Patching and repainting all the S*it work that was done to this house right before I bought it 2.5 yrs ago, whoever was in it got kicked out, repairs are worse than an untrained baby ape could have done, had A/C repaired as they did BARELY enough to pass "inspection" - $900, geez......no pride - and the joy of being on antibiotics for another week, the bathroom is my friend ;)

I am really getting sick of 330# rolls of shrink film.

I think you say this every year, Jake. LOL

How many down and how many to go barring stragglers? Do you have one of those fork mounted carpet rods on your forklift to make it easier on your back? For what they cost, you could probably knock one together for pennies.

Ha, new forum...well, last count puts it at 31 shrinky dinks to go. My body hates me. Probably down to less than 100 winterizations to go. They keep calling though. Seems like a lot of new boat owners this year. A lot of repairs need doing before I can winterize also. Busy busy.
