As an example of how bad this could end..... She got on this kick a year ago and wanted a compost box made out of pallets. Simple, 4 sided box. She asked nee to do it. I bought some hardware and then go look at the pallets she grabbed. none were the same size. I tried explaining to her I could not make a box with 4 different sizes. she complained for 2 months that I was lazy and wouldn't put a box together for her. :facepalm:

Atleast you attempted to do it. I've been trying to get hubby to put up a new mailbox I bought for two years. Come spring, I'm doing it myself. A little scared of the quikcrete I'll have to use, but what's the worst that could happen.

Back from Kohls. Pressless. They don't carry them in the store so I got a credit. Which Mr. V used for a pair of shoes. *sigh* Off to Amazon, where I should have gotten it from in the first place.

Every woman should know how to use basic power tools! Before the arms thing happened, I put down the new floor in the living room while Mr. V was gone. And it looks good. Now I can just direct. And I do. :evil:

Tiff and quickrete? hehehehehe, hope you're better at that than I am at the spray paint thing..... though in my defense, my chalkboard labels turned out very nicely.

For a young man you are very wise...
I'm here. Just hooked the utility trailer up for the wife. She's been playing on pinterest and thinks she's going to make something out of pallets. The fact that she has never nailed or screwed anything together in her life doesn't seem to phase her. :facepalm: I'll just sit back and laugh and eventually drag the abandoned project out to the trash.

Hey to everyone still up and about tonight. Hope your day was warm! Was hoping to get some input on my question from last night about a 2nd variable wattage / kick-able mod, but no go. I'll try again! :) Any input or thoughts on an affordable one i should look into for my 2nd vw pv?

EDIT: I love my Silver Bullet with the Kick!

Not me...I can cure that for you too.Example:"It was O.k. that I put oil in the gasoline hole in the lawnmower..right?" "I nailed the Christmas Tree to the new hardwood floor in the living room but I'm not sure where to put the water""What's a screwdriver"?

As much as I hate to say it, I do 75% of the maintainance around here. If it's something I can't handle, he'll do it.
