Our friend Dave came over around 2am for an inspirational speech. I think he convinced us that being landlords would be a good idea. A part of me wants to go back to a pre-manual labor era and another part of me finds it all fun to do something besides compute.

Update --> It is done. We have built a shower for our new tenant. Soon it will be all done and we can buy the other house down the street.

Well at least I hate getting yelled at while attemping plumbing. After reading google, I just realized that I was wrapping the teflon tape counterclockwise instead of clockwise. Now I feel dumb because the side where I wrapped the tape the wrong way is leaking.

I am so sad about this whole thing. (e:matthew) and (e:terry) don't want to be landlords anymore. I wish that they were more excited because it is bringing me down. I am really happy when I have to try and solve problems that are time consuming and tricky. I think that is why I like prgoramming so much. They just get really bored and angry.

The downstairs neighbors also told us that the lady we rented to is bringing her kid to live there. I wish that she had told us that. I hate it when people aren't upfront. I am also tired of being too nice. We are going to make virtually no money on this until after 5 years the way it looks. Sometimes, it seems important to work for things that will pay off in the future as I am getting older. On the other hand I can do so many cerebral things that make lots of money, that I don't know if it is worth getting my hands greasy.

Here it is mr.leaky leak.


There is a leak in the back.Hopefully, someteflon tape will fix it.(E:twisted) has patched me through to her plumber friend.Long live the sidekick 1.

This is so much work. I hurt my non-mosuing thumb? Argh but it's coming along,now it's just fighting the drip.





At this point it seemed really exciting. I thought that it was done.

In about ten minutes we are going to have to turn this ordinary bathtub into a shower for our new tenant. I am quite nervous about losing my mousing arm. The is what it looks like now and a drawing of what it will look like when we are done.

Strangely enough, the shower box says that it contains chemicals which are known to cause cancer in birth defectss in the state of CA, I am glad we live in NY.
