The Crack House

Once upon a time, there was a fresh-on-the-job girl that had high hopes and was full of excitement to start her journey to become an Architect. As she approached the beautiful Victorian home, her heart filled with joy. She opens the door ready to measure this house but then finds the inside… covered in drugs! Hopefully she can get through the day without catching an addiction! *DUN DUN DUUUUUN!*

The Hoarder Home

Two lovely ladies go out to a jobsite to measure a house. One says “This shouldn’t be too difficult since it’s fairly simple and not a large house.” They arrive and open the door to only be greeted by *GASP* …things everywhere!!! …*DOUBLE GASP* As they make their way around to the back they see a path down the hillside with railroad ties holding some of the treads together. “It’s amazing how long these have lasted, they are still so strong!” says the client. Polli takes a step and *TRIPLE GASP!* Oh no! Down the hillside she goes….

The Burn Out

*RING RING* Our client is on the phone telling Boss Man the tragic news of their house burning down. The firefighters were just there yesterday and embers still light the floor. Boss Man: “I think I’ll send Holli out to measure today…” DUN DUN DUUUUN!

The Slippery Slope

The two eager-to-nap girls are sent out for another as built measurement of a retaining wall. “It’s backfilled and ready to get measured!” says the Boss Man. The girls arrive and see that the wall is down the hillside but it appears…. *DUN DUN DUUUUUN* NOT to be ready. With no clear path in sight, Blanca makes an attempt to go around the side to get down but that was a mistake! She gets twirled around (but was still able to point her toe) and land on slippery dirt. Right behind is Polli, learning nothing from Blanca, doing the exact same dismount. Dirty, alone and always hungry the girls now have to try to measure this retaining wall. *DUN DUUUUN!*

The Estate Sale

Admiring everything in the house that’s getting ready for the estate sale, Polli starts getting her tools to measure the home. Going from one room to another she is now going to enter the master bedroom. “Please, enter and measure what you need” says a voice from the dark room… Polli is confused since there is no one is sight. Continuing on, she realizes she isn’t alone in the room.. there is a hungover woman in the bed! AHHHH! Polli finished up and was glad to be done and definitely grabbed a flyer on the way out because estate sales are fun!
