The Handyman

With the exception of the shelves in the basement that we put up without a problem, every project we have done doesn't go exactly as planned.

Putting insulation in the crawl space. Two trips to the hardware store and never ending cleaning.
Installing a new sink. Three trips to the hardware store and two full days of work rather than a few hours.
Lastly rounding out the latest projects, taking down the old shower doors and installing a shower curtain rod. Only two trips to the hardware store and an extra day.

Today I got a call that our new windows are in. This should be an exciting project. If I had to place a bet, I would say no less than five trips to the hardware store will do for such a big project. I can pretty much assure you it will take more than the estimated weekend.

Mini-Seamstresses

I am working on sewing the bridesmaids' dresses for our wedding in November. Its not going so well because you have to get certian points exactly spot on or they get weird folds.

But it's okay. The Seamstress Brigade is helping me out.

Regretfully, they're not the best tailors around... they kind of just spew cat hair everywhere and sit on things. Maybe I need to look around for some new helpers.

Possibly the kind that have thumbs.

Cheers,
