Gorilla sighting in Seminole Heights

Me and Sparks kid about gorillas at work all the time. Florida is full of them. It must be the tropical climate.

I see them all the time.

You see them all the time.

The difference between me and you is that you don't call them gorillas.

A gorilla is that person you should have never hired to do that job. What in the world were you thinking? What was he thinking?

Sure, he said he could put up wainscot in my bathroom, and I was kind of suspicious when he showed up with one of those roofing hammers, but now I have these boards in my house with waffle prints all over them. There's even a nail bent over in the corner. How am I supposed to make that look good?

I feel your pain. Someone thought it would be cool put jalousie windows in the back of my house. The same person also built my roof addition that's sagging terribly on the eaves.

I'm convinced that most rehabbers are gorillas. Slap some paint on there, little bit of caulk and sell it for an exhorbitant amount. In some ways I am glad the housing market is down. Hopefully it will drive some of those gorillas further south or something.

In the meantime, if you want quality work - I'll be here.

    Gorillas, huh? If you hadn't said they were in Seminole Heights, I might have thought you were talking about me...you still might have, but I feel a little better now.

    As I said on my blog, I'm glad you've found that peace, man.
