Daddy to the rescue

So after Dad saw the photos, he called and now he is coming over tomorrow with a plan. :D He is also going to help me replace the leaking water shut-off valve, which I have never done before. :D

I tried hard to get the disposal in tonight after I cut the waste pipe, but after four tries and banging myself on the forehead when I dropped the damn thing, I gave up. And Corey won't be home for a while. The compact disposal isn't even all THAT heavy, but when you are trying to hold it up to the opening with one hand and line up and screw the screw mechanism with the other, well, it isn't a one person job unless you are really strong and really skilled. I got it lined up and screwed on in two of the three slots, but the third slot completely eluded me. If you've never screwed on a disposal I am sure you have no idea what I am talking about, but suffice to say, it's not a solo job.

So now it is nearly 9pm and I am off to my studio to try to relax and do something creative...or at least straighten it up so I can be creative. I really need to fold a few loads of towels, but housework, shmousework, I am DONE for tonight and my arms hurt. I'd knit, but my right hand is sore from all the knitting this weekend compounded by the pipe cutter.

And how come I've never gotten or even seen an "I voted" sticker? I just heard about these today and I've been voting for 20 years now.
