Men are very different creatures.

Example?

I’m neat and organized. When I start a job everything is laid out, prepped and ready to go.

The husband? Not so much.

His latest weekend project is putting up interior walls in our barn.

It’s a lovely barn, at least from the outside.

And he built it by himself, nights and weekends for years.

I love to sit on the porch and read….. but try not to go inside. It’s a large space and he’s filled it with totally useless crap.

So when it came time to put up walls? There wasn’t a lot of room.

This is how he works.

Clearing  a few feet as he goes along.

The very sight of it makes me twitch.

And if you’re wondering why he has a microwave, a toaster oven and a broken water cooler in the barn? It’s because his office was throwing them out.

Need I say more?

And yes.

That is a giant bullet behind the box of wooden shoe forms.

Please don’t ask.

Summertime is project time….

And the garage/woodshed/storage building is getting a long over due vinyl siding face lift.

First,  the  husband had to be bribed, cursed, nagged  rotted wood had to be replaced.

And there was plenty of that.

Of course, we weren’t expecting the surprise the  lousy land beaver, Devil’s spawn  woodchuck left for us in the storage space out back.

Dirt.

And tunnels.

The little  bastard, rodent of Satan  darling had been busy.

So we spent an hour and a half filling holes and smoothing earth.

I have a feeling this job is going to be the   end of my marriage, reason I drink   gift that keeps on giving.
