Contemplating the Post-Kenny Era
It’s nearly time for me to get back to the basics: financial ruin, incompetence, ingenuity, and the occasional, well-done job. I’m sure the flu was just a prelude to the suffering and misfortune yet to come.
The inevitable coming of the post-Kenny era has me a little freaked out. For weeks, I’ve been saying, “just three more weeks.” Well, even if I want three more weeks, I’m not sure how many more I’ll get. It wouldn’t be too much of a concern, but we recently came to the realization that we’d probably have to file for ONE MORE EXTENSION on the construction loan. In exactly four weeks from today, the bank will either want a finished house or an interest payment. I’m guessing that they’ll be getting a payment. If we didn’t have to do this, we could probably keep Kenny for five weeks without too much difficulty.
Sigh.
An even scarier thought is how far behind we’d be if we hadn’t hired Kenny. If it has taken Kenny and his cousin this many weeks to get this far with a couple of decades of experience each, where would we be? Sixty three years old and still making extension payments to the bank?
If anyone ever tries to sell you a house for dollar, run away. If you feel tempted, come to me for counseling. If that doesn’t work, I’ll just have to shoot you. Believe me, you’ll thank me later.
