My Husbands

I've decided that this whole remodeling project is like an arranged marriage. Your choice of husbands is dependent on who you know, how much money you or your family has, and the ability and desire of all parties involved to make a deal. As the project goes on you must learn to love your match or the marriage will end with you and your project in ruins.
In the light I have started calling the men who come each day to pound, and cut and hopefully build, my husbands. So far I have only had two husbands, but today I had five. It has given me a bit more respect, if not pity for the sheiks who have a harem to maintain.
My husband James is a light-hearted guy. He's smart, but a bit absent minded, he looses phones by leaving them on top of his truck, and is the man I hear saying "Oh wait...I see a problem." after a cut has been made. He is also an electrician and a total wiz with wires. He is kind and funny, and easy to be around.
Dmetrey is one of my Russian husbands. He is a hard worker and can destroy a wall so quickly it is frightening. His English is the best of my Russian husbands. He is very handsome and cautious in his work.
Anatoly is my other Russian husband. He is quiet and hard working. He understands most of what he hears, but he is cautious about speaking English. He will urge Dmetrey to ask rather than say anything himself.
Bill and Brennan are my typical American husbands. They work hard and play hard and are smarter than anyone would think. Bill, Brennan and Anatoly are the mules of the group and are the ones doing most of the rough manual labor.
I try to keep my husbands happy. I buy them drinks and snacks and keep out of their way. In turn, they try to keep me happy by picking up after themselves and working hard. We are working together to keep our marriage together and are learning to love each other.
