Buying a Job on Market Friday

Yes it does sound a bit ass-backwards. Should we not expect to be paid for doing work. Well in my DIY nightmares, it is always me spending precious dollar to buy more work to do LOL.

This is what my future holds for me... Heavy and back breaking. How heavy you ask? Well in technical terms these 42 packs of fun weight literally a shit-ton. Now I know many people reading this probably live in countries with metric measurements, so to be fairly inclusive allow me to add the metric equivalent from Urban Dictionary:

A Shit-ton is equivalent to 24 metric assloads, or 1/10th of a fuck-ton.

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Shit-ton

See in the DIY world, precision measurements is foundational.

I need so much as I am covering about 1500 square feet. I took up the old carpet and have been parting that out in the trash a bit every week. I am sure the trash guys will be happy when this job is over lol.

Of course if the house was empty, it would make things much easier. Alas it is what it is, and we much persevere. The saving grace of the whole deal is at least it is cheap! For less than 2 bucks a square foot, this is done and done.

Plus as a bonus, you get 11% cash back from Menards. Of course for the best experience, it is highly suggested that while at Menards, make sure to stop over in the candy aisle and grab some of these. YUM!

Haha, excellent definition!

That's a big job, I don't envy you that - or trying to get of the original carpet.

I like to tell myself it is like a free gym membership! 😆

Ugh !! but looks good.....

Well, being emptying is sometimes harder to do even just easy to do. I guess, I just love a messier environment. lol

By the way, 11% cash back is huge.

Yeah the 11% is a sweet deal and keeps me shopping there!

I saw a mess is simply in the eyes of the beholder. I usually am able to feel free to work better in a messier environment!!

I saw those French burnt peanuts again. That's what's I'm more interested the most rather than the shts and fcks lol!

I am addicted to those French burnt peanuts!! I cant get enough of them!

I'm addicted to nuts in general but I haven't tried that one yet. Still no luck finding one around here :D

I see a chiropractor or a long soak in the tub after this type of work. Everything is coming along by the looks of it.
