Solid walls
I drove up to the house. Older house in a shitty neighborhood. The house and yard were nice and tidy. Very nice actually. The man gets in my car. He is almost manic. He is going to pick up a car from an exgirlfriend. So, you can imagine the tales he told me about her.
He gets a phone call from his mother, this guy is in his 50's, they were talking about selling the house. He was like nope. Not going to take less than 70 grand. That house is solid red wood frame. Marble floors. Granite counters. It is solid. Mom, when my gun went off, the bullet did not even go through the wall. The walls are solid.
Wow. True test of craftsmanship. The 9mm test. I will remember that.
You can't judge what people have by the hood they live in. Worked on someone's house one time in a really bad part of Dallas in a run down house with an old Toyota in the driveway with a dent in the front quarter panel. Got done with what I was working on and the gentleman asked if I could change out the water bottle on his water cooler for him, and the bottles were in the garage. I obliged, and when I went in there, there was a Rolls Royce silver ghost in there with a dent in the exact same place the Toyota had.
