Remodeling ‘Uh-Oh’ Moments


“Is there a problem over there? Ford asked as he led the way to the kitchen.

Something about the hot water heater, 

a protracted debate over drawers versus doors on some sort of cabinetry

“Take a cavernous basement and remodel it into a MEA? That‟s Manly Entertainment Area, to you civilians,” Jack explained as interest lit in his smoky eyes. “I can do that.”
