"Are you dealing with Italians?" "Yes," I said. "It's masonry cem ent," said Andrew. `T h e word is masonry." Okay, so allowing for the three-day delay due to a cultural m isinterpretation, the project pro ceeded to the L'il Digger stage. (Note: that's not "Little Digger," it's L'il Digger. It helps if you say the word L'il out the left side o f your mouth like you have a slight speech impediment.) As I am his witness, Jack is the hardest work ing man in Wainfleet. H e's also Dutch which means he's got a stub born streak only a mule could emulate. (Hey! They didn't turn a large part o f the North Atlantic into farm land by being highly accom modating.) In charge o f all non-wall aspects of the pro ject, Jack would start all strategic discussions with: "Look, it's your patio. You do what you want but ..." Then Jack went and did exactly what he wanted to do. And I have to admit, Jack's patio looks a lot better than the one I had in mind. The ratty-looking brick path I did my way, which is why it has to be raised by six inches next spring. Currently it's a river. Plus I did it all by myself - down on my knees slinging bricks for three days straight and which is how I ended up with a very generous, full-time job offer to ring the bell at Notre Dame. Once the new patio furniture was purchased the whole project ended quickly with a nasty call from a credit card officer who told be my Visa card was everywhere it shouldn't be. By my conservative estimate, free advice from neigh bours costs about $10,000 these days. I'm now paying the whole project off by rent ing my cottage to Americans for $600 a week. And I'm living quietly and temporarily out on the patio, which happens to be a lot nicer than the cottage itself. The Whole Nine Yanis The Beach Whatever tt Takes 10.
