Hunk-A, Hunk-A, Stud Muffin

One of Joe's many talents is working around the house. He loves to "putter" and I love to give him projects.


So when the epic water leak of '10 ruined our entire wood floor, because of this much damage, my mind went in to home improvement overload.


Because I knew this was in our future


and this


and our furniture would make it's home in the "cozy kitchen"


and if the floors where being replaced, it would be a perfect time to install bead board in the dining room. Because I want it to look like the picture below and pretend I live here.


With MUCH reservation-he said YES! I think his exact words were: I really have serious doubt about this, but I'll do it because it's a good excuse to get the nail gun I've always wanted.


Merry Christmas to the one I love!


My "stud" looking for studs.
