Communication...

This past weekend Bob and Cindy rolled up their sleeves again and joined in the restoration efforts at the house. While Bob began with electrical boxes, Cindy was assigned, by her brother, Red, to mud the joints on the freshly hung drywall in the bedroom. Cindy, happy to accept her first task went right to work. I wasn't here for the first couple of hours as I had to run a few errands with Amanda in Conifer, which also included the ever important tall-decaf-mocha-no-whip and a few garage sales...Shhhhh

So, while I'm in the comfort of my daughter's air conditioned van, sipping mocha throughout the pretty Conifer landscapes on my way back to the house, I learn that my poor sister-in-law is really struggling with the mud and trowel work on the walls. Sadly, she was trying to make it as perfect and smooth to match the other walls in the room...walls that were already mudded and sanded by Amanda and myself earlier that morning! Apparently, Red had neglected to share that most important detail with her when he gave her a brief rundown on drywall operations. Poor Cindy...she was so diligent. By the way, her work was absolutely beautiful!!! She's hired! Red's Fired!
