I’ve learned my lesson.

~Glitzy: An “As I Lay Plumbing” T-shirt? Faulkner is spinning in his grave.

~Michelle: Husbands are doomed to fail when it comes to at least one home improvement.

~sic: If I were ever to plant stakes in the GTA, I’d probably stick to American Companies, as I’m an American Writer, who doesn’t spell things like colour and with no knowledge of Canadian Biz except for what I’ve read about Boy Staunton’s exploits in The Deptford Trilogy.

So don’t kill me, please, I’m a sensitive soul.

Should you, however, move to Toronto, then you would be deemed competition. As such, I would have to kill you. I hope you understand.

My husband and I had a similar experience early in our marriage that involved hanging wallpaper in the bathroom. Stupid, stupid idea. <br /><br />Fast forward many years, and it was "installing a Solatube in only two hours using simple household tools!" Right.<br /><br />The moral: plumbers, wallpaper hangers, and carpenters need to make a living, too. Don't deny them. And remember, call them BEFORE you make yourself and your whole household crazy.
