support issues
The husband just called from contruction central (aka my house) - he was calling to ask where the ethernet connections were supposed to go (see how well he’s learning that my wireless connection is a top priority?) and I hear screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeechhhh in the background.
Me: Do I even want to know?
Him: It’s crazy - there are at least thirty people here. They’re cutting through the back wall of the house as we speak. And did I mention they had to completely tear out the bathroom upstairs?
Me: (wonders why he sounds so happy and remembers: men = demolition=happiness) So, when you say completely, you mean…
Him: Gutted. Gone. As in, I can look upstairs and see right through the floor. Because there is no more floor.
Me: (wonders how we could be together the whole weekend and him not mention that.) Um, okay. But I thought that bathroom was staying.
Him: So did I. But there was a small problem. Something about support issues.
Me: What kind of support issues?
Him: I guess, there was none. Meaning the whole floor could’ve collapsed if they didn’t do something about it.
Me: I’m hanging up now.

…sigh…
Look at it this way, Steph…
Having the BATHROOM floor collapse–especially at a very personal time–would not have been fun.

That sounds just like me DH. Except I’d come home and there’d still be a hole in the floor. Men. Gotta love ‘em.

Bathroom collapse=very bad
Keep writing, and let him handle it.
Doesn’t fending off smoothies sound preferable now?

OMG - Raine - LMAO!! Too true.:lol:
Danica - I’m sure there are many, many holes. It helps that my husband has nothing to do with this project, because there are still lightbulbs that need changing from 3 years ago in our house.:razz:
Jean - I like the keep writing part - but have you been talking to my mother about the smoothies?:eek:

Give a man a sledgehammer and everything’s a … well, something that needs to be sledgehammered!
Are you trying to tell us that your hubby attended the Cliff Huxtable School of Handymanship? I agree with Jean - just keep working.

I have to agree with Raine. Having the bathroom floor collapse at an inopporturne moment would be a Very Bad Thing. :)

Oh, man. Men just LOVE to rip things up. And then they ponder how to fix them while we scream and writhe on the floor in horror.
