   Much better. Maybe you should just do the whole door.

   Do they have brown duct tape for the floor?

   Oh, my god. I’m sorry I brought any of this up.

   Really, folks, we have a beautiful house. A little shabby, sure, but interesting and welcoming and structurally sound, for the most part. Honest.

   God damn it.

   It’s too bad you guys don’t know anyone with the tools and skills required to fix something like this.

   They had a really nice pink I thought you might like. I could do accents and edges…. The blue is nice too–but it looks too much like that blue masking tape they use right before they paint.

   Michael, are you volunteering?

   Even if I had the tools, I can’t promise you I could fix a house like this.

   I can’t read what you said through my tears.

    Well…I’ve been wanting to learn some of those skills. And I have a cordless drill. That’s the appropriate tool, right?

    Quick. Do you have any photos of parts of the house that look better? Where the rot is, you know, masked by the light or something?

12. Michael Smith on March 12th, 2010 at 4:30 pm

    Cindy, this is your house, right? Mmmm. Cake.

13. Cindy Scroggins on March 12th, 2010 at 4:42 pm

    Yes. And I see that some duct tape is needed for the white bump of wood that separates the rooms (I’m sure there’s a word for that, but I’m traumatized).

    I wonder if something like paint would help?

    Daryl, that is a beautiful job. With the added advantage of not having to use a paint brush.

    I have lived in this house for 22 years or so now and there is still one room that has never been decorated – I’ve been getting to it. No, the truth is I haven’t. Many, many years ago I did a good job on the rest of the house and as I moved around all the crap gravitated to this one room – it happens to be the nicest room in the house and yet it is full of crap. We still call it the dog’s room, she’s been dead over 10 years. I’m thinking that duct tape might have a place here.

    Duck is a registered trademark for a brand of duct tape already. I wonder if they know about these Ace Hardware shenanigans.

    At one of my schools where I was librarian, chipped up/broken tiles (probably with asbestos content) on the floor got their broken edges duct-taped.

    Cindy, y’all’s house is beautiful and interesting and welcoming. I never seem to get enough time in your kitchen to be able to look at all the visually wonderful items there, or in the rest of your house for that matter. I never would have guessed that you guys used duct tape on anything.

    Oh, and Cinta Blanca is the name of my next album.

    Cindy – Even peeing in your hall bathroom was a delightful experience.

    Peeing in the margarita jug really got me off.
