4000 ft² of Foil Later…

Imagine coming home from a trip to find that your housesitter had messed with your apartment while you were gone.  Specifically, by wrapping everything in aluminum foil.  And I do men everything.

No detail was too small or too time-consuming.

Trerice and his friends unrolled the toilet paper in the bathroom, enveloped the bath tissue in aluminum foil and rolled it back up again. They covered Kirk’s book and compact disc collections but made sure each CD case could open and shut normally.

They even used foil to encircle Kirk’s spare change—each individual quarter he had left atop a living room bookshelf.

Only a single book ("Penn & Teller’s Cruel Tricks for Dear Friends"), a girlfriend’s picture, a bathmat, and the bed were left untouched.  I heard of quite a few practical jokes that had been played over the years at A&M, but I think this is probably the best.  Then again… maybe not! :D

Ha!  I have that book (it’s great), but it doesn’t include the foil treatment.  It’s definitely worthy of being in the book.

I wonder how much it cost?

Well, if you read the article you’d know. wink $100, I believe it was, which sounds pretty cheap to me.  (Of course, 4000 ft² sounds low to me, too.)

Bah, reading.  I looksed at the pitchers and that were enuff.

That sounds fine for me though.  Our house is only 700 square feet (floor space).  They didn’t do the floors, though, they did walls.  My computer room has only 300 square feet of wall surface.  Based on that, I’ve got about 1800 square feet of wall space in the whole house.  That leaves over half of the foil available for chairs, books, etc.
