Thursday #4

Congratulations, Pink...you still don't have a room plus its the third week anniversary of the day Tino originally proclaimed the day the room would be complete. This would be the fourth or fifth time Pink's Room has been promised by a certain date that (was not /will not be) met because, seeing as tomorrow's Friday and the room still looks like this...

...I don't think he's gonna get that one night of sleep in there before the Freiburg game this Saturday.
This week, Tino informed me that his new work schedule (afternoons) is not good for working on the room, and that it is a bad thing for Pink. He gets home very late (midnight or 1 am) and is very tired and must sleep. He didn't mention the time in the morning before work which is probably set aside for log sawing. I did a quick check yesterday and half of one panel of drywall had been added to the ceiling.

So last night Tino came to me with a brilliant plan.
He said, "The problem with work is that I must wear a bandage and that does not let the cut (he cut his hand pretty badly last week if you didn't remember) close right. So tomorrow (this morning) I will go see a doctor and try to get the orange paper."
"Let me guess," I replied," that orange paper lets you to bail on work and you're gonna to spend the day working on Pink's Room?"
"That is my plan," said Tino with a grin.
Beautiful. Skip work to do work. So he worked on the room all day and when I got home tonight, I found an empty house. No Tino. I wander in the room and this is what I see...

Bucket of mud and Tino's workpants...I don't wanna to know.

A drywalled ceiling, a good sign.

Thr room is still a disaster. Notice the alarm clock on the desk...maybe this is the finished product. Pink, pack your shit and come on over. Also notice the light sitting in the shoebox. That used to be the main overhead light in Pink's Room. Now there is no light in the room which is why these pictures were all taken in night mode. Now Tino can't work after sundown...yet another delay.


The wall close to the door has also been drywalled. But notice the wall directly behind, not finished. The drywalling continues...

Notice the fine drywall work in the bottom corner of the room...I'm guessing we're gonna see a whole lotta mud in that area sometime soon, or maybe later.

That's about it as far as an update goes. I've added a day counter at the top right hand corner of the page counting the number of days Pink's been living in a living room so you can all feel very, very sorry for him.
