I'm SOOOO sorry....

[WebmasterPete]

but this weeks show will be delayed (likely it will be up late tomorrow night). The issue with my roof is still on going (now 3 weeks since they started work - just to give you an idea of the unmitigated cluster-fudge that this has been). I simply can't record the show with people pounding on my roof (not to mention the creepy 'Chester the Molester' dude that's up there doing the work - I swear to God he's one drink away from a cameo on Dateline).

The problem with the roof stems from the fact that the rocket scientist I bought the house from decided to add 1300 sq ft to the house with an addition and he put a flat roof on it. Think about what would happen to a flat roof in a state that has constant rain from May to Sept. To add insult to stupidity, they also put all the air conditioning equipment and duct-work for the addition - you guessed it - on the roof. So, I not only have to deal with roofers that resemble mouth breathing missing link primates, but also an A/C company that I'm pretty sure is run by Forrest Gump’s less intelligent younger brother.

I really hate putting the show up late - but as is often the case, sometimes life gets in the way. Thanks for understanding - I promise the show will be up as soon as possible.

You don't need to apologize--just have the construction guys and the guy who built your house say they're sorry.

[Disneybridein2k3]

Thanks for the heads up - hakuna matata - but thanks for the visual :scared1: and the laugh. While I sympathize with your situation, I had to laugh at the eloquent way you explained it :lmao: (not to mention the creepy 'Chester the Molester' dude that's up there doing the work - I swear to God he's one drink away from a cameo on Dateline).

[Redcon1]

Pete,
These wouldn't happen to be the guys you hired, would it?:

Thanks for the update, Pete.

I did spot about 4 tags that the Tag Fairy needs to give you in the post, however. Plus, you can always vent to us.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Pete: The delay is worth the wait thanks to the laugh your post just gave me! :lmao:

[dpuck1998]

If thats the worst thing that happens to me this week then I'm a lucky guy ;-) Good luck with the roof...at least you have an extra 1300 sq feet!!

[Cruz Family]

That was such an entertaining story, it makes waiting a little longer for the podcast well worth it! :thumbsup2

[Cyrano]

Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully your household will be back to normal soon ;)

Thats a great story, now take your top off....oopss...wrong show...sorry ;-)

[Shasta]

Pete, I'm sorry your going through that. I went through a two week period of replacing my roof and HVAC system. If it wasn't banging and thudding that caused my headaces it was the HVAC guy steeping through my bathroom ceiling.

I hope it ends soon. Don't worry about rusing the podcast, it we're not going anywhere. :goodvibes

[doctorhead]

mouth breathing missing link primates

Pete
:rotfl2: Ha, ha. There are far too many of those around where i live.

[Annette_VA]

Well, if we can't have a podcast to make us laugh tomorrow, at least we have your explanation post to come back to, Pete! You haven't lost your sense of humor yet, that's for sure :teeth:

I hope they finish the work and are out of your way soon!

Pete,
I think I saw this guy in Animal Kingdom near Primevil Whirl! :lmao:

[safetymom]

Sorry to hear about your roof problems Pete.

[disneymom8589]

We'll be here when you are ready! Good luck on your roof - how exasperating!!

[burberryplaid]

We need to take up a collection to get you all a complete, state of the art luxury recording studio.

That will be 3rd on my list when I win the lottery, right after I buy a house and DVC. :)

Take your time..sorry for all your construction woes!

[Brer_roadrunner]

Being a mouth breathing, missing link, primate I can say with 100% certainty that these roofers aren't in the troop... I've never seen them at the meetings, so don't group them in with us...

[alysnwndrlnd]

[disneyholic family]

strange, my mom had the very same people replace her roof last year.....

[DisNutSam]

Hi Pete

I'm in south Louisiana, and I do understand reconstruction problems all to well. I was in charge of getting our home put back together after the storm, because my husband had to travel for work. Keep in my mind, that I'm not a nervous person. But after your decription of your workers, I am now sure that mine must have left Louisiana and went right back to FL. Thanks for the laugh, and I can wait for the next show. Hope all goes well, because my home is still not completely finished. Good luck.

Sam

[UrsulasShadow]

I didn't know my in-laws were working in Florida now....

[kab407]

I just spewed coffee.......

Pete, if you need a couple of Jersey guys sent down to help "motivate" your roofers, let me know. I have family and friends in the hauling biz. If you know what I mean.....:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[mommyceratops]

Oh! Sorry Pete for your headache! :headache: I HATE having construction work done (yes that is a hate speech I do not hate construction workers I hate having work done on my house!)

