FML

I have been in the process of redoing my bathroom for like 4 months. I painted the cabinet black, then painted the walls grey. The paint looks blue so I got new paint but have been waiting to paint because I want my husband to do a few things in the bathroom first. I have left over bead board from putting it up in my kitchen. So he needs to cut it and glue it up. I also bought a new light fixture and towel & toilet paper rings. So the old needs to come down so I can paint.
Erik's great, he's a great dad and so kind and loving, but he IS NOT HANDY. He hates projects. He hates having to figure anything out. I've done most of the painting, projects, and upgrades in our house, but there are some things I can't do, like saw & mess with electricity. He doesn't care how the bathroom looks, so it's not a priority to him. I hear of husbands who tile and paint and enjoy those tasks, why can't I have one of those!?

So basically it's been a mess, and to top it off last week I was trying to clean out the drain because the water was backing up and the black unclogger got stuck in the drain. Erik tried pulling it out and pulled the sink up out of the counter. So now we need a new sink/counter to add to the list. And it's football season so I'm looking at like 3 more months of my bathroom looking like this, FML:

See the black thing coming out of the sink.

However, he did finally mount our tv to the wall, it only took him 6 months. And I painted our little tv stand which turned out cute.

So, do you sand before you paint? I have so much stuff I want to paint/stain but I HATE the sanding part.

Hang in there... it could be worse!

I love having Ryan as a handy man but without a doubt Erik has other qualities that I would like Ryan to have!
