So now the husband wants to add floor moulding in his big barn… and you know what that means.
.
.
An entire afternoon picking through more wood than I thought humanly possible.
.
.
Granted, even I would reject that baby.
But come on…..
If he would take half as much time installing it as he does picking it out I might not mind. But nothing is going to be perfectly cornered or angled or mitered so why bother!

Our afternoon trip ended here.
.

With the moon rising and me refusing to cook the pork roast dinner I had planned.
You want perfect wood? You have to pay the piper.
Or in this case, the pizza place.
River's world..... 
Wonderful sunset, though…

We’re on the cusp of tear-down and construction project at our house and we just heard (from more than one source) that there’s a huge lumber shortage, but your hardware store looks pretty stocked. Lucky you!

Plywood has been scarce. As well as 2×4’s. Everyone is doing home projects during the pandemic!

My timing for a major home remodel that we’ve been planning/saving for for years really sucks.

We’d planned interior remodeling…. floors, bathroom updates etc. but who wants a houseful of contractors these days?

True. We’re lucky that our rooms are being attached to the outside of the house. Not 100% protected from contractors, but better than what you had planned.

I’m thinking this Barn Bar is going to turn into a 5 year project, you know like the last one? lol
OR, he’s really serious about this man cave/Barn Bar thing, so you should now consider what cover charge your going to charge those that visit said Barn Bar.

We started construction on the big barn April of 2012. Granted we haven’t done anything to it in the past 2 years until now… but yes, this bar reincarnation might be a while.

I’ve had this experience, so I sympathize. Male family member insisted that looking for the lumber is half the fun. They’re worse than that Sex in the City actress in a shoe store.

Best invest into a crockpot. Put roast in, close lid, turn on, forgetaboutit. Then when you’re done shopping for wood (hahaha! lol) go home, open pot, eat roast. (After you pour adult bevvies first…) 😉

I have two crockpots, but that idea only works if you know a trip to the lumber store is the plan. This was a 3 in the afternoon spur of the moment run.

Your husband looks a tad worried you are following him. I would go find the nearest shoe store or nail salon.
