We spent the weekend in Minneapolis and of course had to visit IKEA. I came out of the store with an idea of how to build an adjustable sawhorse. Mandy came out of the store with two shelves, two storage racks, three baskets, a bunch of hooks, three light fixtures...you get the idea.

Today she had our 9 year old assemble the shelves in exchange for Wii time. Sounds like a good trade to me. When I got home, I tightened all the screws, cleaned out the laundry room, and set up the shelves. I called Mandy in to inspect the new layout. The first words out of her mouth were:
"Did you take a before picture?"
How silly of me! I forgot that the purpose of revamping our laundry room was to provide blog material. I'd type more now, but I need to go and take the shelves out of the laundry room, re-pile the dirty clothes and rearrange the dust bunnies. I'll also need the camera. To capture the before picture.
You are soooo funny! Mandy is a gem (and a great shopper!) Sometimes my husbands first words are "I'm sorry, I didn't take a picture first, but....." I love him!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious! You sounds like my husband!
ReplyDeleteduh.
ReplyDeleteone day you will learn to get multi before pictures. hopefully mandy made you take the shelves down to get that precious before picture.
ReplyDeleteYou know what's funny? Preston asks ME the same questions...I guess we'll have to work on our 'before picture' skills together :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a great blogger!! You also sound like a very good sport about everything to do with craft blogging. I really enjoy your blog posts. You have a great sense of humor. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying reading your posts :) Keep 'em coming!
ReplyDeleteCan't forget that before picture! :)
ReplyDeleteOkay so I love this, maybe it's because I'm married to an engineer and as I've been reading back through all the posts I am laughing out loud about some of the stuff you've said. It just all sounds so familiar. Especially the bit about printing the plans in color and binding them:)
ReplyDeleteI forget the before picture more times than I remember or if I remember the before picture I forget the step by steps.

As our handy man was demo-ing our hall bath yesterday, my husband texts me-Did you take before pictures?
