Haha... now just work on going from double bogey to single's, and at all costs no more 'hockey sticks' or 'snowman's. Break ninety in no time.

Wholly Crap, wood is expensive!

Just got back from Lowes. I bought some slabs of dead tree carcass for my coffee roaster project. Funny thing, it was less expensive to buy oak, popular and glued, sized and milled shelf boards that plain old spruce or pine.

I'd hate to be a home builder right now, imagine being held to a contract for a house priced with pre-covid wood.

we could prolly thin out some forests in CA to add to the nation's wood supply, reduce the risk of destructive wildfires, provide some jobs for out of work folks and put some money into the tax coffers for a rainy day...

Many projects are on hold Gene. Lots of building supplies are scarce. Containers have been prioritized for medical supplies and equipment. There is the terif on Canadian lumber, huge use of plywood in Texas after the disaster.

We will burn it down rather than let your cut it down and use it for lumber.
Out of work folks need to learn how to code or install Chinese solar panels.
If we want to put some money in the tax coffers for a rainy day we will just raise taxes.

Special order vanity came in so I picked it up. Get home and wife says it's wrong. Double check the email she sent me with the link. It matches. Check the box to the order, it matches.

She says "I wanted white". I told her white is/was in stock at the store but you insisted you wanted "cashmere". She says its not the color she imagined.... JFC. Waited almost 2 months for the special order because she didn't want white. But it's here now and she "thought it would be white"

It matches what she ordered. She wanted the not white vanity but now is upset its not white... I can't win. Guess I gotta go buy the white one.

Note to self: Your wife is a saintly woman.

We ordered a sofa/loveseat and table 2 months ago. They said 8-12 weeks... so it should be in before the month is out. Fuggers better not try to deliver that sh*t on a Monday. I'll be fishing.

This is why I wanted to say I'm the one doing the work I'll decide what goes in. She doesn't like the shower surround she picked out. She doesn't like the vanity she picked out. She wants the stuff I was gonna get in the first place.

Send it back.

Get her wine, roses and the bathroom you wanted her to have in the first place.

NEVER begrudge her again about it. You can here though.

My wife works in mortgages. They've seen a spike of people buying or building "dream houses". Couple of contributing factors, they have been told.

-Generally stir crazy, they just WANT
-They lived through Covid and they aren't going to hold themselves back, so they are going to Live Big.

...... That is one way of playing it.
