DAY 5

Jen and I spent the majority of the day at Home Depot filling the shopping list Larry had for us. WOW! Everything from drywall to screws and a shower drain ended up on our two flatbed carts full of stuff! I'm pretty proud of us though. We got it done fast and we actually looked like we knew what we were doing! All the men in the lumber department kept looking at us like we were lost or had somehow wandered off from the garden area!

Little did I know at the start of the day that something as innocent as an exhaust fan was going to yield such horrific ramifications!

I mean, how can something that soothes a baby so well cause so much destruction?

Let me first clarify that THIS is not the hole for the fan! The hole for the fan is to the left of the picture. This is a hole which was made by our esteemed contractor's knee as he crawled back through the ceiling to retrieve the utmost valuable personal item:

cheap reading glasses

Yes folks, Larry risked life, limb, and ceiling for a $1.99 pair of spectacles!

So after lots of colorful language, (mainly toward me for asking for a fan) the hole was patched, and the fan is now installed! Yay! I asked Larry if we were even now since I, a vegetarian, had to stand in line for 15 minutes at the deli for his sliced turkey breast...I don't think he thought that was funny!
