In the distant future, when I decide what I want to be when I grow up, I will have a pretty good idea of what I don’t want to be. I don’t want to be a plumber, a carpet/tile/wood floor installer, a playground builder, a drywall person, an HVAC person, an electrician, a landscaper, a gardener, a roofer, a window installer, a carpenter (sorry Jesus!) or a dentist. How do I know this you might ask? Well, I know it because I have taken on every single one of these rolls in the past 2+ years we have lived in a fixer upper (with exception of Dentist. I don’t have to touch people’s bleeding gums to know I don’t want to do that). My apologies if you are currently employed in one of these professions. Honest work is noble work no matter what you do. And don’t get me wrong, we have been blessed with this house and the experiences we have had but if I am going to build a house, then it better be brand new.

Today I added one more thing to the list of occupations that I will not be taking on when I grow up. Whole House Humidifier Installer Guy. Not going to happen. I took out the broken humidifier today and worked to replace it with a new system. What a mess!

(The old system half way torn out)

I mean who ever came up with the idea of combining HVAC, plumbing, and electrical into one project should be shot! After ’bout 6 hours of jerry-rigging the system with baling wire, duck-tape and cardboard, I am proud to say we have humidity in our house again.

All I know is, Juli had better pipe down on the whole hair split ends thing!
