So we've torn our kitchen apart for redecorating, and while I was carpenterizing I told the kinder we'd get a newspaper (a special event in itself -- no Old Media for us, no siree!) and bury it in the wall. My eldest said she wanted to write a story and put it in there for some future carpenter to find, and this is what we wrote:
WARNING! BEWARE!!
Beware of ghosts and ghouls in this house.
One time, there was a carpenter named Pedro working here in this house. While he was working, a board fell on his head and he DIED! Now and ever since that happened, he has been haunting this house. He doesn’t let any one else do any carpentry work here, and he really, really hates electricians. Here’s why…
He, Pedro, was working under some temporary bracing when an electrician, being careless and lazy, bumped into the board above him making it fall and it hit Pedro in the back of his neck, breaking it instantly, and sending him to instant death. But because Pedro wasn’t finished with his job, his spirit refused to leave.
It is up to you, worker, to figure out what still needs to be done here. But choose wisely, because if you do the wrong work, the WRATH OF PEDRO will descend upon you, and you will face the grave. And if you do the right task, but do it poorly, then the lesser wrath of pain and a scar on your back and across your face, will happen to you.
SO BEWARE!
Or death will come to you, maybe today.
About your comment on my site:
you started this kitchen a week ago and it's almost done???????????????????????????????????/ ARRRGGGHH!!!
I just called my hub over to the puter and I read your comment to him, very assertively. I don't think he likes you now.
(kidding);)
ps, he does this stuff for a living so we're pretty much good to go, project and tools wise. We spent today in Sarasota working on another kitchen. Which means their kitchen is almost done and mine is just....sitting there.
(sob).
oh! btw, you're right about Sears Outlet.. we bought our washing machine there too. works great, runs like new.
