Desiree has been here for scarcely a week, but we already put our relationship to a test. We did so by working together to install a custom shading system for my sunroom. That’s some risky business right there. A lot of sketchy character traits and raw emotions can surface when couples work together on such projects.
I ordered the
shading system last fall and have been sitting on the boxes containing the kit
for several months. Both the salesman who took my order for the kit and the
directions that came with the system components, insist the installation
requires two people. Desiree asked me to wait until she arrived so
she could help me install the shades.
After tinkering
with the installation over the course of several days, we completed the project
yesterday.
The shades
work great. Better yet, I am impressed
with Desiree. She is skillful when
working with hand tools. She also displayed
a great deal of foresight. As we say in
my hometown of East Helena, Montana, she was “thinking ahead.”
We enjoyed
working together. In the end, I will be her
wingman anytime.
