Making Progress . . . or Pulling Teeth
Posted on April 28, 2006 - Filed Under Housing |
After several days of nothing being done, I called the Handyman. He still has work to do but he is stalling.
SFX: Phone Rings
Handyman: Hello Clifford.
Clifford: Hello Handyman. How are you?
Handyman: I’m fine. How are you?
Clifford: I’m doing great. Thanks for asking.
Handyman: Good. What can I do for you?
Clifford: I’m calling to find out what you’re going to do today.
And with that, he went to work. I didn’t want to ask him "when" but "what" he was going to do. I think he got my point. When I mentioned this to my mentor, he simply said "Cliff, it’s the people who understand the time value of money that get ahead."
He’s right.
First, Handyman is in process of getting the new kitchen window done. I can’t believe I don’t have a good photo of the old kitchen window. But this window is twice as long as the last window.

And with the removal of the back windows, you can’t even tell that they were there.

He does great work. When he works.

First, I'll get some pics of the ceiling and get them up here tomorrow.
