In our first house we ended up installing ALL the baseboards ourselves. That's the problem with building violins. It's really hard to opt out of certain jobs because if you can build a violin, surely you can [insert home project involving wood 'here'].<br /><br />Looking forward to pictures of the finished work.Korinthia Kleinhttp://the-quiet-corner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-33653583623409201002012-12-21T19:03:17.471-05:002012-12-21T19:03:17.471-05:00That goes for guys too!That goes for guys too!Homemaker Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04184158557108064422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-53448904449096037622012-12-21T16:28:25.232-05:002012-12-21T16:28:25.232-05:00I can get 12 ft long sheets of drywall in my 15 pa...I can get 12 ft long sheets of drywall in my 15 passenger van.

Usually, the length is on the tag on the outside of the bin the wood is in. And I can testify that if you're willing to drive with wood resting on the dash and stretching back between the seats, that the Saturn compact station wagon and Nissan Versa hatchback will both accomodate 8 foot long board. But no longer!

We had an addition built onto our house and the carpenter picked out the awfullest windowsills ever. If the men are going to be the ones who work with the wood, they need to develop a better decorative wood picker talent.Common Household Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03715969218648104267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-88595225697400686242012-12-21T09:20:56.682-05:002012-12-21T09:20:56.682-05:00I actually have a friend that met a guy at Home De...I actually have a friend that met a guy at Home Depot and then went on several dates with him lol.Julie Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14827476441219850741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-49269582375820052192012-12-21T07:28:40.093-05:002012-12-21T07:28:40.093-05:00I'll admit it, even if the feminist sisterhood...I'll admit it, even if the feminist sisterhood gives me the side eye: what I miss most about marriage is having someone else do most of the driving and all of the Lowe's shopping trips.
