Bri - what happened? Oh my goodness!
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

That deck and garden looks amazing, what a great eye for design you have. 


Bri77, what a nightmare you had, glad you remained sane enough to be so funny about it. :)

Dang Bri! I hope they paid for their mistakes and that it's all corrected now. You poor thing!

Homeowner, "Let's turn the basement into a rec room".
Translation to what the contractor heard,  "Lets wreck the basement."

You just gotta know their language.   :-)

Still dealing with it. Filed a lawsuit today. We had to wait for a certain period of time after notifying these a$$holes. Their lawyer contacted our lawyer a few months ago saying they'd fix it but they keep putting us off and not even getting back with their own lawyer. Hubby said "screw this, we're not waiting any longer."

Instead of backfilling with stone they backfilled with mud. Real geniuses we're working with here.  :thatsright:

Odd, it was just as I pictured him.   :rotf:



I don't have sideburns.

Why are you picturing me in a speedo?
