Thread: I'm in the doghouse...again

Tweet

Just when I thought things were on the up and up here at home, with the weather breaking, and me getting started on halloweeen a little early, I go and wind up in the doghouse again.

Been working on my mask over the winter, which got me started thinking about other projects. So out I go to Lowes and get my styrofoam for the tombstones...all this I could do in the garage over the cold winter.

Winter came and went, and now I'm really making progress on my cemetery fence. I had to go to Lowes again last week and buy like $20 worth of wood, screws, etc... Wife didn't get mad at all.

She made the comment last week about finishing up the drywall in the family room that was supposed to be my winter project... Well I made the comment Tuesday that drywall was on sale for like $4 a sheet, she said I should maybe buy it on Friday. That was yesterday. I called her at work and asked her if I should get the drywall and she said "No, you got your other projects to finish." Guess what I did...

I went to Lowes and bought more supplies for yet another round of fence. Didn't get the drywall. I was supposed to get the drywall, I just didn't know it...

Can't figure out women yet.... but I'm getting drywall tomorrow.

I told her...the drywall is work, but the Halloween building is fun. Fun usually comes before work right, especially for Halloween?!

When will I learn...lol Thank god she's a good sport.

Anybody else put Halloween before other projects?

well, not quite sure what u mean of other projects. Oh maybe the drywall u have to do, that kinda stuff takes lots and lots of time to get done. All about priority's....halloween prop building first.....excues to wify next.

I've got two engines in my garage that I'm suppose to be cleaning up so I can sell them and get them out of the garage. So, the wife gets pretty peeved when I prop up tombstones ON THOSE MOTORS so that I can paint them. I started on the motors this weekend, but little does she know, it's only because I need more prop-building room.

LMAO, welcome to my world bud, my wife thinks I'm looney (what haunter isn't a little) I also have been building over the winter, in fact just completed my Coffin Knocker, I decided to give it a trial run in the Den, my wife walks past it, trips the sensor, it starts knocking, fogging, screaming and she wasn't happy..Well there was a little bit to much Fog in the House bit so what ...I stay in the Dog House,it's easier that way.

Mind if I ask where in Richmond Hill you live? My bro in law lives in Sterling Creek.

I live two blocks down from him, In Peircefield Forrest.

hey, guess i'm not a guy so no dog house for me, but, my husband just says he needs to get me on dr. phill. now wouldn't that be fun, and what if he gave me great halloween ideas. now that could be a possitive thing. who knows, maybe he's a halloween expert?

My husband was telling me the other day he wishes he were more like me in some ways (inner strength, etc), and I told him I wished I was more like him. He asked in what ways, and I said I needed "man skills". I SO wish I wasn't chicken s*&t to use a saw, air gun/hammer, etc. , because I'd be a prop building fool. I've literally got the tools, just not the skills and the sand.

Coal Miner- how long have you been married? I can feel the underlying tone of that conversation from here. It's women's equivalent of "I'm fine " or "nothing's wrong". Hope she at least throws you a bone while you're in the doghouse.

LOL! That is funny!

Been married about 9 years. I decided to make my next prop be a sign for my garage....I'm naming it the DOGHOUSE. I'll use my leftover styrofoam... Looking forward to a bone thrown my way every once in a while
