*whew* It's done!

We oughta be disallowed from doing 'projects' together.
Seriously!

I have one way of doing things--and get outta my way while I do it.
He's got a whole 'nother way of doing things......and his way is much more logical and will get the job done.
Yeah, yeah.....MY way gets the job done, too, dangit........ A STEAK KNIFE WILL CUT SOD!!!!!!!

THAT would be my gentle reminder of the last time I was set on 'proving' I could and would get the job done......MY way.
Silly thing to argue.....even sillier that I was hellbent on proving I was RIGHT!

We had five lights in the basement ceiling cuz I put them up whilest he was away in England. I didn't finish the job because of the position of one of the flourescent fixtures--I was pretty sure he didn't want it crashing into his train layout. LOL So, silly me--waited.

Silly him didn't wanna wait for me to help him remove that last fixture. And he did remove it--without damage to the layout I might add.
And then he decided we'd finish that area with more recessed lighting.
Okey dokey--sounds like a plan.

He felt bad because I'd done the whole project without any of his help.
I started thinking I'd not done a good enough job, for some reason. LOL I have messed up thinking and can make things all about MEMEME!

I decided the best recourse was to exit the area and let him do his thing. Heck, I work best that way.
He summized that I was upset/mad.
I summized he didn't need another hand or someone (like me!) critiquing or giving him 'helpful hints' since I'd done 5 of the lights already....and I know me and my propensity to pop off with my not so humble opinion.

We now have the entire ceiling finished in the trainroom. And it looks darn good.
No one was killed during the installation of the ceiling.
No animals were harmed.
LOL

It's all good.
Unless the house burns down cuz we wired something funky.
The good news is now he won't be able to blame me and me alone! *snicker* I'll slip the firemarshall fifty bucks to say he couldn't determine WHERE in the ceiling the fire started if need be.... :-)
