Out Of The Closet

I didn't get too far on my closet project. The top shelves are up, and I started on the vertical supports, but then it all came to a sudden halt.

You see, my hard work inspired my wife to tackle a few projects of her own. Three, to be exact. All at the same time. First, she decided to install handles on all of our kitchen cabinets and drawers. Then, she figured she'd paint the kitchen walls while she was making everything else look nice. And, finally, she bought this grouping of picture frames and candle shelves to hang on the family room wall.

All of which means that after she was done I had to stop what I was doing and come fix everything. The handles she bought included screws that were too short. Plus, she drilled the holes off center. Over on the family room wall, the picture frames and shelves were noticeably crooked.

And the new paint in the kitchen? Absolutely beautiful. She did a great job of taping and painting. The problem came after she stood back to look at it, then declared that she hated the dark green color and wants something lighter. So I'm off to the store for primer to paint over it.

Honey, why don't you just bring home the paycheck and leave the house to me.
