I hope it's completed soon and well. (We're probably going to be putting an addition on next year, so maybe you could send the home improvement vibes back to me when you're done with them? ;-)Pack 731 Committee Chairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01987814521362897211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27813428.post-60902992429790510712011-08-11T10:57:27.724-07:002011-08-11T10:57:27.724-07:00LOL, "marriage quality control checkup",...LOL, "marriage quality control checkup", that is so funny!

Touch and go for a while but the marriage managed to survive-somehow. <br /><br />Another 5 years later, it was time for another marriage quality control checkup: we did another house from the ground up. I thought we had just about lost it this time but the project was finished just ahead of our marriage being finished because of it. We had survived. For 25 + years now: no new home projects. I think we are afraid to test the marriage again.Miles of the Journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00295194313811880472noreply@blogger.com
