Now It’s Time to Get Back to Work

December 26, 2012

Chris has this week off from work, which is marvelous. And being “self-employed” I’ve given myself this week off too. Sometimes I wake up early and get a little work done before Chris gets up, but the goal is to get lots o’ stuff done on the house. And because we were lazy yesterday, it’s time to get back to it today. It’s still raining, but that doesn’t stop us!

Yes, that’s me, in the rain cutting fittings off of pipes so that we can reuse the copper pipe and recycle the old cap. And if you look really close you can tell that Chris took an incredibly flattering picture of me with my pants unzipped (can you spot my pink underwear?) You don’t cut pipe with your pants unzipped? Well, I guess that makes sense because this probably isn’t your last pair of work pants that “fits” with your growing pregnant belly
Back to work!

    I totally clicked on the pic to see the open zipper before I read that part – I guess chicks can spot that after going through it ourselves! haha

    HAHAHAHA!

    You too will have a collection of renovation work maternity pants.

    Hmm, do I sense a business opportunity here??

    You my friend, are a genius 🙂

Oh, hello there. We're Chris and Meryl and we're renovating home in Oakland, CA. Chris is the handy, knowledgeable builder and I'm his slightly inappropriate assistant. We've got 2 helpers - Zoe is 2 and Merritt arrived in June of 2015. Spurred by our love of renovating our own home we started a handyman, design and organizing business and now that we're both self employed we're busier than ever, but we love it!
