“It‘s all about knowing which button to push.”

As promised, here are some additional choice quotations and exchanges from the construction workers putting a hole in the side of our abode:

“Next questions is, who’s got balls enough to get it up there.”

“I can do it right or left, it don’t matter to me.”

“I don’t want any one gettin’ hurt, especially on the head.”

A: “If that falls on me, I’m gonna hit you upside the head.”
B: “If it falls on you, you ain’t gonna be able to.”

A: “You were looking up my skirt. Tell the truth.”
B: “I had my eyes closed.”
A: “You were looking up my skirt.”

I don’t spend my day eavesdropping, really, I don’t.

…when I woke up, there was a hole in our wall!

Okay, I am being dramatic. I didn’t sleep through a hole being knocked in our building. I did nap through some of it. My napping abilities border on narcoleptic.

[Overheard, from one of the contractors:
“That Martha Stewart hammer you got ain’t gonna do it.”]

We are knocking a hole from the inside to the outside courtyard. When I write “we”, I mean that the contractors are knocking a hole in the wall. I am watching and covering my ears.

Sean is keeping a more detailed, brick-by-brick account…

Take care,
