I’m game for the scissor kick to the head. House work sucks.

All of my interior projects are on hold right now for outside stuff. (patio, sidewalk, driveway, outdoor grill, etc.) She’s bitching because of flooring, but I’m not working inside while it’s nice out.

I did seem to enjoy kicking the drywall off the back of the old closet.

And no there is no pool planned!! Finishing the basement is going to take priority.

Yep I used that same line. Now three project cars later, with maybe a fourth on the way, my wife is seeking a good divorce attorney…:love: NOT!!!

Used Pergo for the floor. I love working with this stuff. Really easy to install, it all snaps together to make really tight seams. Just have to leave a 1/4" gap on the perimeter for expansion. I might do some other rooms whenever it’s time to replace carpet.
