I need to tell you how ridiculous Jason is, but in order to do that, I need to give you some background.
On our first Labor Day together, I had really high hopes. I thought we'd sleep in and spend the majority of the day lazing around in bed. Maybe find a "Love It or List It" marathon, eat donuts, and never change out of our jams.
Instead, we got up early and painted the exterior of his house. On Labor Day. We finished the siding, then he hits me with, "Should we go ahead and do the porch?" Sighhhh, okay. We finish the porch and he says, "Should we paint the window trim while we're at it?" Sighhhhhhhhhhh, okay.
[In his defense, it WAS better to get it all done at once. Also, we WERE preparing that house for sale so he could buy us a new house. : )]
But about half-way through (the siding, ha), he says, "Hey. It's really amazing that we're already half-way done and haven't gotten in a fight. I've never had that before."
Awwwww. Let's paint the porch and trim!!
So, painting went really well.
It went so well that we thought we'd tackle replacing an interior and an exterior door.
Three days later, Jason said to me, "Babe. If I EVER tell you that I want to do some kind of renovation, home remodeling ANYTHING, slap me across the face."
[We did finally get the two doors hung.]
Fast-forward to the current story: installing wood floors for the house.
J: We could save a lot of money if I figured out how to install the floors...
me: Which side do you want it on?
AND
me: Do you think we should replace the carpet in the closet with wood?
J: We need to do something. We could replace it with new carpet.
me: But then we have to have them come back out to measure, cut...
J: Well, I can replace the carpet.
me: I'm going to slap you.
J: What? Why??
me: Home improvement!!
J: Well, I think I can handle a square of carpet!!!!
me: Are you sure?!?!?!
[We had the floors professionally installed, including our closet. But J did successfully remove the entry-way tile and thinset, and we ripped up ALL of the old carpet.]
