Our favourite contractor, John Marriage, is a funny guy. Maybe a little funny-peculiar (aren’t we all) but mostly funny-haha. He used to be one of those TV-show contractors, but decided he would get a real job instead. As a former rival, he has strong opinions about our favourite TV-show contractor, Mike Holmes . I feel that Mike Holmes has important lessons for homeowners to learn about the renovation process, whereas John feels that he’s a big poopy-head, or something. I dunno, who listens.
Anyway, our bathroom renovation is well underway, i.e. we no longer HAVE a bathroom. Just bare walls and some Ditra. (….mmmmm, Ditra……) After a few days of no progress in moving things forward, it was with a heavy heart that I called John to let him know that I was getting very stinky and wanted my shower…
His return message (we never speak directly, I’m a very busy man, what with the naps and the going out for milk) was informative and his reasons credible, and I am no longer concerned that he has abandoned us for a return to the limelight.
At the end of his message, John said “Gee, I hope you’re not going to put all this in your Blog”.
No John, I would never do that.
