Norm has come to accept how simple acts of maintenance often morph into bigger and more elaborate projects. Once one accepts this premise, one can actually live in an old shack and retain a sense of humor. Especially this past year, where Norm was actually thinking he was getting a handle on everything. And then all sorts of thing started breaking, falling apart, etc. And then the beavers moved in.
Well Norm recently went to scrub out his shower. A common chore, as Norm likes a clean shower. It's a big one he installed years ago. But this soon evolved into stripping out the old joint sealant. He also popped the drain and removed one of those strange hair/soap creatures that seem to line the inside of pipes over time. Another quick job that turned into a couple hours.
But such is the way of this old shack.
