Some major house repairs finished.

[John Coloccia]

After that freak windstorm, the airplane crash, and that horrible comet incident, I really had to make some repairs. I had a guy out at the house this morning, and they got it done. Considering the circumstances, I wasn't really expecting perfection, and honestly I think the craftsmanship is pretty good. I'm satisfied. My wife, on the other hand, is convinced he ripped us off and used really cheap materials. What do you think?

Also, he left a bunch of construction debris and some tools.

How have you not eaten that house yet?

I've enjoyed the clever daily updates. I continue to be tricked and open each thread only to find your gingerbread house!

Happy Holidays!

[Jerry Bruette]

Your wife may have a keener eye for quality craftsmanship than you.

I'm also surprised that a local wolf hasn't shown up to raise havoc with your little project.

[Pat Barry]

I gotta agree

[Jim Falsetti]

John,

Jeesh, what a bunch of terrible luck you have had with that Connecticut house. That looks like a quickie homeowner "sell house" repair job. You better unload that thing before it gets worse.

Hope you are not on a low-carb diet.

I've been trying to sell it, but the financials are looking worse and worse. Something keeps eating into the profits.

[Tom Stenzel]

John, I don't know if I should laugh or suggest you have your furnace tended to. It might have a leak somewhere.

I think the new standing seam side that doesn't match the other side will make it a tough sell down the road. I think a total tear-down is in order soon.

[Lee Schierer]

When is the landscaper coming to replace the trees?

[Bonnie Campbell]

My suggestion is to just let the birds have it for a song

[Dan Hintz]

If the house is liveable, that's the biggest deal. Anything else is just icing on the cake :D

It looks to me that he didn't finish the job or cleanup the job site....

He'll be back. First rain, and that roof patch is gonna disintegrate. Either that, or a few reindeer will fall through into the living room.

[Matt Meiser]

Looks like you spent some bread on those repairs.

[Kent A Bathurst]

Looks like you spent some bread on those repairs.

True. Some serious bread. And yet, it still looks like a crummy job.

[John Coloccia]

Well, I'm afraid the whole thing might finally be toast.

[Ryan Mooney]

I'll try not to sugar coat it or butter you up, but do have to agree with others that it was a crumby job. It's the kind of repair that eats away at you while you wonder if there are other pieces you can't see hidden behind it.

Even with that though it's still a sweet little place, that I think anyone would have been proud to have had. Although I admit to not having a consuming desire for one of my own.

Great response Ryan.
