Bear the Builder

Hi everyone! It's Bear and I wanted to fill you in on my project this weekend. I bet when we didn't post much you thought it was cuz we didn't do anything exciting, right? WRONG! I've become a Construction Dog!!! Cool huh? Our house is kinda old and when she bought it lots of stuff had to be done. She's slooooow though so I had to step in now that I live here too. We have two bathrooms, the one in Mom's room is reeeally tiny and the other one is huge. She says it's backwards. Well, the tiny one was seriously ugly and needed lots of help so she went and bought all kinds of things for me to fix it. She said it was a budget job, whatever that means. I guess that's why I only had two laborers under me and not a crew.

First I better show you the disaster that it was. Completely unacceptable, there wasn't even room for me to protect the shower door while Mom was in there. I'd get in and there wasn't enough room to turn around!

So the first thing I had my Laborer Larry do was to rip out everything in there, even the floor!!

In addition to being a Construction Foreman I also figured out a huge mystery of life - THIS is where everything goes!! See that hole??? I could never figure that out but now we know.

Just take my word for it, you don't want to experience this yourself. Like a million hours later the new walls were ready for inspection. (I think they work by the hour)

I sent my Chief Inspection Hound to make sure the new materials were up to code. Thankfully they all passed inspection because we were way behind schedule already.

She called me in for an internal inspection on this one because she didn't have an OSHA approved ladder to reach.After approving it I had to supervise even more - here I am waiting for the mirror to be hung and gazing at my handsome mug.

This is part of the inspection process. I had to make sure I had room to lounge and that it was comfy enough. We still have a lot of punchlist things to do - like baseboard and hiding those horrible pipes coming out of the wall. I hear Tucker is good at plumbing. Mom wants something to put towels and things in too. A dogs work is never done I guess.

My handydog website will be up soon in case you want to book me for some jobs around your house. I'm not cheap but I'm good. -Bear

PS Mom did work too, but she had to take pictures so there isn't any documentation. She made me write that.
