Projects #1
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.

Would you be so kind as to remove the strange hair/soap creatures that dwell in my shower drain? Between me and Pelegrim, it's like Chewbacca is living in our pipes.
I've been sanding the bathroom vanity for two months now. That's what I get for doing the shabby chic faux crackle on a perfectly good piece of wood.
Norm, how long have you had the "old shack?"
Kook, may Norm suggest Chewbacca after a pubes bath?
LA, most of Norm's personal time references are aligned with TV events. He vaguely remembers some strange intern and a dress being very popular.
(Did they ever get their own show?)
I like a man who cleans! Im sure we have several creatures in our pipes, but its a rental, so really... who cares?
when you say the beavers moved in...you're talking about dam builders, right?
Norm likes everything clean, Mish
Well. Almost everything.
Kitty, most simply: yes.
