I put a second story on my house, would have loved that excuse... honey I 
only had a few beers waiting for the other guy to get off the phone. But 
then it never would have gotten done.
Lived in WV years ago and had a line into one house on the farm. Sometimes 
we would have a few neighbors waiting to make a call on the porch in the 
morning.
