Oh, did I mention that a few days ago, Beloved Spouse took out all the carpeting?
Yes, two weeks before a major holiday, he decided it was the perfect time to move out all the furniture and take the floors down to bare concrete.
Did I mention he has no firm idea what to replace the carpeting with?
DID I MENTION IT'S TEN DAYS UNTIL THANKSGIVING AND THE LARGEST ROOM IN MY HOUSE HAS NO FURNITURE AND BARE CONCRETE FLOORS??

| I would kill for that kind of natural light, but otherwise that's pretty much how it looks. |

| Note: I am not actually going to beat BelSpouse to a bloody pulp, despite compelling justification. I love him that much. |
Have you ever noticed that when your heart is beating really fast, it sounds just like ohshitohshitohshit...?
Well, it does.
More on this story as it develops. I'm keeping 911 on speed dial...just in case someone needs it.
Oh, man, does that sound familiar. Our first big Thanksgiving, my husband found a leaking pipe under the front porch and spent the Saturday before Thanksgiving not calling a plumber, knee deep in mud, and getting me to fetch tools - so I was hamstrung and not cleaning as I needed to be.
ReplyDeleteFinally he called a plumber.
Who found it, dug it up and fixed it in 2 hours.
Last year, we had the family come in October and the night before they arrived, the washing machine DIED. We were removing the door to the mud room, the door to the basement - it was brutal.
I have lost my shit on many Thanksgiving Eves.
You should just stain the concrete... i've heard it's trendy! (and quick and easy for slackers)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have done that to you. I would have left the carpet down for Thanksgiving...and Christmas...and New Years, Valentines Day, St.Patricks Day, Easter, Cinco de Mayo, Labor Day, Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Halloween, and low and behold we're back at Thanksgiving and you still have carpet. Better?
