Casa De La Disssarray

Jumping through hoops-

What do you get when a musician and a pet sitter try to refinance their home?
A 3 ring circus.
After 3 long months of "we'll just need you to fax this over now,"
it's finally finished.
The creme de la creme was us going to sign the final paperwork.
Upon arriving at the escrow company we realized that we had neglected
to write down the suite number and didn't know where to go.
As we entered the building we saw this:

Charlie and I got the giggles and it went downhill from there.
As we signed the final paper, we noticed that the escrow company
had charged us $1000.00.
For a grand I say we should get to keep the sign!

Suspicion

Charlie mentioned in passing that he updated his life insurance policy.
He also told me that he had taken out a "small" policy on me.
Hmmmmmm.
A few days later he asked me to help him with some siding.
No problem, I'd helped before.
This time was different- it included ladders.

Many ladders, precariously perched tall ladders.

Short ladders balanced over a great chasm in the landing.

I told him that I thought that looked dangerous.
He calmly replied "no, see those nails I put in around the base? It's safe!"
Uh huh.

We got the wall finished. Well, the south wall anyway.

He leaves on tour tomorrow and won't be back until January first.
I'm safe until then.
But then we'll be on to the north wall.

Perhaps I should find out just how much "small" is-

Home improvement hell-
