Always a practical joker, Phil woke up to find that his friends had outdone him this time by plastering over his balcony sliding doors.

This has to be a Photoshop like altered image. The lower balcony is too clean to be accessible only to birds.

Tonight on 'Property Brothers', Drew + Jonathan's clients are going way over their budget and must make a decision. What will their clients cut from their budget? Will it be The balcony?, or the patio door?

Find out tonight on Property Brothers.

Careful. Check the small print to see if a ladder is provided free of charge. You don't to pay extra, and if you have to supply your own ladder make sure there is somewhere to store it securely at no extra cost.

Second balcony on this lovely apartment is provided for Jason Bourne wanna be's.

The second story apartment is for sequestered virgins only, thus the balcony has frustrated many an effort at Tom Foolery.

That's in other apartment complex - This is the Jesus complex, especially built for those who think they can walk through walls as He did.

"At this stage in the construction it would be easy to add the balcony for X$. You can save some money and wait a while and add those really nice doors you love later. Easy easy. If you try to add the balcony later someone would have to tear into the walls and ceiling to add the support hardware.. And that just the beginning. There might be electrical or nice trim that has to be removed and put back in.. painter / dry-waller.. AGAIN.. it adds up.. What I'm saying is I know you can't afford to do the whole job right now, but I know how much you want it. AND you want it done right. The bottom line is that doing it now will save you triple in headaches and money down the road."

Microsoft is diversifying and going into the construction business.

Business Industry Notes:

Microsoft has just release its new construction industry standards and is optimistic that it will be as popular as its computer's 'blue screen' standard release.

Because, of course, the Italian name of ''Romeo'' translates directly to the English name of ''Barney...'' ?

Unrecorded Shakespearean epilogue (?):

''It's all my fault!'', lamented Juliet's Father. ''If only I had blocked-off both balconies, my lovely little daughter could never have been led astray by that insufferable little (stalkarazzi), Romeo. Curse him, again, and again, and again...'' (fade to black)
