My Cute Husband is self-described as "not-handy" … and he isn't wrong.
Over the years, he has figured out some household handyman stuff but mostly, he'd rather hire it out and have it done correctly.
Once he installed a new toilet, sink and bathroom flooring …
it took ALL SUMMER.
Sew … when I set out to recover my TV tray table ironing board,
I knew I needed a staple gun,
and
turns out, we don't have a staple gun.
No problem … #2SonInLaw IS handy and does have a staple gun.
Admittedly, I did not read the instructions
printed right on that thing.
See the arrow?
I assumed that's where the staples are PUT IN.
NO
That's where they come out!
AND
Do not attempt to staple gun on a stool.
It's way to wobbly.
When I orginally made the GREAT next-to-the-sewing-machine Ironing Table, it was at a retreat and someone else brought the staple gun.
My good friend Amalia placed a penguin on my table.
His head got cut off
because …
We can NOT have cute penguins in our house.
We are Capitals Fans.
It's a hockey thing.
Anyway …
My Cute Husband came home while I was in the middle of this struggle and helped.
I held and pulled and smoothed out the fabric and he wielded the gun.
Turns out, it was much easier with 2 people.
TA-DAH!!!
I left the penguin … we just covered him up
