Maybe Something Will Get Done Today?

Ah, the glorious rainy season is here. The only problem is that Todd The Saxophonist/Carpenter and Joseph the Recording Engineer/Carpenter have not finished their jobs and they can't work in the rain. This means J-Whack the Painter can't paint the new wood because the new wood is still on the sidewalk. This means when the Plotniks go to The Big Shmapple next week they will have to decide whether or not to suspend the project. Either way they will have to pay to keep the scaffolding an extra month. This probably means the job won't get done even by...oh., stop it. Construction gets done when construction gets done. It will not be hurried.

But it's nobody's fault but the homeowners. If they hadn't changed their mind and ordered new windows, there would not have been a five week delay. The new windows are installed and they're very nice. But there you have the reason behind the delay.



Also, who knew there is so much labor involved in putting together Victorian moldings? Plot and Duck have been following Todd and Joseph around, watching how precise their saw cuts have to be and how many there are. They are basically doing finish carpentry, the kind of work you'd do on fine cabinetry, and applying it to the front of a house. It's beautiful to watch. But it takes a long time.



The sun just came out. Plotnik looks outside, thinking...maybe the carpenters are here? Maybe the painter is here? Maybe something will get done today?
