Framed...

As noted on the “Trickhart’s Blog Of Yesterday’s News”, the contractor has completed the framing of the first floor of the big giant box next door. It promises to be quite a monstrosity. When people drive down our street they stop, gawk, and roll their eyes in disbelief. They ask me if our neighborhood is zoned for a Wal-Mart Supercenter.

The pictures on Nobert’s blog must be of another construction site. They look nothing like the mess that is going up in his yard. It’s horrible. Just as I expected it would be. And it’s only the first floor.

While Nobert was gushing about what a great framing job the construction crew is doing he failed to mention how badly the project started off. His contractor, being inexperienced, hired his initial team of framers from Aaron Brothers Art Mart. They framed the house... with a giant PICTURE FRAME.

Worse yet - they were not even good “picture framers”. They erected a massive eighty-foot square, contemporary styled, gold-leafed picture frame on the sidewalk in front of Nobert’s house. The frame did nothing to compliment the décor or color scheme of the construction site. It also put the Trickharts $30,000 over budget and is now decomposing in a landfill.

As Nobert told me, “You pay what you get for.”
(That’s not a typo, it’s a “Nob-o”)
