What I am loving somewhat less than the sense of FUCK YEAH is the fact that I end every destructo session coated, to a greater or lesser degree, in splinters and termite & cockroach shit.
Breaking the roof up into man-portable chunks is going to be a heck of an ordeal, and the two doors (one of which you can see early in the .gif) are way too heavy for me to haul to the dumpster in my driveway unaided.
The homeboy who has been helping whined that he wanted to be present when the roof hit the ground. Expressed no sympathy for his decision to sit home and drink beer instead.
Oh, no, that's what I meant. No sympathy for whiners who complain about not getting to experience something when they're the ones who make the choice to sit on the couch.
In his defense, he thought he'd have family obligations, and when they panned out, he admitted to "well, i thought i'd have dinner, and a beer. which turned into two. which turned into four. which turned into a number i stopped counting because you will kick my ass."
It's nice having someone fifteen years, a foot taller, and a hundred and fifty pounds bigger than I am that level of terrified. The fact that he's my subordinate at the office is just gravy.
I'm not sure if I'll demolish my slab myself or not, since the contractor who will be doing the construction ought to be commencing work fairly soon, and part of what's planned is the pouring of a new one further towards the back of my property, so it'll be, you know, actually flat and level and in one piece.
