Here's a little anecdote. On Sunday, I woke up discovering what a fabulous day it was. Remembering I need to study for my Eco test, I thought to myself: What I wouldn't give to be outside. Just then, my mother phoned me and told me to help my father fixing our house in Missesaga. Apperantly the bathroom wall there have severe leakage, and has to be fixed. Ah, hardly what I consider to be "fun in the sun". Family business is family business, I headed down there, and bought 2 concrete drywalls and 1 big wall panel with him. We tore down half of the bathroom wall, stopping only when we hit sections without water damage. The leakage was unbelievable, the wall disintegrated with the smallest pull on it. Apperantly the previous owner tried to fix it, but instead of replacing the broken drywall, he stuffed newspaper in it! We were able to fix the wall within about four hours, the moral of the story? Beware what you wish for.