Tell Chester don't mess with the roundtable or he will have to speak to the PodSquad! ;)

My DS thought we were being invaded by aliens when we had a new roof put on. :lmao: :rolleyes1

Keep that sense of humor! We will wait. :love:

[Fredd's Girl]

Ah Pete honey, at least you still have your sense of humor! :goodvibes
No worries about the show, you've got bigger things to deal with...the Pod Squad is pretty loyal, we'll stick around and wait...hang in there!! pixiedust:

[bookmompooh]

hang in there Pete.....just had our roof done a few months back....the pounding was nuts. now i have some time to catch up on a few podcast i missed.

[calypso*a*go-go]

Hey...it could always be worse! A couple of summers ago a contractor came in and cut down every tree in a heavily wooded area directly behind my house. For days all I heard from sun up to sun down was the buzz of chainsaws and the huge crashes the beautiful evergreens made when they hit the ground. It seriously sounded and felt like an explosion every time one fell. My whole house shook. It got so bad I finally had to leave the house because it kept giving me heart skips and was making my poor mini-schnauzer a nervous wreck. But the very worst part of it was waking up one day and feeling like we were in the middle of a beautiful forest -- and by the end of the week it looked like a desert. Plus the new home construction over the next two years wasn't exactly peaceful either!!

[aprince&princess]

pixiedust: Here is some pixie dust that everything is going well.

We will all patiently wait for the next podcast.:surfweb:

[Minnie Lor]

We'll wait as long as it takes. Good luck!

[astrodrummergirl]

Take as much time as you need, and you definately don't need to apoligize, however if the workers "want" to apologise, then I've no problem with that

[Cool-Beans]

Good luck - hope they actually FIX it. Fingers crossed for you.

[aGoofyMom]

[COLOR=#333333] with people pounding on my roof

And that was the story of my honeymoon stay at CBR - BEFORE I found the DIS!

Good luck with the roof and such.

But please don't be late next week!!!! We fly out REALLY early Wednesday morning & I don't want to miss listening to the Roundtable on my way to the World!:goodvibes

[minicoopercraig]

As it's been stated before Pete, don't worry about the Podcast, we can wait, it's well worth it though to take their time because if you hurry them up...THEY'LL HAVE TO COME BACK AND FIX WHAT THEY DID WRONG!!! AHH!!!! And no one wants that, they might send over a plumber that doubles as a drug dealer in DC the amount of crack he's pushing..Oops! Did I say that in my head or outloud?!?!

[ter-moo]

Pete, thanks for the heads-up! It just gives us something to look forward to later this week!

By the way, is this your roofer??? (It's the picture that comes up if you google "dumb roofer," "stupid roofer," or "moron roofer.")

Awe, I love that movie.... Good luck!!:upsidedow

[LSUmom4kids]

Hi Pete, I heard my name mentioned on the last show as the September winner of one of your contests! I sent Julie a reply email with my favorite number between 1-30 -- I chose 14 -- and I've checked yesterday and today every few hours to see if the next show was available so I could see what I actually won! The suspense is killing me, but I'll try to find something else to do to pass the time till the show is ready to download to my iPhone.

So, what's another day, right? I try and be patient. :rolleyes:

I, too, would rather your roof be installed properly! Looking out my work window here in New Orleans, two years post-Katrina, believe it or not, there are still some "blue tarp covers" on roofs! Get it done right the first time!

Patiently waiting, :coffee:

Maria

[tammydel]

Pete,
You never have to apologize! We are all just so happy that you do what you do.
We all just get to bask in the anticipation a little more, that's all. It's like waiting for a Disney trip!
Love from NY,
Tammy

[cobbler]

Aww come on Pete, tell us how you really feel!! :lmao:

I understand the frustration, sometimes we would like to slap the previous homeowners in our house too.

Good luck!

[Hedy]

How's Max holding up with the construction?

[3DisneyKids]

Been there, done that...living in construction is the worst! And when you have contractors who have one functioning brain cell between them, the problems are inversely propotional to the number of said cells...

Hang in there!

Hmmm sounds like a job for:

Jeff would have had that job done already and he would have paid less I am sure LOL!!!!!

Although, he may of had to fire Chris- yet again :rotfl:

[miss missy]

Hey Pete... did you fire Jeff yet? :rotfl2:
