we interrupt this blog to thank the many fine manufacturers, companies and products that have gone into this project.
special thanks to:
- brooks lumber, located across the street from the old tiger stadium, where marc travelled four, sometimes five times a day. special shout-out to carlisa the cashier, who started to anticipate marc's needs to the point that she was telling him what he should buy next.
- "bill" the plumber, whose off-licence plumbing job under the house saved us a whole lotta trouble and pain
- ikea, which provided us with more gear than we could ever imagine could fit in a kitchen. but surprisingly, it all did.
- target, for providing the kids with much-needed entertainment devices
- cedarland, los galanes, slows BBQ, beirut by night and panera bread for keeping us fed
- honeybee market (la colmena) for providing us with nearby milk and cream
- tecate, corona, and many other beers for keeping us, um, hydrated
- DAP expandofoam, varathane, martha stewart paint, aluminum tape, shiny bubble insulation, acme mold and mildew remover and a zillion other products of that nature
- larry (marc's dad) for loaning his circular saw (and bringing it back after we returned it to him, because we realized we still had stuff to saw)
no thanks to:
home depot, whose hot water installer charged us three times as much for a drip pan as they sell them for at lowe's
enterprise rental cars, for swapping our cool pontiac vibe for a less-room PT cruiser
fedex and ups for being sticky about shipping stuff to canada
the weather, which has been stinking hot. all the better to dry the paint, though...
and now back to our regular programming...
