There ain't no reason you and me should be alone tonight

Today the wife clocked in on the job site for the first time. We spent the morning pulling the lath from the corners of the room, pulling out the dead wires, and pulling the nails from all of the studs in the room. We also swept up and vacuumed.

I had to buy one more box of contractor bags and a few vacuum bags for 40 bucks. Total cost of the project is now up to $86.79.

Every time wifey and I embark on a project together, whether it's dicing vegetables or painting a room, there comes a time when I realize that wifey is progressing about as quickly as a drunken turtle. Today my investigation revealed that wifey was not pulling nails and letting them fall on the floor like a normal person. She was collecting them in a small basket. I don't even know where she got the damned basket. Who brings a little basket to a job site?
