Fathers in Law

[ChefWide]

Oh my. somebody tell me that I don't have to cry by myself:

the wall I took down between the kitchen and the living room had a big fuckoff gap where I took out the adjoining cinderblock, filled with concrete, finished it with light grit cement. All my F.I.L. had to do was spackle the fucker and sand it.

How do I put this lightly... he has used the same weight of Spackle as I used of finishing cement!

WHAT THE FUCK!?!? I can't take the job away from him, but I move in on friday whether he is still sanding and filling and sanding and filling and sanding and OH MY FUCKING DAWG!


I have to kill him. with my wife's femur for siding with him.

My father in law and my wife decided to build a chicken coop for her and our two young kids to enjoy....


I thought ok, cool....free eggs....


Damn coop cost me a THOUSAND BUCKS...yes $1000 in wood/materials/etc......and now I find out the the damn chicken feed is twenty bucks a month...


I'm so stupid.

I wonder how long it would take to pick up chinese in Canton?


After sanding so much spackle that he went down to cement AGAIN last night (I mean an INCH of dust on the floor) he added more spackle 'just to even things out' and I had to tell him that we will smooth out the really rough spots together tonight and that I was sorry but we would just have to settle for an imperfect wall as we have run out time. Really sorry. Really sorry that we used just under 6kg of spackle. Yes folks, thats over 13 lbs of spackle and all his work time for three fucking days when I desperately needed him to do what he offered to do: PAINT!!. For 3 nights running I vacuumed up an inch of powder, 4 or 5 feet square, from the floor on both sides of the room.

Somebody shoot me. Seriously. I had to shatter my jaw with a hand maul to keep from going off on him last night when he was complaining about being tired of trying to fix this wall.

I will get a stroke from the stress induced by my unfair expectations of those around me. It's my fault. It's my fault. It's my fault.

There. All better now.

My FIL is very dumb and friendly

 

[ChefWide]

OH, don't get me wrong, he is VERY friendly and has helped us out to no end. He is just an expert on fucking EVERYTHING. I used to lay concrete anchors for bridge cables when I worked construction. I know a little bit about mixing ratios and slake times etc, but I am no expert, by any means. I DO know however that in many cases, lighter is stronger. He was ADAMANT about me filling the entire gap from the wall removal with SOLID CONCRETE! It's neither load bearing nor is it exposed to an outside wall, but packing the deep parts with stryrofoam filler to lessen cure time and to avoid having to reinforce with more than chicken wire was out of the question. I waited until he left and did it anyway, cured over the weekend and unless you break it down again no one will notice: ever. The other way would have taken 3 times the product and would have taken at least two or three applications instead of one. But he's the expert.

I knew I was in trouble when I had to hand him the compound knife instead of the trowel.
