If I didn't have Jessie around, I might not have a good reminder that I've got lessons to learn. :) Glad you enjoyed it Alison.

I can so relate (along with my husband). You didn't ramble . . . . don't know what post you "really wanted to write", but this is the one I really wanted to read. My favorite part: "Well, we can do any damn thing we want without much thought, but doing it well and doing it happily are more difficult results to come by." Have to say I am liking Jessie, too.

Women are always right, see. That’s why I’m always saying, “we need a plan” before we start something like that. Women are always right, see.

There are always unforeseen conditions to be expected in any project you take on. My problem is that sometimes I don't allow myself the time upfront to account for the things that shouldn't get missed in the first place! Kevin, Glad you persevered.

I installed a dishwasher in our new house from scratch - no previous dishwasher existed there before. I had to move cabinets, run electrical and plumbing. I did one previously, but there are always new challenges based on the project. You're lucky your HD is open until 10pm, I had to run out at 7:45 b/c I was short about 1.5-2 ft of wire to run from the disposal to the switch and needing a different fitting for the water supply. They closed at 8 and I barely made it. I finished about 11:30 on Sunday night, the next day at work wasn't too fun. I feel your pain, Tyler.
