the opposite of progress

whats that you ask? i don't really want to assign a specific word to it like regress, backwards, backing up, recession, not moving forward, go back, doing something you already did, paying somebody some more money, etc. i will just say it's basically whats happening at the ole job site. i also don't want to discuss the whys of this recent turn of events. lets just say when chris broke the news to me i turned into what i can only assume resembled the love child of yosemite sam and the tasmanian devil. there was a lot of me spinning around, kicking dirt and saying things like "frackin rackin no good lily livered so and so" except i used the real words. oh yea. so its one step forward, ten to twenty steps back. its like the texas two step out there.

the progress thus far looked something like this...

notice chris is scratching his head, maybe that was a sign of things to come....

and the littlest building inspector thinks something seems amiss as well.

ah, oh well. nothing to do now, but to get it done. and so it begins again, for like the second time. i'm not sure how many times you are supposed to start building the same house, but in my experience its at least twice.

  1. Get used to it. Maybe reconsider. Home Depot has a great deal on a 650 sq. ft. 2-story garage kit with a cool gambrel roof. A little modification on the doors, attach a 12'X 12' storage unit for a nice large bathroom and you're good to go in less than a month for under $10,000. We did have a great neighborhood didn't we? I can see Santa walking up the drive now. Were you old enough to remember that?

  3. Well Don, apparently the Santa visit is a vivid memory for little Jamie. Just ask the staff writers at the Statesboro Herald. In her version, there was snow and I don't think Santa was drinking milk.
