They can hit up the coconut beach party. Nice blend of 70% rum/tequila and 30% coconut juice.

They also have to have the Mayan hot sauce. A couple drops and you got fire coming out everywhere.
He likes spicy so I'm sure he'll have the Mayan hot sauce. I'll refrain from mentioning the coconut beach party.

Approaching halfway of three weeks no weight bearing on my foot/ankle post surgery. So damn tired of sitting. Realizing how helpful walking/standing normally is and how little I can do that I did not consider prior.

Most around here do it when they are up last I knew.
The only walls we tyvek standing are the garage walls since we build those inside the house because it's flat, which is easier than an uneven, unpoured garage floor.

It's so easy to tyvek walls on the floor, just roll it out, pull it tight, and staple. Most crews are focused on speed rather than quality.

Not exactly sure.

Do you have one of those scooters?

Did my own wall and vaulted ceiling insulation and vapor barrier. Inspector noted I did a lot better job than most crews. Of course I was slow but it was my house so it was going to be done right. First inspection and he looked closely at everything. Next time he gave it a more cursory lookover since he had established I was pretty meticulous.

Last house we did, the inspector wouldn't go down into the basement to inspect the electrical panel until there were stairs, but the basement floor wasn't poured so we couldn't build the stairs, but they won't pour the basement until it warms up significantly.

Scared of ladders or something? Or just a lazy ****?

So, debating whether to make salmon or baked pork tenderloin for my first non-resort food since Feb. 9th. Going to drink pinot noir wine either way.
I had leftover ribs with no wine. Need to drive this evening.
