From Rags to Riches


Sabrina was gleefully checking out the water works this morning. As you may have already read in my previous posts, my house is under major renovation. Specifically I am having 3 of the four bathrooms in my townhouse renovated... simultaneously.

I spent the morning fixing what should have been a fully functional tiolet! Why am I writing about this? Well, only a few hours later, I was groomed and dapper for a huge charity gala in DC.

I am the modern man! I can play handyman and be a high level socialite in the same day!

I'm impressed--especially if you tied your own bow tie! :-)

Hope it was fun!

Why do I want to sing Jay-Z?

From rags to riches, bitches,
I ain't dumb.
I got 99 problems,
but a bitch ain't one!

Thanks guys. Too late too night to come up with a snappy retort, but thanks all the same.

Wow. You clean up well.

(I have heard that as many times, just had to take the opp to say it to a man.)

Since all I see is a john in the first pic, I have to assume one of two things. A. You were not involved in it's fixing, or B. you are some sort of superhero...toilet by day, tux-man by night.

Wow. You clean up right pretty.

Speaking of Bond, James Bond. You might win this race. You definitely look the part...

Can you fix a disposal? Because, I seem to be unable.

Playful - thanks. Even my nails were clean. What a transformation!

Johnny - "Bond... GOLD BOND..." ha ha.

Marci - I totally fixed it myself. I have a huge tool belt, with all types of next fix'it gizmos.

Kristen - Thanks.

Smash - Yes. Have you depressed the little red reset button beneath/side of the disposal? If that does not work, get an allen wrench (can't recall size). Insert it into the opening at the bottom. Using the wrench, rotate it. This should free any obstructions so that the disposal will work. If the problem exceeds that, then additional troubleshooting/replacement is required.
