16. So far, we're on the second holiday of this little do-it-yourself project...

so yes, I agree nothing is ever simple!

Before July 4th, a certain project in our house was started. I objected. I KNEW this would not be something quick or easy and was also something better left for an actual carpenter. But no. My wonderful I CAN DO ANYTHING husband decided he really wanted to do this himself. Otherwise, he said, months would go by and we would end up not doing anything.

That was June 25th. I have stuff displaced from one room to another. I have a ladder, tools, sanders, caulk, etc in a room that we use every day. Not to mention DUST from said project.

Patience. Patience. I love him but he has no time.

Will this project see Halloween and Thanksgiving, too?
