RE: I am WOMAN…hear me flush!?
Thank you so much @outerground I have a lot to take on in my house, this bathroom is now the fanciest room haha I figure though that now that I have done this, I'm practically a plumber and a carpenter so the rest of my house should be a breeze to tackle. lol It will only take me the next ten years ;)
I'm impressed. when my bathroom totally collapsed, I must admit, I let the builders repair it. I watched them carefully and although they refitted the shower enclosure incorrectly and had to replace it (and didn't tighten up the cistern properly) so it dribbled constantly into the pan.. I was intrigued with what they actually did. You were brave to take it on and I'm sure every time you look at it, you still blink and think.. did i do that ? when I open my cupboard and see the extra shelves I built, I still feel that 4 years later :) shelves, I can do ! I always wanted to build a house. Now, I'm not so sure. I'll be interested to see what you accomplish next.
my 2 year old daughter loves tools and helped me build her bed. she likes nuts and bolts and is a dab hand at putting the screws into the holes ready for tightening. She is also fascinated with the actual tools, which I think is great ! an engineer in the family, just like her grandad.. we're all artists !!
Funny, one of my twin daughter's is also fascinated with anything to do with building as well. Little go getters we have on our hands. Not to brag but I did win the shop award for woodworking in grade 8 so clearly the apple doesn't fall far..haha! My last project was putting together my son's bed which was gifted to him by his Grammie at Christmas. Was delivered right to my house so I got the privilege of staging the surprise. This is a loft bed though made of metal..you would not believe how many screws I had to allen key into place and how much my hands were sore and cramping for days afterwards. The expression..not a spring chicken comes to mind..sigh..
I joke that they'll end up as spaceship captains. we may not be far off. They could end up as real StarTrekkers in the not too distant future. I saw a great book for my daughter.. interstellar cinderella, she fixes broken spaceships with her sonic screwdriver. she tells the prince she's far too young to get married but will happy be his chief mechanic. I love it. she's got pink hair !
ooh that sounds like a GREAT book! Let's keep teaching them to think and dream to infinity....and beyond so they can do, be and FIX anything their hearts desire! ;)
Love it! Just found it on Amazon and right under it there is another author that wrote these books with the same idea..wonderful messages of children exploring their interests having a passion and persevering :)
