D-Day

That could stand for divorce (Hoss and I don't work well together), disaster or the typical big event idea. Ugh...this weekend was AWESOME and SUCKED at the same time.
Friday - bright and early - my mom and dad came (YAY!!) and helped me lay down the new flooring for the girls. See they were supposed to keep the girls and I lay it down myself but they forgot and made out of town plans. To make up for it, mom decided to come and help (whoo hoo!) and dad ending up getting off and coming (WHOO HOO!!!!). By 11, dad was moving the washer and dryer... and then it went down hill. See about every two weeks I HAVE to wash clothes so Hoss had to plug up the washer and dryer before we layed the floor. Obviously something happened in the set up or when I washed and the washer leaked all over my floor.
No biggie, it'll dry. Surely Saturday morning -- 24 hour later I can lay the 8 STINKING pieces left... so dad finished up around the hot water heater and they left. Whoo hoo! Mostly done with only two pipes to cut around. I'm in good shape!
Saturday morning: floor not dry. Ok no biggie. The fan is going, door open, anything I can think of to dry it. Hoss and I go shopping! I need quarter round to finish the room and I want some shelving so the pups can have the full floor. Needed some other things from about 5 other places. 4 p.m. -- floor still not dry. Ok frustrated but still workable. I tend the flower beds, clean the baseboards, and ask Hoss to put up the shelves. BIG MISTAKE. Hoss doesn't just do, he plans for hours - I do and fix mistakes if necessary. In these cases I can be more active than him and I get frustrated. I've done these shelves before, no biggie. Hoss, apparently biggie. Fighting ensues. Shelving gets down eventually and floors still not dry. Now I'm mad!
Finally, 48 hours later, the floors are dry enough I'm laying that floor down. It was a long and trying weekend but it's done. I'll post pics when the quarter round get put down -- here's to hoping for Wednesday or Thursday, latest Sunday.
