S is installing a new kitchen counter at home today. When his Dad heard, he got all excited and said, "I can help!... I have tools!... I'll take a day off!..." He's built 2 homes from scratch before, he's the handiest man I personally know. But he's also in his 70s so we don't want him moving heavy stuff or doing hard work. We told him thanks but it's okay.
But what do you know, bright and early in the morning, *ding dong*. It's S's Dad, pumped and ready to work!
He also looked in our patio and saw wood beams to replace the current ones. "I can do this, too!"
I hope no one gets hurt. But I'm so touched that he's so excited and happy to help us.
I never thought I'd ever say this but "I can't wait to wash dishes again!"

You have a super father in law! Take pictures of your new counter!

oooh. my mom got like granite counters, but she's too lazy to take care of them.. dont you have to like polish them or something..
Yea, S's dad is pretty awesome, huh? Do you still have my number or e-mail? Can you give it to Ann? I know she called me a couple of years ago, but I didn't catch her number.
Ooh! That's so cool!
My dad always volunteer too...sometimes I wonder if it's a good thing. I guess I should be grateful that he's willing to help out.
