fun weekend...kinda


Well this weekend was a busy one.

Saturday I went to Mom and Dads to help Spencer yank the motor out of his jeep so we can swap it out, we though it was just going to be the motor coming out but we ended up having to take the transmission and the transfer case out too. After that I went home and mowed the grass and then crashed in the recliner.

Sunday we discovered that water from the shower had gotten into the sheetrock......since they did not properly seal the shower and Leslies wild shower routine splashes water everywhere, Leslie wanted to call the contractor but I said I could fix it faster and I would not have to worry about it ( I watch Holmes on Homes so I know what I am doing) Here is my hole I cut in the wall. After that I washed both cars and cleaned out the garage and then we went for a 3mile bike ride.......I'm pooped.

So...did you fill in the hole? They're supposed to use a special sheetrock behind bathtubs/showers. It's blue.

There is no sheet rock behind the shower just studs. I did fix the hole but I just used a a piece of the sheet that they left in the garage and I hid in it in the attic muhahaha

Mr. handy man himself. :) Good job Ry-guy.
It's too bad the builder didn't do his job correctly, little stinker!

See, you're willing to fix the builder's mistakes whereas I'm getting ready to tear our builder a new one for not getting people out here to fix his mistakes.... and for ripping us off on a sprinkler system. Maybe if I knew how to install weather stripping I'd do that myslef....

oh he is going to be coming out to the house to fix the nails that are pushing out of the walls, this is just something that needed to be done asap and I didnt have time for a shady contractor.

The Lairds said...
