You Can Call Me Critical

But I have to tell it like it is.

      They have been working on the house across the street for 7-9 months. They gutted it inside and out and put all this work into it and look how they left the entry.

      I know they intended to leave it this way because they already installed the siding around the beams. Three weeks it was stripped before they installed the siding. Lack of thinking leading to no final vision and a bad outcome.

      How will they make them disappear? Invisible paint?

      They could have gotten rid of all three beams and had a welder tuck some square tube behind that fascia and run two tubes to the ground before they poured the concrete. Total cost? Probably $800. (to redo it now? probably

$3 grand+.)

      Next time you think I'm too critical (and I try to not be) realize I might simply have a different point of view.  🙂

Hello, My name is Dale. I was quit 18 months before joining this site and had participated on another site during that time. I learned a lot there and brought it with me. I joined this site the first week of August 2008. I didn't pressure myself to quit. HOW I QUIT I didn't count, I didn't deny myself to get started. When I considered quitting (at a friends request to influence his brother to quit), I simply told myself to wait a little longer. No denial, nothing painful. After 4 weeks I was down to 5 cigarettes from a pack a day. The strength came from proving to myself, I didn't need to smoke because I normally would have smoked. Simple yes? I bought the patch. I forgot to put one on on the 4th day. I needed it the next day but the following week I forgot two days in a row I put one in my wallet with a promise to myself that I would slap it on and wait an hour rather than smoke. It rode in my wallet my first year.There's nothing keeping any of you from doing this. It doesn't cost a dime. This is about unlearning something you've done for a long time. The nicotine isn't the hard part. Disconnecting from the psychological pull, the memories and connected emotions is. :-) Time is the healer.
