So, to appreciate the power and glory of this tool it may help you to know that on Wednesday after work I spent 1.5 hours taking up half a tile with a hammer and a crowbar. To say it was demoralizing and emasculating fit the bill all to well. At that moment, the ceramic tile held the upper hand in the relationship and it let me know it. How you ask? Oh, it had its ways.
But the victory that it sensed was short-lived dear friends. Tyler, the protagonist of this lovely tale came out on top.
Seriously, this thing cost like $50 bucks a day to rent and it makes you feel awesome about your life. If psychologists knew about the power of this tool to change the way people feel about themselves, they'd know that their best days are behind them. Tara got down on this bad boy as well... ata girl. Wow, I love this woman!
Hello Friends,
Funny story (well to me) during my three hours of taking all this nasty ceramic up, I started yelling at the ceramic about how I was fully victorious and it was pathetically losing. Tara called me out in front of her parents that night about screaming at the tile. That's the equivalent to someone talking about you flexing in the mirror after the shower...just me...well of course. Anyway, I manned up to me verbal tirades while using this machine because I felt it was owed a proper tribute after our paths magically crossed.
Please, if anyone knows of a tool that has similar psychological benefits, I would love to know about it.
Good bye, dear friend (2/20/2010 8am - 2/20/2010 1pm). You lived an awesome albeit short time in our house.
What a beautiful house and what a fun project! I've found the most invaluable tool when it comes to home renovations is, well, my Dad! :) Tara, you could play the I'm-Your-Niece card and see if you can get him to come over! :)
