(I couldn't think of a word to put there, but I was looking for the opposite word of modesty!! LOL!!). Hey, this does sound like a wonderful course, and I'm sure it will come in so handy around your home. You'll be able to then write a little book, using all the tips that you have learnt! Oh, and yes, of course I think you can do it. I have every faith in you my friend!

Howe...I completely agree about life-long learning. However, I've also learned, in 19 years of marriage, and the first 4 of them with our house "in progress", that the following math equations are pretty darn accurate:<br /><br />"Rewiring the house will take AT MOST a week" (FYI, a 1925 house where you had to choose your kitchen appliance well, or use the extension cord to the "den". As in, do I want toast, or the fridge to keep things cold.) 1 week = summer of '93.<br /><br />"I can have that bathroom put in over the weekend." I washed my face and brushed my teeth in the kitchen for A YEAR. 1 weekend = 1 year.<br /><br />Ok, starting to get a bit twitchy here. Perhaps this topic is better suited to a blog post rather than cluttering up your comments with someone else's story...<br /><br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-68696673509021884002012-01-09T22:01:59.201-08:002012-01-09T22:01:59.201-08:00That is always a good thing to do :) Education is ...That is always a good thing to do :) Education is the one thing that can't be taken away from you!BragonDornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13327193036434280792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9889100.post-63314095725888101542012-01-09T21:33:38.399-08:002012-01-09T21:33:38.399-08:00the course sounds awesome!

Once upon a time, I actually helped my husband and a few of his friends build an entire house (for someone else.) I learned so much and truly enjoyed the experience. <br /><br />I enjoyed college and would like to go back and take some art classes once my son starts school. Creativity is something I never made time for in my younger days but I'd like to now. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy your class. Life truly is a never ending education. I don't think you need a modesty course.
