About 30 sq ft of 1.5" boards are seriously cupped.

Amazing. 4-6" boards I can see cupping, but not those toothpicks.
Try putting a finish on the replacement wood, eh? ;-/

I think the contractor called it right. Replacement valid.

Yeah. Dirty water he said. Bacteria, fungus...

We're going to go get some paint chips this morning. I still have the
flooring sample. But we can wait till the floor's down before making
final colour decisions.

Go light so the contrast is high. Maybe that Jewish ceiling color,
beige? Booful! gd&r

We collected the paint chips this morning, and we's of the same frame
of mind. High contrast. We are thinking about one accent wall. We can
wait until the floor is down before picking colours. Leaning towards a
very subtle, very pale blue.

Who knew that 5 gallons of water from an aquarium could change our
entire decor!

Aquariums can be mighty expensive.

No ****, Sherlock. I got a deal a couple of weeks ago on some fish I've
wanted to have again (last had them when I in high school), tiger
oscars. Fellow had a pair he was letting go for $10 each.

Oscars, eh? The effeminate piranha of the aquarium world.

Chuck you, Farley!

Oscars ain't no effeminature of any kind! They is the Labradors of the
aquarium world, 'scept they don't shed.

What other fish will wag its tail when it sees you, and perform "UP!"
to get fed?

Sal****er Toby. And most other puffers.
