Protect Your Poor Knees

Jerry Tomanski’s review

Five Stars! A godsend!

I’m finally living out my dream of restoring an old Victorian house to its former glory! But let me tell you, before I get to any of the fun parts–the demolition, the restoration, etc.–there’s a lot of cleaning to do. The trim is filthy, the tub needs a good scrub, and then there’s the stain that looks like a skull on the living room ceiling which drips green ooze onto the floor.

Anyway, after a few days of roughing it with no padding, my knees were killing me. I set down a towel, but it wasn’t enough. Finally, I decided to buy a pair of these, and boy do they make a difference! They fit just about everyone’s knees comfortably, so they ensure minimal soreness for anyone!

Why, I think I’ll use them when it comes time for some gardening. But that’s a long way off. For now, the inside is keeping me busy enough!

UPDATE: Some people have commented with concerns regarding the ooze. While I hate to sound dismissive, it seems many people don’t understand Victorian homes. My realtor assured me that this is a common issue with houses from that time.

UPDATE: Okay, once again, I hate to sound dismissive, but since the comments keep coming in, I feel as though I need to let everyone know that I did, in fact, have an inspection. The realtor recommended someone. Coincidentally, the two of them–realtor and inspector–looked very similar, aside from the inspector’s mustache. Without that, I might’ve thought they were the same person! But anyway, he was very thorough and told me just what the realtor said: that the ooze is very normal and nothing to worry about. In fact, he said the EXACT same thing as the realtor, in the exact same words, and nearly the exact same voice. So I felt very reassured!

UPDATE: I really am going to stop posting these updates after this one, I promise, but I just need to address some of these new comments. To answer the question asked many times over: no, I have not brought in anyone to give me a second opinion about the ooze. But there’s a simple reason for that; nobody in the nearby town will step foot in the house. And it’s not so bad, anyway. I only need to scrub the ooze just once or twice an hour.

And I’m comfortable! Because of my knee pads!
