What??@?!!?!? We don't know how to install electric!
Good thing we have s
uch a good buddy named Kal. He helped talk us through tearing down the wall that separated our living room from our kitchen and today he saved the day-again.Yesterday we shot more video for the show...we pulled up tile and painted some cabinets but a lingering thought plagued our minds. We have an inspection on Monday and we haven't finished the electric. Actually...we strung some cable but we don't know it that will pass code?!?! I broke down and called for back-u
p. "Kal, we don't know what we are doing. Can you help us?, I plainly admitted our incompetence and he eagerly volunteered to come help us the next day. The next day was a Sunday...and he'd be here by 9:30. What? No way?!? Yep...even on the sabbath he felt it necessary to drop everything and come help us. Wow...this dude rocks. Come to find out...he even attended mass at 7:30 am before arriving. We skipped service! DUDE!!!!Skip to 5pm. We're sitting outside under the gazebo...eating drinking and making merry. We finished and had time to spare! OMG!
Now...to my tagline-Be interesting. Kal...is interesting. He was born and raised here in SoCAl but he's lived in Hawaii and Oregon. He's been a driver...a store manager, a construction guy and now business owner. He's been working since he was a kid and he has the stories to prove it. Kal is a guy you want to invite to a party. He's lived and he reminds me of my dad. You don't have to be a millionaire to have led a life worth talking about. Actually...I think working folks have wayyyyyy better stories than the rich and pampered!
One of his stories involved his childhood crush, Jamie Lee Curtis. He was on a construction job
and the owner ended up being the famous beauty. First of all his buddy ended up marrying the lady that was working as Curtis' children's nanny. The other thing he said that I found intriguing...was how gracious, laid back and cool she was. She made all of the crew take a break, sit down and eat a beautifully prepared meal with her! She sat with everyone...chatted and had a grand ol' time. Isn't that good to hear? I love it. She seems cool but I had no idea she was a genuinely nice person. You go Jamie!Be interesting. Take chances-it makes for such good dinner conversation!
Oh...say a prayer for us too. The city will inspect our handy work tomorrow...
I'll let you know!
