WHILE WE ARE AT IT...

I had limited man child knowledge until I got married and had my own. Having no brothers apparently shelters you from the thinking that comes along with the Y chromosome.
HOWEVER, having all sisters gets you all brother-in-laws, and having a hubs myself, I am quickly learning.
My goal Sunday was to get the floor out Sunday and see the damage.
I thought that was the common goal.
I did not know I would have to defend that goal and keep giving constant reminders.
BIL wants to rip out the cabinets.
HH is starting a new project under the sink.
They both decide there are things in the current bathroom they want to rip out.
There is discussion of redoing ALL the plumbing.
It goes on and on.
Then we reach the straw that broke the camel's back. It started like this-
HH : Hey BIL (brother in law) while you are here and we have everything ripped out, think we can rip out the windows...
BIL: Oh sure man, and put in French Doors? I mean that is the thing to do. While you have everything ripped out fix all you can. Can you afford it? French Doors are expensive.
NOW THEY LOOK TO ME
ME: Uhm no. I would like to pay for the house not just fix it up for the next owner when they REPO it!
I think my biting sarcasm stomped all over their remodeling buzz.

I am playing the waiting game right now. Waiting for the floor to dry, waiting for HH to pull out the rest of the baseboards, waiting.
While I was at it I planned paint schemes with my mom. It will be a slow process and I will get you pics as we go along.
Excited aren't you?
Well since I am no longer employed this is what you have to look forward to.
Get used to it.
It can only get better!
