Don't give him a beer


...A beer, not some beer, not a few beers, A beer. That's the advice, along with, "Stay away from him". Seems the Joe i met this past week can, yes, plumb just fine but his tendency towards crazy ups when a beer is introduced into the equation.
Nice guy, just crazy. Really. Joe grew up in the Soulard. His mom bartended across the street for many years. The store front is now boarded up. He said my building was a confectionary in the late 60's and early 70's. The soon to be masterbath area was the cold storage room. Apparently wood flooring placed on top of the dirt was enough for the health inspectors at the time.
The family that ran the confectionary lived in the county but their daughter lived upstairs. She must have been all of five foot nothing given the current head clearances up there. My plans expand the upstairs with a dormer.
But Joe is not destined to sweat the copper for me. It's not that I don't eschew beer. It's a fine drink at times. It's the need for stability in an otherwise complicated construction project...and the liability.
Have a great week y'all, dean.
