to look at.:):)

Hey Snake, at least you don't have a helper who's a theif. A friend of mine once had a helper steal a cash register from a store he was rugging. The knucklehead rolled it up in a carpet and took it out the back door. Of course the register was empty, which is pretty standard practice as far as I know. So all the guy got for his effort was a pink slip.

The same friend asked me to do a little basement for him a few days ago. It was at night but only a couple of hours work. He loaned me his helper who was not in the mood to be there. He walked out when all that was left was a little vacuuming and a final inspection. It took me ten minutes, and it meant that he wasn't there when the customer tipped me $50.00:cool: He wonders why he's still just a helper even though he's been in the trade for almost ten years:rolleyes:

A construction boss in Belfast was interviewing men when along came a guy named Paddy from Dublin.
"I'm not hiring no dumb Paddy from Dublin" thought the boss, so he made up a test hoping that Paddy would fail and he'd be able to refuse him the job without getting into a dispute.

"Here's your first question" the boss said. "Without using numbers, represent the number 9."
"Wittout nombers?" Paddy says. "Agh! dat's easy," and he draws three trees.
"What's this?" the boss asks.
"Ain't ye got no brains? tree, 'n tree, 'n tree makes noin." says Paddy
"Fair enough," says the boss. "Here's your second question. Use the same
rules, but this time use the number 99."

Paddy thinks for a minute then picks up the picture he has drawn and makes a smudge on each tree. "Der ye arr!"
The boss scratches his head and asks "How on earth does that make 99?"
"Well," says Paddy, "Each tree is dirty now! So dirty tree, 'n dirty tree,
'n dirty tree, makes nointynoin."
The boss is getting worried that he may have to hire a Dubliner after all so he thinks and says, "Last question, same rules but this time make it 100."
Paddy again thinks for a minute, then takes the picture and makes a small mark at the bottom of each tree.
"Der ye arr!"
The boss looks at the picture and says, "You must be crazy that never represents 100!"
"Well then," says Paddy, "Ye see, a little doggie comes along and has a shoit at de bottom of dem trees, so now ya got dirty tree 'n a turd, dirty tree 'n a turd, dirty tree 'n a turd an dat makes a hunnert! When do I start?"

Never been taped that I know of but the house I'm working at now has cameras along the 3/4 mile long driveway(that are monitored in the kitchen) so I always make sure that I drive smoothly and look dapper coming in.

Of course,once I get past the cameras out comes the Mason jar,the cigarette and the lead foot. :D Kidding... :)

I just hope she wasn't too disappointed with your thinset snake :D

Oh, and I sincerely hope your wife/girl-friend/whatever doesn't access this forum or I suspect you may have also laid an egg :D
