But I have seen all of them. > Ignore the page numbers, they’re for my personal > reference. Hmm. Lemme take a guess, anyway... page numbers in a home maintenance book? > Sorry to load you with stuff, but upon reflection, I > think accounting, being > sums and numbers, isn’t all that interesting to read > about, but dealing with > domestic > disasters is. I completely agree. Plus I have absolutely no grasp on numbers, but I have a pretty good grasp on basement floods. Heh. Comments interspersed throughout. > > 1. Basement waterproofing/Basement flooding. (page > 26). Yeah, defnitely that one. > 2. Bats (in attics) (page 28) I think they should be mentioned in passing. Or someone can name 'em all. > 3. Bathtub recaulking (page 27). > Over time the settling of a house results in a crack > between the rim of the > bathtub and the wall. > Cracks may also appear between the sink and the wall > or in the shower stall. Sounds fine. We'll see how many problems we can fit in without overdoing it. > 4. Bleaching the woodwork (page 38) I don't think that's a priority at this moment in time... > 5. Boilers (p. 43) > expansion tank bleeding > routine maintenance > curing a steam boiler of frequent > cycling. Sure, but I'd definitely need more information on that. > 6. Bookcase building (p. 45) Wait, is Hank here? Hank *needs* his bookcases. ;) He can recruit Bobby into helping him. > Bobby finds Storm knee deep in water. Henry asks, or > Kurt, no not him, > Peter? No, who? Logan, when’s the last time the tubs > were recaulked? Logan: How the hell should I know, bub? I never use the damned tubs.... Come to think of it, the man probably *does* bathe in a stream outback. > 7. Braiding rugs (p.49) > The X-people don’t have rugs or carpetting in the > rooms. Any rooms. Ooooh. They can make 'em out of old uniforms. > 8. Cleaning and painting the louvers (p. 245) *shuffles feet, looks embarrassed* Ah, what's a louver? > 9. Removing Mildew (p. 256.) *shudder* Yeah. But that doesn't have to be a major point. > 10. Roof Repair (p. 324) > finding leaks (the hardest part) and fixing > them. Dripping water travels > for a while, so it could be days, weeks maybe, > before the leak is found. Always fun. You have your flyers handle that. > 11. Shingling a roof (p.341) > 12. Putting in a new outdoor barbecue. > > 13. Soundproofing the bedrooms (359). > > Which could be a great idea for debate. > > So, these are just ideas. Anyway, I know that wasn't very specific, but anything that involves flooding and waterproofing are the first things to attend to in the mansion. The other things can be minor points as the story goes along. (Mentioned in passing, or whatever) Okay. Now on to the next emails I'm gonna send you.
