If you heard crying and swearing coming from my backyard yesterday it's because with Luke's help, I put together a fire pit. To be quite honest, his help was minimal and came with a little bit of back-talk so I'm going forward with taking sole credit for this project.
With several sheets of instructions, tools, and many, many parts I was able to complete my task in about two and a half hours. (Please re-read the last sentence for effect.) Not to brag, but I'm a pretty big deal around my house this morning. My husband, Brantley said he was impressed and
seemed sincere. His only criticism was, "I can't believe you used the crappy wrench that came in the box. Classic rookie mistake."

Half-way finished in this photo, and it was taken
right after I figured out how nuts and bolts
work together. It makes so much sense now!! |
I garnered so much respect out of this accomplishment that Brantley even sat through half of the telling of my dream from last night. I got all the way through the bear attack and my escape through a koi pond, but not quite to the volley ball tournament before he walked out saying, "Oh my God. I don't care." That's progress, folks and for the record he should NOT ask why I was sleep screaming again unless he is willing to hear the WHOLE story.

Check and mate. Lori- 1. Brantley- 0.
