If I had a hammer....
I would take it AWAY from Husband, because HE CANNOT BE TRUSTED WITH IT.
..
What is it with men and demolition jobs? Picture the scene: loud crashed and bangs as Husband reduces the hapless kitchen cabinetry to sheets of broken chipboard. Watching his energy and dedication, I am moved to speak...
"Uh, darling?"
He rips a door off its hinges. "Uh-huh?" He picks up the hammer again.
"How are you going to put that door back on again?"
BANG! CRASH! "What?"
"That door. Back on again. How?"
Picks up a really big screwdriver in one hand, hefts the hammer in the other, and grins maniacally. "Why would I want to put it back on again?"
"Because that's the cupboard we were going to keep for the utility room."
"Ah." Prods at splintered casing with screwdriver. "BLAST!"*
Nine hours later, the kitchen is no more, and we've even stripped the wallpaper. For the next two weeks I'll be cooking on a camping stove and in a microwave.
Did I mention I hate microwaves?
* Ever watched Family Guy? Husband and I have taken to shouting, "Blast!" like Stewie at every suitable opportunity.

Salads and barbecues.
I enjoyed that picture very much, thank you. I can fully imagine the manic action going on.
And here I was thinking that your DH had the hammer in his hand in order to nail up a blue plaque on the house wall!
Who woudl have thought that behind the mild-mannered, home-loving, cat-feeding, Zulu-watching facade there in fact lurked
Hammer Man!
I look forward to seeing the results of all this insanity very soon
An electric skillet will expand your gourmet repetoire considerably during your time of need.
Also, don't forget a big First Aid kit. Dh dropped a tile saw on his toe a few weeks back and -- fortunately -- only broke the toenail, but not the toe. That's in addition to the blisters, cuts, scrapes, bruises and very sore muscles.
Still, I think they consider them wounds honorably won in battle. *gg*
When my dh demolish our kithcen -- 3 weeks before Christmas, he managed to mess up his wrist. Tell hammer man to take care.
It can be very theraputic -- demolishing kitchen cabinets.
Husband:- "Yay! Hammer Man!"
He's so easily pleased....
{{{Anna}}} When it's done, it's going to be so pretty!
Thank you, thank you... Husband informs me that the kitchen was delivered this morning. The builders are here, have ripped out a whole load of plaster, and are working hard.
Holding on to the pretty thought, Mary Beth!
