The Big Brother

My brother is a sponge.  He soaks up knowledge like nobody I have ever known.  Just ask him a question and you will get details like you never dreamed.  I once asked him how I should handle getting rid of a wasps nest that fell onto our back porch.  After 60 minutes of the life cycle of the wasp, the markings that identify an insect as a wasp, it's mating habits, what it eats, it's sting and the tactical skill of the wasp, I hung up and put the garbage can at the bottom of the stairs.  I then quickly swatted the nest with a broom hitting it into the can and quickly closed the lid.  Done.

Now that I am building my basement apartment, his knowledge knows no bounds.  His latest email had over 25 questions on fixtures, sewer type, cabinet panel versus wall, flooring and countless other items.  I could only answer two of the 25 questions.  I know he has become the Traverse City Plumbing Contractors best friend with his inquiries about low barrier showers, fixtures, and sink and island plumbing.  He had more questions about my toilet than I thought was possible.

The point is he loves me.  He wants whats best for me... and he knows I need to do this as inexpensively as possible.  Considering I haven't even sold my existing home yet... this could be a long six months.
