As you can clearly see from this photograph, there has not been much progress so far. Week two of construction began this morning at 4am with more pounding and a jack hammer. Which means the crew is either still working on the interior demolition of the house, or they are trapped inside and trying to break out.
Initially, when Nobert told me he was having a professional contractor remodel his home I was happy to hear it. Nobert had done several past “renovations” himself with horrible results. Farrah did the best she could to mitigate his shoddy workmanship by draping about swatches of color in the glassless window holes and adding faux textures to the exterior sheet metal, but her elaborate attempt to distract the eye was unsuccessful. Regardless of what they tell you on the DIY Network, owning a hammer and some protective eyewear does not make you a skilled craftsman.
Nobert also fancies himself a technology expert though I’ve had to tell him countless times that he can not get free TIVO by pointing his satellite dish at someone else’s satellite dish. At one point he had seven dishes on his roof (one for each channel he wanted to receive) but Farrah convinced him he only needed one dish since he only watches Antiques Roadshow anyway.
He is certain his home is full of antiques “just like the ones on the telly”. After each episode of the Antiques Roadshow he rummages through the house to look for similar crap he can pass off as a rare collectible at one of his weekly yard sales. He has yet to sell a single $12,000 lamp shade or $38,000 bud vase from his driveway.
Incredible!
