My parents worked their butts off while they were here. I would have felt guilty about it if there was a way to have stopped them from doing it, but that would have been impossible.
Since I knew I couldn't stop them from working I had planned a project for them. I needed an 18" trench dug from my elecrical box to my garage. A distance of about 150 feet. Papa said that Nana could only use a shovel that had a 6" handle on it and, wouldn't you know it, I didn't have one so that project never got completed!
They did however fix
- 5 broken kitchen drawers
- 3 doors
- Added an electrical outlet forthe TV.
- Replace a GFI breaker with a standard breaker for our washing machine
- Fixed the toilet that broke while I was at work.
- Added a whole house filter to our water system.
No we were not drinking when we installed it....lol. We just didn't have enough 90s to make it straight. And yes I do own stock in the company that makes the glue for PVC!!!!! Its not pretty but it doesn't leak and now my washer screen should not get plugged up!!!
I helped with 3,4. Tom and I helped with 6.
Brian also helped to troubleshoot an electrical issue while he was here. Someone drilled a hole in one of our walls and cut the electrical lines. Brian confirmed this by pouring salt water in the hole. I would have never thought to do that....lol
I love family reunions. I'm having another one about the time I plan to wire my garage!!!!
