Arright, this isn't a
story per se, but this is what the Smart Dolls have been up to for the past week... or ten days... or... I'm losing count because this project is taking far longer than expected!
As our forum friend
Kizuna recently pointed out, when left to their own devices, Smart Dolls have a penchant for getting into mischief. To redirect that energy, I have recruited the girls to assist me with a bathroom remodeling project:
Janie reminds Trivia to wear eye protection when working with tools.- - - - -
Unloading the TruckJanie: "These planks would be much easier to handle if they were one-third scale like us!"
Triv: "Yeah; for us, this is the equivalent of lifting a 24-foot long 6x12."
Janie: "Whoa! Look at you, all Miss Mental Math and stuff!"
Triv: "Work smarter, not harder! Speaking of which, I think it's break time!"

Janie (Smart Doll Harmony) begins removing the old flooring during the remodeling project- - - - -
The Smart Dolls will have to be very smart to get out of this mess!- - - - -
Triv and Janie identify the locations of misaligned and randomly spaced floor joists.- - - - -
Closet Flange Installation(A closet flange is the connection on the floor connected to the main drain to which
the toilet/water closet/commode/latrine attaches.)
Janie: "Closet flange: complete!"
Triv: "Until we need to pull it up again to install the flooring."
Janie: "I
think we will only need to pull the toilet, not the entire flange."
Triv: "What about the insulation under the floor? That we didn't put in yet? Because we were in a hurry?"
Janie: ". . ."

Framing, framing, and more framing- - - - -
Janie and Triv installing insulation- - - - -
Lying Down on the JobJanie: "That's probably not the best place to take a nap!"
Triv: "I'm so tired that I don't care anymore."
