My "painting the cabin on the long week-end" story
It wasn't so bad, I was in charge of sanding and painting the trim that was pried off the cabin. It was kinda fun, actually.

The cabin runs on solar power, but when the auxiliary cabin needs power and we want to watch satellite
TV with the lights on, we need to start the generator for a boost of power.

My drunken cousin put kerosene in the generator and ruined it!! So we watched TV in the dark. My drunken cousin also fucked up the hot water heater, fucked up the gas lights in the cabin. It turned out to be a real pain in the ass! But we made it through, we had a good week-end. I am pissed at my cousin as everyone else is.

1. Wow. Didn't someone tell your cousin to sit on his hands
and not touch anything? Every family has an inept fool like that. :(

2. Ah, my dear Roon...
I am glad that your weekend turned out not so bad after all!

Too bad about your drunken cousin though...

He/she will never hear the end of that story!

7. I am glad to hear the painting went well.
But the rest of it sounds like a mess, lol. :hug:

Are they going to have to buy a new generator?
