Sea View Part 4 (Return of Lefty)

When I arrived at the job site, I discovered that Lefty and Wright were back at work. Wright said that he was intending to "garnish" Lefty's pay. It seems that Wright feels that he is entitled to a great deal of compensation for the "expert" care he gave Lefty. There is also the expense of the "Lefty Scam" project to be considered. Lefty is not of the same accord, and likes to make duck noises every time he walks by Wright.

I had planned on doing some demolition in preparation for the refurbishing of the Sea View. From the looks of it the Phist Bros. got a little bit over enthusiastic.






When I ask why they had been so aggressive in demolition, their response was that they were just following Taelyn's orders. It has become necessary for me to once again explain that Taelyn is the "figure head only" supervisor on this job. Lefty and Wright said they will start asking me before they proceed with any project, in the future.





When Wright said "he said to do it", Taelyn was a little upset. Luckily, he got an emergency call from his PDCS. By the time he got back, everything was fine.



The next morning Taelyn decided to help Tarin bring the stairs (living room to second floor hallway) into the house.





I asked why he had used the front door instead of bringing them through the rear of the house, which is wide open. "The hand rail would have been on the wrong side", was Taelyns answer. It is sometimes very hard to understand Taelyn's logic. Don't get me wrong, I still like Taelyn , a lot. I've never known anyone with so much enthusiasm. The stair installation was going well, until!



We got Taelyn untangled and the stairs are now in place. You may have seen one of those charts that mark how many accident free days there have been on a job site. We have two. One for the rest of us and one for Taelyn. Taelyn's very seldom gets past two or three days at the most.


The Phist Bros. have been getting a lot of work done in the living room. The wallpaper is up, and most of the electrical is done. The addition of the carpet and molding should complete the room.

I got a call from the Bank. There is a problem with the financing of this project. The Group, have been making payments for the building materials directly to the Bank. You guessed it, more of that "Pixie Gold". The Bank will only accept currency, from now on. I understand that the Group, has approached Ariel, about helping them get said currency. We'll keep working until we run out of the building materials we have on site, and hope something can be worked out with Ariel.
