    Let the JONES begin!

    Just made a deal with my wife, I can use her credit card to buy a SWK Nightstalker (2006) Standard, if I tear up the living room carpet and replace it with tile. The order has been placed. I love this woman.

    Gee, if you did that floor job for honest pay you could buy a BUNCH of SWK Standards!

    I think that's great. Your wife gets something she wants, and you get a new SWK. If this is your first SWK, I think you will be very impressed. Jerry has a great product for the money, and excellent customer service. I have 5 SWKs, and when the 2006 model of the Black Stewart is available in my size, I will be ordering it.

    You should be able to get a 8-yard traditional for remodeling the kitchen.

    I am in the handyman line of work and you should have held out for a new heavy weight wool.
    but a deal is a deal and there are benifits. ;) let's see at $8 a sq. ft.=

    Just recieved an email from SWK, saying as soon as possible my kilt will be on its way. I should have it in three or four days. I would hold my breath, but I could not rip out the living room carpet if I did. My wife also added something to the deal. More husbandly "responsibility". Which I shall gladly follow through with. :-D :-D

    Having tiled my mother's patio over several weekends a few summers back & put down a laminate floor in my apartment as my landlord was too lazy/cheap to do it himself sounds like your wife is definately getting the better end of the deal...

    HOWEVER if it means getting a new kilt out of the deal I SAY GO FOR IT!!!
    ITS A KILT, G** D*** IT!

    Jones.......

    can we come up with another word for that feeling when you cant wait to get something, antisipation, etc. Jonesing has a huge drug addiction conotation. It just creeps me out..
    Ok it might be me being overly sensitive......LOL
