Why Yes, I Have a Vagina...Why Do You Ask?

Once again I have abandoned my writing, friends, self...all in what feels like a feeble attempt at renovating a 1947 "safe house", still stuck in the Kennedy administration.
I have hit an impasse, a point of no return, or so it seems. In over my head, running on empty, and feeling so overwhelmed with these floors I can't think straight enough to make good choices.

If I continue the way I planned, with acid staining the concrete slab hidden under the tar from Dante's hell, it could very well turn out to be the most beautiful art I've done in years.
I can't figure out how to get the tar off the slab,  I can't THINK correctly because I'm too close to the remodel emotionally.
Every person I talk to says something different, I have come to loathe the employees at HD and Lowe's...although they mean well, they are essentially idiots. (such as myself)

One contractor came saw the disaster in front of him, and failed to reply with a bid...nice guy though. Another contractor I believe may have inhaled far too many  solvents over the course of his career, but his bid was for an overlay.
A flippin overlay ON TOP of mastik...yeah right, oh and here's a grand up front...I have a vagina, therefore I have no clue what I'm doing? I have a vagina, therefore  I have less upper body strength...that's about it dude.

Today, I am renting a machine. Do not ask me what KIND of machine I am renting, because  I do not KNOW...but there must exist a machine, that can scrape this crud off concrete, while exposing the layer suitable for acid staining...there must be.

I can do this.
I CAN DO THIS!

Of course you can do it!

Reminds me of that song: "Anything you can do, I can do better...I can do anything better than you

No you can't
Yes I can
No you can't
Yes I can..."

By this point in the song, I'd be planting my size 9.5's on his ass and kicking him out the door... and dude, don't let the door hit ya where the Good Lord split ya on the way out...

"Yes I can!" (so there :P)

Let me know if there's anything I can do to help, okay?

Heck yeah, you can do it.
power to ya, just go for it and it will probably suck (the work) but it is going to be beautiful.
