Locker

So I bought a used old locker on craigslist and cleaned, scraped and repainted (I used the left overs of the house paint and discovered reason #10 that the guy who built our house was a bit of a prong. He didn't open the paint can just opened a small hole poured out what he needed and resealed the hole. I am not sure he stirred the paint which makes it more like paint and less like pudding, which is what is now in the bucket). I used what I could and I think I have to toss the rest, but need to find what color so if I need to repaint the house.

Now it is in the garage attached to the wall. Shortly afterwards the beer stickers attached themselves to the locker(if you got any let me know), so I can secure my shoes and chemicals away from the dogs in the man cave.

BATTLESTAR GALATICA IS BACK!!!!


Reasons the guy who built my house is a putz.
1) he told me it was his first house he ever built
2) he said his speciality was garage door openers
3) it took him over 2 years to build it
4) he hit the gas line with the mini dozer, then told me the contractor did it. Neighbor who watched him do it. " he is building it himself he doesn't have any contractors!"
5) only putting fake rocks on third of the exposed foundation
6) burying garbage in the yard. . . more than usual
7) having too much insulation put in the garage attic -okay this is nice because it is cooler/warmer than it should be.
8) the price he sold it to us. yeah the market was spiking at that time and all other house that were smaller and older were $50,000 more
9) not putting in ...borders (I can't remember what they are called) between the floor and the carpet. "hey, shouldn't be that much of space should there?"
10) see above
11) the countertops
12) the seal on the countertops in the kitchen and bathrooms
13), "so you'll be done on the 1st of June right?, because we are moving in, we already gave notice where we are renting."
14) not painting the borders of the outside of the house with primer first
15) painting more than one coat on the borders
I'll see if I can think of more.
