Dust in the window

I came home one day to find the wall between our media room and kitchen torn down, 2 X 4's cut across at odd lengths with a hand saw. Sheet rock all over the place. I knew she did not like that wall and she made totally sure it would not recover.

Hand made Japanese pull saws are a work of art and very expensive. I have several. One is a very fine hollow ground rip saw for cutting dovetails. It cost $300. I found the Mrs trimming her bushes with it. 

She is from rural Alabama and they do know how to get things done to a degree. They don't sell old pick up trucks. They park them in the field next to the house. Might need the parts one day. You've seen the pictures, several rotting hulks parked next to the house. Picturesque. 

To clear things up just in case someone got the wrong idea. I do dust the room occasionally, like once a month, but I don’t go nuts cleaning like my wife would. Hence, she stays away, and we are both happier.  Also, my wife uses one of the spare bedrooms (kids are long gone) for her sewing and ironing, so why crap up my space upstairs?

My wife like application heavy duty machine too. Love adventure woman.

A good buddy of mine had two expensive phono cartridges ruined by his housekeeper while dusting. She kept her job after the first mistake but not the second time. 

A good friend took his new wife, who had no experience with snow, for a winter vacation in the mountains. Flying, then renting a car.  One morning after a heavy snow, his wife, seeing the car covered, took a metal spatula to clear off the car.  Wanting to be thorough, she scraped the snow off the entire car, scratching the hell out of the paint job -- a small detail she was oblivious to. The marriage survived.
