Handy Man???

So, anyone that actually knows a Workman knows that they are not handy.  Growing up a Webb, I thought that knowing how to build or fix anything was just a given, but it's not! 

A few weekends ago, Parks was procrastinating on a patent application and decided to pull up the black and white linoleum floors in our kitchen.  Instead of arguing with him, I just let him do it.  I knew he'd have to fix it eventually, so what the heck.  He pulled out the linoleum and I even helped him retrieve a few tools here and there.  Later that week, I had someone come by to see if we should refinish the floors or if we should just lay laminate.  He suggested laminate because of the size & cost.  Normally this would be music to my ears, the floors will be fixed inexpensively, until Parks said he would do it himself.  OH DEAR!!!

I had my wisdom teeth out on Friday morning & that afternoon Parks made his first trip to Home Depot.  He made 4 or 5 more trips throughout the weekend, but he did the floors.  I did have to help here and there, but not much.  I was shocked.  I honestly thought he would quit after 2 boards and just hire someone to do it, but he hung in there and finished the job.  Here are some action shots of his project.
