a little sweat equity

my husband and i did one home improvement project together...24 years ago...this month to be exact. our first condo needed a new kitchen floor. laying parquet seemed easy enough. not so, we learned. not such a good way to start a marriage we decided. so our commitment to each other included a clause...no more home improvement projects... until we had money in the bank to hire professionals.

but every now and then, i get a shot of fixer up adrenaline going. how hard can it be to remove nails, and railings and shelves we don't want...i mean really...

...so first john gives it a try...

then i say... let me at it...

so i hammer...then i twist...then i hammer some more...and...

well...i guess it's time to call the professionals in:)
