My father had grand ideals and started grand projects, but often enough we lived around those unfinished projects. My mother would bitch and moan, but then it would turn into a passive aggressive battle and nothing was ever completed, nor was someone hired to do so. My husband does finish projects; however, it is the starting that is the problem. He will begin a 30 day stay at home session (gain 15 pounds) in two weeks and supposedly he will sand down Lavender’s play table and two chairs, repaint each, sand down his garage table and repaint it, sand her rocker and paint it (it was bought unfinished from Michael’s for only $6 four years ago) and hang a few pictures/paintings. I will let you know by the middle of October how he rated. When he deploys I will just skimp on the grocery bill and pay for the services. <br><br>Those french doors will look lovely!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4283072392763163737.post-70633463056380171042004-09-05T08:42:00.000-07:002004-09-05T08:42:00.000-07:00We've gpt a cricket on the porch.

Or I can't lift the dang whatever, or I can't reach the derned whosit. Hubby to the rescue. I am rather liking this procedure, actually. given his choice, he would "dream" about projects all day long, but action would never occur. Now (heh heh heh) he gets to thinking what a he-man hero he has become. <br>Works for me.
