Jason and I planned a home improvement weekend, even took off Friday to begin - ah the joys of being a home owner.
We started by making the list - well, Jason did - and planning our attack. It took up an entire sheet of paper. It involved everything from fixing a door to cleaning out the garage to lawn care to shredding old paperwork. All those little things you say ‘one day we need too…’
But some how every project we planned either took much longer then it should have or more parts and tools than we owned or had to be redone because it just wouldn’t work that way. By the end of Sunday Jason estimated he took 8 trips to Home Depot - only one of which I accompanied him on.
What got done? We fixed the back door, planted some house plants and shrubs, and sold the china cabinet on Craigslist. The list is still sitting on the counter laughing at us with exactly three items out of 30 crossed off.
Next weekend is already booked with multiple evens on both days – only one of which is on the stupid list. I’m tired just thinking about it.
