This is a bad idea, a really bad idea. I am not sure we know what we are doing, and I am pretty sure we will end up in a fight. We have very different ways at looking at things, and understanding how things work. We also have different skill sets. Such as, I am able to stay calm and rational, while he is one that is quick to freak out. I maybe a little wrong about that part, but who is writing this blog anyway? I am also very creative at making up words for what things are called, is it my fault my hubs does not have very good translating skills to follow what I am saying? Maybe I need to stop blogging and start praying that everything will go the right way.
We were able to get a screen door for pretty cheap, but it was second hand, so we have to figure out how to install it all on our own. We have been watching videos on you tube, and lets just say some of those experts are clearly idiots, trying to be the next Bob Villa, but are failing in a spectacular way. So they aren't much help.
I am sure we can find an "expert" at the big box stores, but that is one thing I am scared of really, they are just as clueless most days. But they act like that vest they wear comes with some sort of special powers, the ability to become invisible, as well as be a master carpenter/painter/gardener/plumber/etc. So they will either run and hide from you, or they will go on and on about things they don't get, or my personal favorite, talk down to you while telling you that you can't possible do it the way you want to, and that you will be lucky to make it out of the house alive after you are done.
If we weren't asking for punishment enough, we are going to have the teenager help us. This should be an added joy. I have a guess that by the end of the day, two of us won't be talking, someone will be bandaged in some way, and we will have made three trips to the home repair supply store. But I know we will have a new screen door in place, finally after having it lean up against the side of the house for months now. And we will resume talking to each other once we have settled down and realize that the task is completed and no one needed to be hospitalized.
