| #11 ..not done well, on my part. Don't work well under pressure these days. Good reason to be retired. |

#9 Then again, there is no senior management to insist on a 'compressed' time schedule. Well, my management insists you could have completed the same task in 3 months if you'd added two more women to the job. |

| #8 'It's important to know one's limits.' The TW Bardess speaks truth. My personal limits are reached just after I let all the magic smoke out of the wires..... |

| #6 I married an engineer who'd worked in high school on his uncle's construction crew. We had so much fun renovating our first house over several years -- an Edwardian four-square with as much stained glass, woodwork, fireplaces, and an attic in need of being made into a funky, livable space as one could want without dealing with the gingerbread of a true Victorian -- that we bought a few more small houses and redid them, too. As a result we were prepared when the renovation of trailing daughter #2's new husband's adorable 1940's bungalow needed to be finished on a very fast timeline before they were transferred across the country... And as a result td#2 and nh learnt new skills they hadn't realized they didn't have, and discovered they thoroughly loathe doing that kind of work. The house they recently bought on the far side of the country was built in the 1990s; they will eventually paint the rooms in colours more to their taste. It's important to know one's limits. Chip Gaines is a professional contractor with a professional crew; Joanna Gaines is a professional decorator. |

| #5 Then again, there is no senior management to insist on a 'compressed' time schedule You ought to come around here during our self-performed projects, P2k. 'Timely Completion' is always part of the ongoing one-way discussions. |

| #4 Honey I saw it on TV and it only took a half an hour! Well, this year its been 9 months not a half an hour, but the labor was free. Then again, there is no senior management to insist on a 'compressed' time schedule. Done right, on budget, on schedule. Yep, you get two out three. I blame HGTV for giving up 'apartment' white living. |

| #3 Chip and Joanna give the Missus and I something to do together. Also the Property Brothers. But we are done with renovations and hire out lots of things I used to do. |
