Ha ha ha..we call these JWJ's. (job within jobs)..it never fails..there is always some secret job underlying a seemingly innocent project. One time we were replacing wallpaper in our house, we took it off one wall and low and behold, there was no wall there..hmm..
my hubby is at home depot right now as we speak buying waynes coating and new sink fixtures for our guest bathroom. We decided along time ago that we could never be on one of those home improvement shows together..someone would end up dead.
ha ha!
Come see, come see!
How classic--I'll have to remember that one.
And I love your Ferris quote, I smile every time.
Hahaa!!! My hubby is going to get wifed real soon as I get closer and closer to working on straightening out his junk closets!
