You know you're a Redneck (or remodeling a house) when...

You have a toilet and a bathroom sink in your yard, and they just happen to be purple;

You are using towels as drapes on your windows;

You have more broken windows than whole windows (don't worry we are getting new ones in about a week);

Your baby's favorite toy is a tube of caulk and he cries when you take it away from him;

You have more of you furniture out on your porch than in the house (not true now, but for about a month it was);

You've let your baby play with semi-dangerous objects (ie. hammers, nail guns, electrical cords, boxes of nails) because it keeps him happy;

You have to keep a bucket of water in the bathroom in order to flush the toilet (we had to do this for awhile and euphemistically told each other we were going to "dump the bucket");

Everything you own is covered in a fine layer of dust;

You perpetually have paint under your finger nails, and at church realize you still have paint in your hair-- and it's green;

Your baby has to sleep in the bathtub because his pack-n-play is too dusty and his crib is packed away (it was only for about a week-- he has his crib back now!);
