What do they know? I love tools...and I can handle them all myself. I think I love tools more than my husband. I actually get really excited to go to Home Depot to check them out.<br /><br />You have had and enormous job in renos and I feel for you..it is a labour of love that I know all too well....it&#39;s looking great.miabellavintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12304621780181651143noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768501181857156570.post-73301392004756889792011-11-22T17:19:46.557-05:002011-11-22T17:19:46.557-05:00Hey Sweetie<br />Looking fabulous...

Love the floors, the walls, heck loving all the progress! Yeah, deal with the &quot;oh your husband will have to do it&quot; all the time...I&#39;ve set a few straight on the matter and was asked if they could rent me to teach their wives LOL So although we don&#39;t think much about it, apparently there are a lot of women who cannot do the tools.<br /><br />Looking forward to your next post. Oh yeah, btw I didn&#39;t notice the previous rug shadows....and once you get your things in there, you won&#39;t notice them either :)<br /><br />Hugs,<br /><br />&quot;Her&quot; and RomeoRomeohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10931122737257172540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768501181857156570.post-59646186400741587162011-11-21T20:17:16.200-05:002011-11-21T20:17:16.200-05:00Woohoo Donna!!!

I have never tried sanding floors, afraid the big drum sander would get away from me and make a circular mark in the floor. I am totally amazed at your determination and abilities from doing the backbone stuff, like mudding walls and the pretty stuff that you do for your Etsy shop and HOrtons. Have a nice Thanksgiving Donna!Amy @MaisonDecorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10622362955890810774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768501181857156570.post-10844969332725861512011-11-19T07:46:40.225-05:002011-11-19T07:46:40.225-05:00You go girl! Work that equipment. The floors look great. We know all about hard work and DIY. We built our house and did all the finishing work ourselves sixteen years ago. You should have videoed yourself working that sander and then take it and show that guy. That will make him stop making comments to women like that.Kim @ Savvy Southern Stylehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12493624262438266840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768501181857156570.post-67395016262505852152011-11-19T06:06:48.707-05:002011-11-19T06:06:48.707-05:00I am so glad you did not let that man talk you out of doing the work yourself.

I have discovered that man stuff is easier than woman stuff. Man stuff is just bigger and without the small details. And women are so much better at the details that when we do man stuff...we do a better job. I&#39;ve learned this the hard way.Nita {ModVintageLife}http://www.blogger.com/profile/13833196166679983378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6768501181857156570.post-37218396696999446672011-11-19T00:05:37.447-05:002011-11-19T00:05:37.447-05:00I&#39;m confused...I thought you&#39;d already redone your kitchen with the cute little red stove.

LOL! Don&#39;t men know a woman can do in one step what it takes a man four...and never...never...never tell a woman she can&#39;t. Those are fighting words! Next time you go to rent tools...show up riding a front end loader. That&#39;ll teach him!<br />It&#39;s looking wonderful and I&#39;m so excited for you.<br />BTW...the open house was beautiful.
