    I can't even imagine being like "so we have to take the old burner out, extend this with concrete, so we'll have to cut the floor, and then tile." and THEN IT BEING DONE RIGHT THEN AND THERE. Good lord. It's amazing. It takes minimum 2 weeks to just THINK about anything being done in our house.

      @@escapetoruralfrance exactly, I built a new house with hubby & grandparents when I was 21 with my first little one on the way & I cant imagine any scenario where I would have let my 2+ yr old to use a working drill even with the bit out. And the way you guys use rhetorical questions with them and deflect to new activities avoids any sense of disapproval in your directions to them. Now a grandma I am in awe esp. since the kids get through this much with without crying and other behaviors, they are so even tempered. Wonderful!

    LOL "don't hang a leg off!" Just like my mum telling my dad not to see-saw balance the scaffold board out of the bathroom window so he could reach the top of the side-door porch for re-pointing by using me & my 12 yr old sister as a counter weight. In a few years you could have fantastic assistant counter-weights too!! (p.s. we never stopped stopped leaning in freshly laid concrete or wet paint/varnish or running muddy boots across new concrete/brand-new carpets etc...but me and my sisters all know how to paint & wallpaper, dry-wall, mix concrete and lay loft insulation if we ever need to, so.... debt paid i guess ;D)
