the watch of time

For those of us having some home renovation done, there may be troublesome issues lurking in recesses of the engagement…

• A source of light emerges on its own from beneath the basement
• Measure twice, cut once is considered interchangeable with measure once, cut twice
• An excavation on the property reveals the remains of a lost civilization
• Workers’ tools are covered in discount store wrapping
• The company owner does daily performance reviews on-site
• Loose pieces of tile are turned into frisbees during lunch breaks
• Job cost estimates include refund allowances for broken furniture
• Workers’ background music selections really suck
• Drawings to scale are based on weight
• Water, water, everywhere, but none is in the sink

Of course, one of the fun aspects about renovating is that it never truly seems to be finished.
