Don't These Workers Ever Take a Day Off?

The men who are working on our house don't seem to take Saturdays off.

Today we had two brickies and two floor finishers.

Our porch is no longer in danger of falling down thanks to Benny and his assistant. Mike the Contractor told me that his regular brickie was on a job for one of the colleges and was working 6 days a week. So he called Ray the Concrete Guy to find another. Mike's requirement? That his name end in a vowel. It seems that there is a lot of truth to the stereotype of Italians being great masons. And as you can see, we had a brickie with lots of experience.





The floor was sanded, buffed, and the first coat of clear finish was applied. However, we are not thrilled with the result so we will have another discussion with Mike on Monday morning.




But we were thrilled our Toad Lily.



And then we capped off our day with The Atomic Dogs.
