When a good renovation loses its way

Since Jason's Peugeot has been at the mechanics for repairs, our renovation has been in complete shut down mode. I know. Anyone would think we were the Australian Labor Party deciding on who will be leading this great nation of ours.

It's clear to me now that Jason and I need to regroup and unite. The weeks of paralysis and dysfunction that our renovation has suffered under Jason's erratic and often chaotic leadership needs to come to an end. This renovation is bigger than anyone of us.

So I've given Jason an undertaking that I will not be seeking to undermine him when it comes to his beloved mid-life crisis sports car. My not-so stealth campaign to mock his choice of car is over.

He suspects I've been leaving random anonymous comments on the blog saying his Peugeot is a 'chick's' car. Let me just clarify to you all, I have never called Jason's car a 'chick's' car. I do not leave anonymous comments to myself. You can search this blog and interview other bloggers, but you will find no evidence that I said those things. A hairdresser's car perhaps...but never a 'chick's' car.

I have also given Jason my unequivocal support for his renovating efforts. I need Jason to finish the job that he  was meant to do - renovate this Sow's Ear. I've realised he is a populist renovator and that he is adored by the masses.

So I pledged to him my support. No more, "Are you sure you know what you're doing?" comments will exit my lips.

Apparently things came to a head when some video footage of Jason using foul language while installing a handle on the garage door, was doing the rounds on the Internet... Anyone without a trace of suspicion would think it was unusual that it was released at that precise moment. Shirtless Jason threw down his tool belt and said, "I'm not lifting one more finger on this renovation!"

Fortunately, providence came into play and the mechanic called Jason late last week to say his car was fixed. It is as good as new. Those tense few weeks are finished and we can all return to normal...however it may be some time before we bounce right back into the renovating swing of things.

Whatever the outcome of tomorrow's important leadership challenge, be confident that we at the Sow's Ear will eventually be on track, fighting the good fight against heritage green and rotting timber fences...We get things done...which is probably more productive than what our elected representatives in Canberra have been doing the last few days.
