$9.99. She can pick it up at Walgreen's - you'll probably be needing cigarettes anyway.

Installing cork flooring on Saturday morning. Brand is Lisbon cork from Lumber Liquidators. The room is a square with cuts needed only for the register and the step that juts out from the hallway (and whatever wall we finish on). Got two friends coming over, one of whom has compound mitre saw and a nail gun, so we should be able to knock the room out in a couple of hours. Just need to pick up some padding for underneath the cork and some quarter round (was going to use shoe moulding but we have such tall baseboards anyways that we are going to lay the cork down without taking them up and just finish it off with quarter round).

I gave up brown liquor for Lent so they plan on helping themselves to some of that...I can't drink because we have a game at 7PM that night.

Bourbon + nail gun sounds like a winning combo.
Cork flooring is really nice stuff, BTW. Hope your project goes smoothly.

Several years ago I built an addition on the house. During that time I cleaned a couple of large piles of original bricks that I wanted to put back on the addition (lower wainscote exterior wall). During that cleaning process I chipped away old mortar, and with every swing of the hammer would image the face of my boss (who was a complete jackass -better stop there). It was a great stress reliever except I broke a lot of bricks. Could use a similar project to release some tension from this weeks events.

Winter is almost over. Soon the air will be warm, but the beer should always be cold.

I am having all kinds of problems removing some ancient, rusted, stuck on plastic locking nuts - the kind with the four "fins" that screw on and hold the kitchen faucet hot and cold valves to the sink. My new basin wrench will not work. My other wrenches will not work/fit, and the plastic is slowly shredding from my cursing assaults, making it harder to get a good hold.
Drinking did not seem to help much, although my wrench toss distance has improved.
I did find this :p :
How To Remove A Cheap Kitchen Faucet And Install A New One In 113 Easy Steps
I identify with this guy big time. I'm thinking of lighting up my blowtorch and trying to burn the sumbitches off. Anyone have any ideas how to get those off?

Gotta be smarter than the piece of plastic...
:p
Now for the real advice. Just changed a drain with a similar (but metal) nut. Hammer and chisel was the remedy. Chisel through it until it splits then you can peal it off. Then replace it.
I'm assuming you mean one of these or similar...
