Shed From Hell
WOW, I’ve been so busy lately! I’m in the middle of moving to a new house and I’m trying to help my parents get their house back in order from Katrina as much as I can. There’s one project that’s been totally kicking my ass and that is building the shed from hell. It’s a prefab plastic 7′ x 10′ unit manufactured by Rubbermaid. It was packaged in two oversized boxes and it’s intended to replace the one that Katrina blew to smithereens two years ago.
The instructions claimed 2 hours assembly time which has to be either a typo or an outright lie. It’s more like 2 hours per panel! And there’s about 14 panels. The strangest thing is this weird looking symbol that’s been slowly materializing on the side now that it’s nearly complete, not sure what it means though…
Blogs Gone Wild has been going really strong, I recently did a complete redesign of the site and it now runs on Wordpress and includes a blog for updates and site news. Something I had been wanting to do for a long time.
Free Blogger Skins has grown like crazy too, it now gets over 80,000 hits a month! It’s also in the Top 200 blogs listings on Technorati, that’s just crazy! I’ve also been doing some contract web work for a local company outside of Blogs Gone Wild, I would like to get more of that.
I just recently did another makeover for The Redneck Mommy, she wanted the conversion to Wordpress that I did for her a few months back converted again into a 3 column template. I think it came out great, if you’ve never read her, she’s awfully engaging and fun to read and very, very popular.You guys really should check her out.
Here’s a few more that I’ve completed lately as well, Randy Rainbow, Sportz Chicago and Jottings From Jersey
I’ll have more on my moving to a new house next week with pictures once I get all the utilities up and running and settled in a little bit. It’s a really cool house and I can’t wait to get in.
Finally, I’ll leave you guys with a joke that made me LMAO!
I have 2 dogs & I was buying a large bag of Pal at Big W and standing inline at the check out.
A woman behind me asked if I had a dog.
On impulse, I told her that no, I was starting The Pal Diet again although I probably shouldn’t because I’d ended up in the hospital last time, but that I’d lost 50 pounds before I awakened in an intensive care ward with tubes coming out of most of my orifices and IV’s in both arms.
I told her that it was essentially a perfect diet and that the way that it works is to load your pants pockets with Pal nuggets and simply eat one or two every time you feel hungry & that the food is nutritionally complete so I was going to try it again.
I have to mention here that practically everyone in the line was by now enthralled with my story, particularly a guy who was behind her.
Horrified, she asked if I’d ended up in the hospital in that condition because I had been poisoned. I told her no; it was because I’d been sitting in the street licking my balls and a car hit me.
I thought one guy was going to have a heart attack he was laughing so hard as he staggered out the door.
Stupid bitch… why else would I buy dog food??
Hope you guys have an ass kicking weekend! =)

Great comeback to a stupid question.
I love that joke!
Damn right your layout looks great. It’s kickass, as per normal.
I’m just blushing that you think I’m “awfully engaging.” That’s so sweet.
Better than the fucktard I thought you would be calling me after all my annoying demands!
Wow - some people are really stoopid, aren’t they?? Good luck with the shed from hell and congrats on the booming blogskin business. Kick ass designs from a kick ass designer! I still get lots of compliments on mine though I still want to tweak things if Amanda ever gets motivated enough to finish my artwork. Teenagers!!
Um Se7? There’s a kinda scary creature on your shed. Perhaps he has a message? Maybe something like “Stop building a shed when it’s 95 degrees outside and 100% humidity!”
Great work on both the shed and the blogs. You’re SUCH a renaissance man
I can’t wait to hear more about your new place!
I can’t wait for house pix!!!
OMG, you so need to go with me when I grocery shop!!
I want to go shopping with you or I want you to go shopping with me—who would ever have thought of the come back to that lady but you—yeah I think shopping would be fun with you.
You do great work uh I mean designs.
Take care and I can not wait to know about your move.
THAT was too damned funny!
It’s like that comedian that does the…”Here’s your sign.” bit.
Far’s I’m concerned, you are the Ace No. 1 designer of all time.
Dude! That’s the funniest thing I EVER heard! You totally rule!
Ha - that reminds me of the time my piano teacher hired me to put together one of those sheds for her. I was 16 and she paid me 15 bucks. It took me an entire weekend to do all by myself. I was so proud, the next day I got my parents to drive be her house so I could show them my masterpiece… it was lying on its side… oops!
Ha! You are such a little pot stirrer, you ball licker you!! Can’t wait to see pics of the house… did I miss something somewhere? And I had NO idea you had dogs. Why for no pics of them, eh? Anyhoo, hope all is swell for you, sweet!
I love that joke! And congrats on the house, man! You know I’ll ring you up while I’m in Orlean. I’d be a little frightened of that shed if I were you.
You are working alot.
Love the joke! A perfect “Here’s Your Sign” moment. I’m not even going to ask if you actually read the instructions for the shed, you know most men throw them away once they have everything out the box. Drives my hubbie nuts because I actually read the instructions and follow along as he is putting stuff together. I always have the answer for why something didn’t go togther quite like it should.
I wish I could have been there to see her face!
Greg Peters at Suspect Device has a great 8/29 NOLA graphic. http://www.suspect-device.com/blog/?p=1525
I’m enjoying this rainy Sunday in your fair city. Don’t wanna leave my link, ’cause I’m on Dangerblond’s computer but I live-blogged from the Rising Tide conference yesterday. http://www.dotcalm.blog-city.com
Hope all is well with you and yours.
I htink I would have told her it was my dog’s week to cook!
it might have been a pain in the ass, but that’s a really nice shed! my husband would love something like that!
The construction time is an outright lie - 2 hours my ass!!!! That may be the shed company’s CFO blooming on the side - bwahahahaha!
