Wayne the Wall Man is here right now. Actually, today he’s Wayne the Countertop Man. A few weeks ago he was Wayne the Tile Man.

Wayne is a nice guy. His son helps him out, and sometimes his 4 yr old grandson comes along, too. I can’t remember the grandson’s name, but he is what I believe they call A Pistol.

Anyhow, Wayne is a nice guy. He’s here when he says he’ll be, and we trust him enough to leave the door unlocked for him when we can’t be here when he is.

Have I mentioned that Wayne is a nice guy? He is. But I have to tell you, every time I hear the name Wayne I start to twitch. It’s not his fault, but Wayne is the Face Of Chaos in my life right now. Wayne’s coming? Ok, no access to the kitchen sink (and DEAR GOD, the COFFEE POT) for 48 hours. Wayne’s coming? Ok, let’s rip everything out of all the cupboards. Wayne’s coming? Ok, time to shut off the electricity.

So Wayne is here today to install our new kitchen countertops. I believe that’s the last job we contracted him for. Our time with Wayne is almost at an end, and I’ll miss him.

Wait a minute…the VIM just asked Wayne if he does wallpaper…we ordered new wallpaper for the foyer (1 1/2 floors high and neither of us like ladders…). Wayne DOES wallpaper. Wayne WILL wallpaper for us.

Wayne rocks!
