IN THE MIDDLE OF ANOTHER REMODLING JOB

I guess since our frontroom turned out GREAT! Bill decided to start another project and this time it is the master bathroom. This is a project well over due! since our home is 30 plus years old the master bath is not a big room it has the basics, no more, no less. We started about a week ago. and at this moment we have no shower, no flooring, and thank goodness no more wallpaper! Bill's dream would be to have a steam shower. We have looked at them but due to the size or lack there of we just don't think we can get it to work. We have had to switch gears. We are now leaning to granite. Now we are waiting to do anymore until after next weekend due to the fact that there is a homeshow coming to the Expo, we want to go see if we can see anything there that we haven't seen yet. Today our neighbors the Joseph's are moving so I went over first thing this morning to help clean the house. while I was gone Bill was tearing out the floor in the bathroom and prepping the walls. After he was done with that he had decided to head downstairs to clean up the storage room since he had made a mess in there from having to replace the subfloor in the shower. there was lot's of sawdust and wood pieces. He had his big shop vac and was on his hands and knees vaccuming when all of a sudden I hear him yell at the top of his lungs "HELP" I ran down the stairs to find him struck to a piece of carpet that was just laid on the floor with a fish hook in the carpet that was now hooked in his finger...Can you so OWIE, OWIE! (OK you know that he didn't say that, but I am not allowed to put those words in here) he was stuck good. He kept telling me he needed snips to beable to cut the hook out of the carpet so he could get up. Could I find any?? NOOO I ran upstairs to see if they were in the drawer I yell at Tanner to see if he knew where they were, he grabbed his leatherman knife and ran downstairs, they would not do the job, I finally find the snips. Bill is able to cut the hook out of the carpet now he still has the hook (a 3 hook hook) in his finger one of the hooks is in so deep you cannot see the curve. I say we need to go to the ER but Bill has his own ideas, he is sure he can get it out himself. I get the firstaide kit out and he grabs the tweezers the hook will not budge. he then grabs the plyers (yes I did say plyers) and pulls, I can hardley look, he is sweating and in a lot of pain. it still doesn't budge, he tries one more time and he gets it out! he cleans it out puts a band aide on it and goes back to work......huh! who does that.....BILL that's who. It is his birdie finger on his left hand an tonight it is turning colors I'm sure it is badly bruised. Who would ever think that of all the things he has been doing that he would get hurt vaccuming and then to get hooked by a fish hook? After all of that I figured he needed some pampering so I took him out to dinner went to Rumbi's. I love that place! The day turned out pretty good considering how the afternoon went.
