How long does it take to hang a picture?
Three years, evidently.
I've been wanting... planning... intending, to hang this picture on this wall since I moved here. But the picture frame had 'teeth', not a wire. And right in the middle of this wall space is the fuse box -- which sticks out from the wall. And so a wired frame is required to hang something there, not teeth. A simple adjustment to wire the frame, right? And I've had ALL the supplies to do it.
Plus, it's an excuse to use the power drill.
And any reason to use the power drill about the house is usually a good thing, in my book.
So. Time it took to actually get it done?
Uh, three years.
So, what household projects have you had laying around for simply ages? Go ahead - confess share one... I'm sure it will make me feel a teensy-bit better about having taken three years to do a 5 minute job. LOL!
Wow I love that picture! Um, how many projects - well for starters I was supposed to paint our office 6 years ago - does that count? I'm hoping J. will hire someone eventually.

5 years ago I bought paint to paint my family room and our master bedroom. The family room got painted but our bedroom never did. The paint is still sitting in my closet. Maybe after the holidays :-)

In the vein of pictures to be hung on the wall, YEARS ago I decided to put 8x10 pix of my two kids on the wall upstairs. Got kid #1 up. Kid #3 arrived. Finally bought frames for kids 2 & 3, then finally got the pictures in the frames. But they are still sitting in the hall upstairs, not on the wall yet. And now I have a new picture of kid #2 and kid #3 doesn't look like his picture anymore... It is a moving target.
Hey, if I wait long enough, I can switch to putting my grandkids' pictures on the wall!!!
