Another handy woman, thank goodness!
It's tough to say what was most impressive, but what was done to that shower was pretty incredible, and you really went above and beyond ripping up carpet and padding. And I do appreciate your help with the medicine cabinets. Oh, and to top it all off, that was one delicious dinner. You kick ass, sweetie.
You've set the bar pretty high, though. I'm expecting that, at a minimum, the pink tile in the master bath will be replaced today and you'll build a new garage (that can fit both of our cars) tomorrow.
I am now officially lazy.
I didn't do that much the whole month of February
That day would have cost me like $5,000.
I am exhausted just reading your blogpost - go Mama!
Man, you and Jeff need to go into business. If your pink tile is gone, I want my yellow tile gone. Is that a deal?
another what you did today post would be most appreciated...
