Talented Hubbies.....Lucky Ladies !!!!
While my DH never ever says a negative word about my hobbies or my quilting....and the dust and dishes and laundry could pile up and he'd never say a word.... i just HAVE to share an old story about his approach to any kind of handy-work around the house...
First, background wise - my DH has been in the wood business all his life - starting with his dad's lumber yard and small sawmill.
Many years ago i wanted a ceiling fan in our bedroom - i bought the ceiling fan and showed it to DH and said, we can mount this ourselves. He said no we couldn't....i insisted we could.
He then told me to look up electricians in the yellow pages. I said we didn't need one, we could do it ourselves, but he insisted. So i got out the phone book and turned to the Electricians page....DH said..."Any of those electricians selling lumber?"....of course not, say I......."well, when electricians start selling lumber, I'll start doing electrical work".
Nuff said.
