Reality check

How did ya'all like Mr. B's blog? His spelling and grammar are something to reckon with, at any time. I know he can spell and punctuate, but he does this on purpose, just because he can. He called me into the computer room just to brag about his accomplishment. "Look what I did!! HA HA !!!"

The remodel really isn't as bad as he makes it out to be. It has been a lot of work for the last month, but He is doing a wonderful job and I am very proud of his work. He is lying about the dishes though, cuz he don't do dishes! As for the sawdust, it is everywhere. As for the directions, he sees things a little differently than I do, so we have some good "discussions". He likes to harass me about the home improvement shows I watch, but they have helped. I just have to say things the way he understands. He got to take his frustrations out on the old cabinets as they are now just a pile of firewood pieces. The new bottom cabinets are in (no doors yet) and the top is ready for counter top. That template was made yesterday. The counter top won't be ready for a least a week, but boy are we looking forward to that day. At least now we have the ply board to use in the mean time. It has taken 4 trips to Lowe's or Home Depot to get the hose to extend the dishwasher over, and still we haven't gotten it right.

Richard is finishing the wainscoting and trim (windows etc.) in the dining room so we can have the living room back. He is working at getting rid of the manufactured house look. Dry wall mud, primer and paint, then cutting and fitting all the good stuff. Thank God for paper plates and cups.
