Here's chapter three! The girls finally meet the delectable Ty Pennington ^_^.
Mac had finished painting the trim when Frank came in and asked if they were free to work on some other projects.
"Harm you're coming with me. I have a sewing project for you," Frank said smiling. Harm just rolled his eyes.
"And Mac you're going to be working with Ty on the China cabinet and buffet table."
Harm noticed the way his wife's eyes lit up. He wasn't jealous; he knew how much his wife loved him. I mean he was a guy and he still had to admit that Ty was good looking.
"Let's get to it team!"
"Okay Harm here's what were doing," Frank said as he sat down in front of the sewing machine.
"First were sewing the fabric for these Roman Shades." Frank showed Harm what to do as he got started on the chair cushions.
Mac made her way out to Ty.
"Hey Ty. Frank sent me out here to work on the china cabinet"; Mac said surveying the wood on the ground.
"Think you can handle a nail gun?" Ty asked.
"A nail gun? That's a piece of cake, I'm a Marine!" she said seriously. Ty just laughed. He gave her the tool and she began stapling the sides together. Once that was done she was shown how to cut the molding that was going to go on the top.
"You're doing great," Ty said admiring her work. She really knew her stuff.
"Thanks. My husband seems to think he's the only one who knows how to use a power tool. Being a marine and having six kids can teach you how to be pretty handy," Mac said as she cut the last of the molding.
Once Mac was done Ty brought the cabinet to the backyard where it would be painted while Mac went go check on Harm.
When she got to the Roberts living room the site before made her want to laugh. There were Harm and Frank knee deep in fabrics and a sewing machine. Harm was humming along as he stitched one side of the Roman Shade.
"Hey Harm," Mac said getting his attention. "You never told me that Martha Stewart moved in next door," Mac said smiling.
"You're just jealous Mac. Because I got to do the fun stuff. You should see this machine in action. Man can it fly."
Mac couldn't help herself. She doubled over laughing. Seeing her 6' plus husband hunched over with a sewing machine and actually enjoying it was definitely a site.
'Wait till Trish sees this,' Mac thought.
"Well you guys have fun with that. I'm going to start painting the china cabinet," Mac said still laughing.
Bud was doing some last minute paint touch ups while Harriet went outside to consult with Ty on the entertainment center he was building. Harriet was giddy as she walked outside.
She was meeting Ty!!
She had seen him earlier walking around in faded jeans and a t-shirt that fit his frame perfectly. Now when she got outside she was delighted to see that he'd lost the shirt. It happened to be nearly a hundred degrees out.
"So Laurie sent me out here to check on the entertainment center."
"Well it's almost done. In the meantime if you want to help you can start by sanding down these edges," Ty said handing her the sander.
Harriet (who couldn't stop smiling) was sanding while Bud had begun to iron the fabrics they would using for the couch.
"Okay Bud once you're done with that one we can work on the pillow fabrics," Laurie said as she started to sew one of the slipcovers.
Once the slipcovers had been sewed and the entertainment center had been sanded it was time for…HOMEWORK!
The next chapter will be the HW assignments ^_^. Let me what you think.
