We went out to inspect a efflorescence problem in a home overlooking the Harbor yesterday. Complete remodel.
I've seen al ot but the stuff in this home was so top of the line it made my head hurt.
Rare Marbles like I've never seen, Granite counters that had a texture that no one there could explain, course enough to show each and every grain's out line. Not flamed but?
Fixtures and appliances that only show up in Architectures Digest. Pedestal sinks all custom made of Black Absolute.
You name it.
I turned the problem over to Dave the Marble guy and ran like hell.
Literally.
Next place was the biggest White Trash dump heap I've just about ever seen.
Up Hwy 9 into Felton, up a road 2 inches wider then the V. FOur broken down cars, Garbage, stumps, motor blocks, land slides the whole package.
Mrs Foxworthy met us in the "Drive way" and apologized for the mess in HIS garage that was "All her hubby's toys"... Since when is garbage, more engine blocks, junk and pure crap considered "toys"?
She promised us HER house was clean and immaculate inside.
LOL!!!!
The wool rug she wanted us to remove dog shit from was folded over her fine Corinthian vinyl sofa letting the twenty pounds of baking soda she dumped on it get everywhere. Tumble weeds of dog hair was everywhere. If not for the tasteful WWF posters and Thomas Kincaid pin ups I would have thought only a single man lived here.
I told her that vacuuming up the wet baking soda would ruin my vacuum so she brought her Eureka dirt cup. It was already full of powder so I asked her to dump it out for me.
Having no trash pick up service she though nothing of emptying it right off the back deck.
I filled the canister again, impacted it actually, which considering it was only one month old was very impressive.
This container went into the front "Flower Garden"...... My helper and I were in tears.
The Costcoian fine textile came out beautiful to say the least.
I give it a day before Chompers or Hubby dumps again.
Stuff like this makes it all worthwhile.
