I have this problem, some may think it is terrible or scary others may not. It can and quite often does get me into trouble.... sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. Up to now only a handful of people know about it and it doesn't seem to bother them, I don't think. Well the problem is that I think I can do anything. I get something in my head like "Oh, I should redo my bathroom." and then I go for it..... how about: maybe I should put down laminate flooring in the kitchen, perhaps I should rip out the drywall in the porch and insulate out there, lets build a new door for the barn.... Problem? Ummmm ya, I don't know how to do any of this stuff. Problem? No, problemssss'. This house was not, I repeat NOT built by a carpenter.... just try putting up drywall, 'nough said! Most of my projects are by trial and error. I eventually figure them out. Me and my power tools are best buddies. I think the biggest problem is there isn't anyone telling me ' You can't do that!'. So I go merrily along getting into messes and getting out of messes. Most of my messes turn out okay. :)
Messes seem to search me out.... that is for sure.... like the time I got locked out 3 times in a 24 hour time period. Seriously, true story.The third time me and dad and Dorothy got locked out of their house and I climbed a ladder to their bedroom window, which by the way was quite small but I never thought I couldn't do it or fit through it.... you can see where this problem of mine keeps cropping up...
ah, well, life is never boring around here.....
Hmmmmm I think I'll paint the house this summer.......
I'm still telling you, you painting the house is a scary thought for me... you on scaffolding!
ReplyDeletePlease enlist some volunteers when you do this... because you do have two problems.
1: Nobody is telling you 'NO!'
2: It takes a lot of convincing to get you to change your mind once you've got it set ;)
