I love the fact that Deon can fix, install, build, design, etc anything we need, but I hate the fact that when he does a project, he usually gets hurt. At the trailer he did the wood fence and then blew his knee up skiing, then the tile...shoulder surgery and the chain link fence up front of the trailer, a really really bad bloody nose that required having to go to a specialist. It's awful, but hasn't changed getting into a house. Last Sunday, he finished putting in our new doors, and Friday....we had to run him to the VA Hospital Emergency room. While we was putting in the doors, he knelt on something that caused a microscopic cut on his left knee...by Friday, his leg was swollen from the knee down, and red and hot to the touch. They gave him an iv, and he got to keep it until Sunday morning. Both Saturday and Sunday we had to go clear back up to the VA and get his IVs done. I am thinking that I am going to have to learn how to do some home improvements so that Deon don't have to do it and get an injury. LOL...just kidding!! We want the home improvements to be done right, I am not sure I can get them done right. Thankfully they removed the iv yesterday and he seems to be doing a lot better. It just scares me when the doctor says "either sit and keep your leg up or die from the infection"
Hope you all had an uneventful weekend

Wow! At least he is good at doing stuff himself. TJ wants and to tries and is... getting better. :)
Yikes....Doesn't sound to fun!!! Poor Deon. The end work is great I bet...
I'm sure you would do a fine job also...and I sure Deon will keep pluging away helping you...and soon you won't even notice when he doesn't get hurt because it will be the norm ;o). He just has to get it out of his system...Ha,ha,ha.
You need to post more pictures of this great house of your!!! And all the fun improvements.
yep, Deon loves to do home improvements and everything. It's just weird how a lot of the times he gets hurt.
I will try and post more pictures soon. There's not much we have done lately.
John likes doing all sorts of home improvements too. I was hoping when we moved into the new house we wouldn't need to do anything, but he's always dreaming up something to make this place better! He doesn't get hurt, but we have to make multiple trips to Lowes for each project. He can never get everything the first time, he forgets/doesn't think he needs it/buys the wrong size/changes his mind halfway through and needs more or different supplies...ERGH! It drives me crazy!
Welcome to a woman's world TerrieBeth....lol....that is how they all are. Except here we have Lowe's and Home Depot we go to.
