How Many Monkeys???

so have you ever had to do a home improvement project? well if you haven't, be thankful. (You Jerk.) And if you have, tell me... did you have the same issues we are having? let me explain...yes?
So we are getting our humble (oh so VERY humble) abode all prettified and ready to be presented to the world and all those in it as a piece of real estate that they should probably be maiming each other over, JUST for the CHANCE of putting in an offer to purchase, and yes a death match IS a rather small price to pay for the honor of actually living there. So you see what we have in mind yes? 1300 sq ft of pure brick bliss. ANYWAYS...we have some things to do repairwise... and it seems that there is a price you must pay to the universe for the dubious honor of ACTUALLY completing a repair. And that price seems to be...if you fix a small problem, then during the process of the repair you are required by universal law to find a bigger problem. This "bigger problem" MAY seem relatively simple upon first sighting...but IN FACT it WILL without question cost no less than TWICE what the original issue would have cost. And this is assuming that you are trying to fix the original issue the cheesy way. Or as my Da calls it "Jerry rigging" (duct tape and wire, yes?). Now if you are being a good and honest individual as Zelph and i try to be...you will inevitably and up paying at least 3x as much because, well you are fixing both problems the "right way". PLUS it will naturally take 5x longer than the cheesy way. This seems to me to be rather unfair. So needless to say, we have many days of spending money on things we don't want to spend money on, so that OTHER people can enjoy the newly tiled bathroom floor or the working (for the first time in 2 years) kitchen light. They had better make it a good ass death match. I expect to be entertained for all my trouble.
So to sum up.... Home repairs are shite, Death Matches rock my socks, and there are 7 monkeys.
meh.
