Work Session

Okay, I haven't written much about the kitchen remodel lately, and quite honestly, I haven't asked for much help recently either. So, now that the tank is full, I want to request some hands to get some work pounded out this weekend.

I have been lollygagging around on most of the tasks recently and need a surge to get some stuff done.

Can anyone help out on Saturday morning for a few hours? I'm looking for 4-5 people but can take more or less. Here's the relatively unexciting list:

1) Move all the misc. stuff in the dining room down to the basement/garage.
-Refrigerator
-Cabinets
2) Clean out the garage.
-Lots of dirt from ceiling removal and wood storage
-organize the scrap metal pile (depending on who shows, this could include a trip to the scrap yard)
3) Refinish 2 interior doors
-Strip
-Sand
-Stain or paint
4) Install toekick veneer
5) Paint vent cover
6) Install Under Counter lights by the range
7) Tile the bathroom floor
-This one is advantageous with the rest of the list, but if someone wants to learn how to tile, I will make this a priority. It probably won't take very long, and I could even plan for this one on Sunday.
8) Trim out the new window (interior and exterior)

Post here or email if you can help. I'm flexible on times. We have a party on Saturday afternoon and that is it. Do plan on hitting Oktoberfest thought too.

For the first time, a P&G product did me wrong:


Other than a couple of instances where I was testing product… namely, the deodorant panel I did a couple years ago that made my pits burn, for the first time, a P&G product did me wrong. I was brushing my teeth yesterday with Crest Pro-Health… good stuff, they need to make it in neat squeeze though. A large glob had run down my bottom lip… not the white froth, but the actual paste. I know, I know, how did it get there??? The Power Ranger tooth brush has been a little precarious as I bit my lip extremely bad on Saturday and have pretty good wound from it that has forced me to maneuver the brush strangely.

So, to get the glob I suck in real hard only for it to shoot to the back of my throat which then caused a whole slew of repercussions ranging from severe sneezing to watery eyes. There was some coughing in there too all while Frank is freaking out and the Power Ranger is still on. The symptoms continued most of the morning… sorta felt like allergies.

Crest needs to add a warning to their label for this.
