R's basement project

My sweet husband has been working for months on finishing our basement. He works almost every night on something. He is now priming the walls, which is quite far considering he drywalled, mudded, did the wiring, etc. already. His parents can't believe that we aren't always down there working our fingers to the bone to get this project done. Hello, can you say two year old?!!! We have priorities and sometimes he just doesn't get down there until after 7:00 because we don't see M all day and really want to play, eat, read, etc. with her before bedtime. As you know, I'm not much of a fixer up kind of person. I'm not much help when it comes to physically, manually doing something. I would prefer to take out a loan and hire it done. R feels this way too, but his parents have kind of put the pressure on him to do it himself. He's good at it, but this would have been finished weeks ago if someone else had been here to do the work. It's not even that it isn't finished. It will get done, but they ask him every day what he has done. GIVE HIM A BREAK!! He works hard all day and just wants to spend time with us, not in the basement.

Another thing is that our cat, Kazzy, decided long ago that she didn't want to poop in the litter. She goes on the basement floor. R said he could set his watch to her butt. In other words, she's pretty regular. It doesn't matter how much we clean, she poops on the floor. If she craps on the the new carpet, she will need to find a new home. Any takers?
