And short story . How I Spent My Day.View attachment 1505471 Not so bad lets get a little closer View attachment 1505472 Not So bad lets dig a little deeperView attachment 1505469 View attachment 1505470 No flange the toilt and wax sealing ring sat right on the floor and leaked ruined the floor. Took me six hours to chip away the old and the new flooring back to the slab then another hour to cut out the broken flange pipe to replace it .And believe me when I say it was a chitty job
And the customer bout stroked out when she saw it . Floor was only three years old .
Told her year before last .when I unstopped it we needed to fix it. And it would only get worse. But the tenant needed a bath room
. I'll post pictures of what it is supposed to look like . And it won't leak again .
And now for the sad story . I noticed DW was looking really sad last night , So I asked what was wrong . Wasn't good at all seems that a friend she works with and is very close too lost her husband night before last . I had met them three years ago at a company outing at a dinner theater . We shared a table . They paid for our drinks . Turned out Jason had worked with a couple of architects I knew from jobs I'd done . We talked the whole evening go figure . DW spoke to him every time he came to the hospital where they work really nice couple . When we gave them fresh eggs the first time he wanted to know if the blue ones were ripe .He was only 37 and just 3 days from his birthdayHe went to bed and just didn't wake up. Since no one has spoken to her, that is all we know . I know my heart breaks for his family. It is just one of those sad stories that puts life into perspective. There but for the grace of God go I. Early Thursday morning about 4 AM ,DW and I are going to drive down to Memphis to attend his funeral . It will be a sad day for sure . Live every day to it's fullest find a reason to laugh and smile . Leave a happy memory whenever possible for those we leave behind when it's our turn to go . And with that it's lights out
such words of wisdom, you are a bright light, my dear friend and brother. to the DW too.
I'm kidding. I love, Love, LOVE those boys! 
The kids had very different ideas. One of Frankies BYC friends unleashed an intense (but hilarious) campaign to name her Fluffles, but I knew the name Fluffles would never come out of my mouth, especially not 1,000x a day. Here's a glimpse of last nights family conversation;
animals usually find a name for themselves anyway.
