Meet Dave, my new husband. He just started working today. I was afraid he would think I was a bit creepy and cra-cra if he saw me welding a camera. I lurked around windows to sneak a shot or two.

| Dave cleaning my very high gutters. Sorry about sky light glare! |
I'm over the moon that he is cleaning all the gutters. Dave used 3 different size brushes, a broom, bucket, blower and hose. Praise the Lord! Next, Dave cut the backside out of a tree he saw threatening the roof. He also cleaned my skylights that were covered in pollen. Thanks Dave!
He's coming back next week to power wash and stain the deck and front porch. He is going to do some re-design work on the railing porch railing. Be still my heart.... I hope Dave and I will be together for a long, long time.
In case you were wondering, Cowboy feels no guilt or remorse over his lack of interest in house projects. He is quite content to be known as, "my checkbook handyman".
Cowboy is feeling the love for Dave too. When they met, Cowboy smiled, vigorously shook Dave's hand and said, "So, YOU are Linda's new husband! (Wish I had a picture of Dave's face....)
Dave only charged me $75. SWEET!
You have the perfect pair!
ReplyDeleteI bet MC does everything around your house! Lucky lady!
DeleteWe all need a "Dave" in our lives. Enjoy!!
ReplyDeleteWe have a "Terry" that mows the lawn for us - no riding mower here and a hubby who is not inclined. So we hired Terry and life has been a lot grander since then.
It has taken me YEARS to justify paying someone for help--with age comes wisdom!
DeleteLinda, I have several husbands.....I have one for just about every thing you could need in regards to the home.....I've even had to divorce one of them...my former electrical and do most anything but plumbing husband. In last count, I had 4 husbands and am still interviewing for a computer husband!!! Glad that my main husband doesn't mind and even is glad to support and pay those other 4 guys!!!
ReplyDeleteHmmmm....come to think of it, maybe I need more husbands.
DeleteMy real husband doesn't want to be bothered with any of this stuff, either. He is perfectly happy when I get someone else to do it. Since it will be faster that way, works for me too. I'm looking forward to a smaller yard when we move. We also have an acre...it is really a lot to keep it looking good.
ReplyDeleteLinda I still mourn you are leaving that BEAUTIFUL home you created. I know you will enjoy your new house and we will get to see you transform it!
DeleteFor the past two weeks I've been living with a house full of Dave's, including the one I am married to. With a bathroom renovation on-going, Dave's come and go at a regular pace. At one time five of them were all working in my rather small bathroom at the same time. My own dear Dave is not at all inclined toward destruction and re-construction, so thank goodness for the professional Dave's in my life who are taking a 1987 bathroom with cracked pink tile into 2013 complete with a granite vanity top so pretty I wanted to sleep on it last night!
ReplyDeleteI hate a house full of workers! They don't count as husbands but intruders. I know you bathroom will look AMAZING Karen. I'll have to post some before and after pictures.
DeleteYou almost got me there, Linda. I really thought Dave was your husband for a while! Haha! Anyway, it was a good decision to have your roof and skylights cleaned. Keep it up and you're sure to maintain a quality roof for a long time.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment Joanne. I see you work for a roofing company. That reminds me I need to write a post about the importance of roof maintenance for selling.
DeleteI want to marry Dave too
ReplyDeleteIf you lived closer Gina, I would share him with you. He has 2 other wives in my neighborhood.
Deletehahahah, very cute Linda..Love this. I need him here.He could make a fortune if all your blog friends lived closer!

My new husband stays so busy he barely has time for me :)
DeleteThe look on Dave's face when your husband told him he is your new husband would have been priceless. Haha! Anyway, it's truly nice to have someone reliable take care of things in the house. Keeping the gutters clean is essential for keeping the water away from the house. And in doing so, the roof will be secured from leaks and water damage as well. Also, I think it's thoughtful of him to cut down the tree that might threaten to damage your roof. Good work for Dave! Ashlee Starns
ReplyDeleteIt is indeed great to know that whenever problems in your roof and gutters shall arise, there is someone reliable you can call. Everyone needs a “Dave” who can cover all the work in one day and always deliver exquisite job. Good job!
