Sadly I’m not talking about my kind of round… the one that involves limes and tequila.
.
.
The insulation, ceiling and lights were finished in the big barn project. And silly me…. I thought that meant we were done.
.
.
But upon further deliberation, the husband decided he want to put quarter round moulding all around the top of the walls for a more finished look.
.
.
And while I’m never one to argue with finish work…
.
.
With the husband, things don’t always go as planned.
.
.
Yes, he’s holding a bottle of glue.
And no, you don’t want to know why.
He even put moulding on top of the steel beam.
.
.
And got me up on the ladder to hold it in place, which wasn’t exactly where it should have been.
.
.
The 327lb prized antique potato planter was moved a few hundred times, because, you know… they’re never where you want them.
.
.
Do we plant potatoes? No. We never have, and never will.
Enough said.
And while we’re at the porch door…
Kindly look up.
.
.
There… see it?
.
.
That.
A section of plywood ceiling that clearly has writing on it.
Why?
Because the husband says he didn’t notice it and refuses to undo everything to flip it over.
Finish work does not always look finished around here.
😰
Looks like you will be painting…..

I know it is a stupid question but will he ever do anything with the tires???
You know you could make a lot of money starting a youtube series “How NOT to do things starring my husband!” or “How to drive a wife crazy!”

No, he never will. But he keeps collecting them anyway. Half of this batch was from a friend who moved, the other half from someone who was going to throw them away. And we know he can’t tolerate that!

Well when the trees that didn’t die grow string branches he can make swings for kids with the tires… 🙄😄
The writing on the plywood ceiling gives the barn (more) character. I mean, how many people can say they have that AND a shelf blocking the doors? 😂
Also. You have blog fodder. 😁

I’d get a big stamp and start stamping the rest of the plywood, you know to make it match. I’m sure the hubs would LOVE that…lol.

I like Martin’s idea about a YouTube channel just about your husband’s projects. You could call it DIY Don’ts.

It looks pretty good (you can sand that printing off), or paint over it.

No paint allowed. He wants it all natural. You know, from the rare plywood tree.

It’s a barn, not the Taj Mahal. Or Sistine Chapel, Or the Notre Dame Cathedral. Barns demand imperfection. Except in this case “imperfection” is spelled “C-h-a-r-a-c-t-e-r”
