One afternoon, when the temperature was near 90 and the humidity level was almost as high, my husband decided it would be a good time to start ripping up the old deck. You know, the one we hired a contractor to rip up and rebuild.

.

.

It was hard, heavy, hot work. Which is why we’re paying someone else to do it.

.

.

An hour or so into the demolition, said contractor showed up…

.

.

And was a little surprised the husband had already started the project for which we’d hired him.

.

.

But they worked side by side, in the heat…

.

.

Because no one told him husbands who are bored with retirement need to keep busy.

.

.

In less than three hours…

.

.

All the rotted old wood planks had been ripped up…

.

.

And hauled to my husband’s truck…

.

.

Because yes, he would dispose of them as well.

.

.

Remind me again why we hired a contractor….?
