It's time to see if I can't make some lemonade out of this bushel of citrus--or, at least something that I can use as a cocktail base.

Some of y'all will have read my thread "I've Fallen Into a Redneck Soap Opera!" I'd like to create a blog of what's been going on, with possibly expanding to a site dealing with Florida home repair stories.

I've thought either "Singin' Dem Florida Homeowner Blues" or "Adventures in the Building Trade. (a riff off Dylan Thomas)

Please advise!

I voted for "Singin' Dem Florida Homeowner Blues". With Cloudy's vote, it's a 1-1 tie so far. A dead heat so far!

"Redneck Renovation Review"

I'm a sucker for allitterations. I can't help it, I'm Scandinavian.
 
Home repair stories? What home repair stories?

My brain! My brain! Stop the hammering!
 
And I've just brought things back to a dead heat again.

I like helping.

What about - "The Thank You FEMA for Destroying South Florida Blues"??

But I'm in North Florida. The worst the hurricane season year before last did to my area was to engender a tornado that tore a roof off a store across the river from me, and to blow down part of our fence, which we picked back up and nailed to the posts.

The point is, that this should have been a simple, straightforward renovation job. Instead it seems to have turned into a cross between The Money Pit and a novel by Patrick Dennis.
 
'Adventures...'

Definitely!

The other title is too generic (lol).

Or you could try:

'Mr. Tony Rebuilds His Dream House',

'Hey, Watch It With That Roof Beam, Carpenters', or

'Catch-Up 22, A Renovation Story'.

Just sayin'.

Peace.

Hey, I'm liking "Hey, Watch It With That Roof Beam, Carpenters"--almost as much as "Adventures..."
 
You might use a quote as the name, like this one from my contractor: "The measurements are never going to be exact." Which was eerily echoed by this quote from the dude sent by my insurance company to rebuild a collapsed ceiling: "It's never going to be exactly flat again."
 
How about some pulp fiction cover art and a title like, "HAMMER FROM HELL" or "SATAN'S TOOLBOX."

"They invited him in to nail some things - and never guessed he'd nail them all with Hell's Own Hammer."

JD Salinger would be proud (grin).

Peace.
