As a military wife and mother for 30+ years, I learned how to do a lot of things that were “guy jobs” because I had no guy to do them, and didn’t really want to pay someone. That was a double-edged sword where I lived...a woman alone, no man to dicker, being told “fees were negotiable.”
So I learned to be self-sufficient. I could pack a three bedroom house in two days and unpack it in one, and it would look, by the end of that day, as if we had always lived there. Some things you never “unlearn.”
Your hubby is very fortunate to have someone as resourceful as you!
I second that emotion!
All this talk of packing, moving and fixing plumbing...
UNGGHH!!
Spent (and I DO mean “SPENT”) TEN days in Oregon doing packing and moving things for my FIL, then spent my first five hours back home doing plumbing things for my renters.
THEN — 11:00am this morning — I get a call telling me Pop’s place up in OR was broken into. Nothing taken, ‘cuz we left nothing in the house to take, but they busted up a couple of door handles, and no doubt the property management will nick us for a few dead Presidents to fix that.
May have to make a trip back this weekend or next to improve security on the property.
O frabjous day!
