Oh gawd, HP, your story made me soooo hot. Especially the part about spackling the basement. Can you tell me, does your H use a Red Devil 3" flexible putty knife? If so, could you post a picture? Dang, it's been so long since I've even touched my putty knife, and, regrettably, it's only a 2-incher. And, even more regrettably, it's a Sherwin-Williams bargain bucket special. I know, how is Ms. H-dog supposed to get aroused with that kind of tool on my belt? Well, wouldn't you know it, she's more of a "just put a picture over it and hide the darn hole" kind of person, anyway. The last time she had her hands on a bucket of spackle, she thought it was joint compound, for cryin' out loud.
