Whew! I have been
busy today doing all sorts of things. I
had construction work to supervise today.
Ok, now I must get my roommates started on the painting the
outside door.

Clearly, the outside porch needs painting. My roommates have decided to hire out the
other painting (this is good, less work means more time for adventuring). I
fully support this idea, a professional painter will probably do a good job.

| This must have been painted before I entered the supervision business. |
Well, now onto the bathroom.
This looks like an easy fix. All
we have to do is repair the drawer and reinstall it. Piece of cake.
I know this picture is hard to see but is that a brass fixture? Brass.... Really?

Coffee break.

Sequoia came along to “help” out. It was all good till he got paint on his fur
and paws. Ugh.
Wow, we got done fast, probably because of the great manager
they hired ***little fox with a gleam in his eye***This would be a good time for me to present the invoice.
With extra time in the afternoon we decided to head to the park. We are at a Hudson’s Bay Company trading post called Fort Vancouver. When my roommate went to school years ago (you know the middle ages) he spent many hours learning about Fort Vancouver and it’s importance in setting the state.
When the fort was in full swing around 1840 they had a full English garden (5 acres) with decorative plants and lots of vegetables. They had a smaller garden today. This did have some wildflowers in bloom.
Oh my gosh, the train tracks were certainly busy
today. Hmm, this is an outing designed
for Jerry and Ben (trains, gardens, sun).

| I like that color of orange. |

| I wonder if Jerry and Ben like sailboats? |
Little Fox, your fees aren't cheap.. but that is the price for high quality work isn't it?
ReplyDeleteSo true, I wish my roommates understand that :(
DeleteYou need to add some more vague and ambiguous categories in addition to the miscellaneous fees and consulting category. You could also add a late fee.. as well as an early fee (you know, a fee for early payment)
DeleteThat is a great idea.
DeleteDid you include a fee for preparation of the bill?
DeleteYou should be a contractor :)
DeleteWow... I think I have been undercharging for my supervisory work!! I like the miscellaneous fees category - it covers so many eventualities. Although... you really do need to work on those brass light fixtures, I must say...
ReplyDeleteThe miscellaneous fees cover lots of random things - you hot chocolate breaks, cookie breaks, trips to Dairy Queen, nails, glue, etc.
DeleteI think you are undercharging, best you increase your wages or you might get taken advantage of.
Beary true. We stuffies have talked about going on strike but I think we'd need to unionize for that...
DeleteWow! I think Dogtor Freud is in the wrong business.
ReplyDeleteCould be, but he does so much humanitarian work.
DeleteTrain!!!! Thanks for sharing that great photo!
ReplyDeleteTrains and Gardens - I know what you two like :)
DeleteDon't forget honey!
DeleteI think you need a construction hat or something. Maybe a reflective vest... then you could add a Safety Equipment fee to your invoice!
ReplyDeleteGood idea. I like Ajdin's ideas about late and early payment fees as well. They say that you can't put a price on safety but I am willing to give it a try.
DeleteP.S. Are you guys sweltering in the heat too?? We are hovering around 30 C which feels mega-hot!

DeleteSame here. Too hot.
DeleteWell its cool here fellas. You must be a rich Fox earning all those dollars. You could buy an aeroplane ticket and visit me down under. Bring Gerry, Ben, Adjin and all your stuffed friends. Keep up the good work supervising. I have a real live human cousin called Fox.
ReplyDeleteA trip down under would be so much fun. The funny thing I charge the high prices but I can't collect from my roommates :)
