renovating gkgirl style....

sigh.

here is how a small project renovation
happens in our household...

my husband decided to build a new bed for eight...
perfect...
done with no real misery.

then decides to hang our new tv on the wall...
in the corner...
therefore needs a "corner contraption"...
welds one out of steel...
done...

leads to having to build a new cabinet to hold dvd player
x box, dish box etc etc...
this needs to be painted black...
almost done.

leads to deciding to wire the computer up to the tv
so that we can access everything on our computer from the
x-box controls and he can also provide a third router
for my laptop...
in the process of doing this
nicks a hole into the rad and water starts spraying...

this gets welded and then,
the furnace won't work.

we go to bed.

get up this morning and suddenly decide to take
12's bed out and put 8's bed in her room, in a new revised position
(chopping the legs off) which leads to deciding to put
old tv cabinet in her room which leads to 12 hours of
taking her room apart so this dream could become a reality...

meanwhile...
husband is painting new cabinet, making new drawer fronts
for 8's bed, chopping legs off 12's new bed, fixing the furnace
and making pancakes...

and that is how we do "one small project".

gah.

sounds a bit like rennovation at our place, only much much faster. We fix stuff at home, only at snail pace
