The Weekend

Spent the weekend taking down Xmas decorations. Figured out it was
easier using a chainsaw on a 10' Xmas tree to get it out the door as
it was netted coming in the door. It's alright, it was an electric
chainsaw. Waited till the bride and daughter had left the house for a
"tea party" and plugged that sucker in. Soon found out that chainsaws
and drywall don't get along.
For the handymen in the crowd, why do they put wiring and plumbing in
the walls right behind the best place to set a Christmas tree?
Reminder, circuit breakers will pop when you step in water that is
running over a cut wire. Also blew up the shop vac and my belt buckle
flew off and impaled itself in the wiff's new curio cabinet. Now I've
got to cut some glass for the cabinet and glue that little hummel guy
back together.
Got the water stopped with a wine cork after turning it off
downstairs. Put a wire nut on both ends of the wire. Guess the
upstairs will just be a storage room now with no power.
Put the wiff's quilt rack in front of the wall. The hole and bulge
only shows a little bit at the top. Drywall kinda slumped when the
wall filled with water. Used the crockpot to brace the nice tile on
the wall in the kitchen on the other side. Wiff never uses that so
she'll not notice.
Wiff came home and never saw it. Crap, she wants to start to make pot
roast in the crockpot in the morning. I left the house and the new
architectural interest point at 0430 for work.

Good lord, Frank, if you make this stuff up you're a creative genius, if
it's true, you're one scary dude that should avoid all tools, period, no
exceptions G

I can imagine the level of disaster just waiting to happen. I might be
easier to just hire someone to build a second house, and wait for this
one to totally destruct out from under him....

I have a brother (still :-) with a well deserved reputation for doing
the sorts of things you describe, Frank.
Though I don't think he has taken it to quite the levels you have. :-)
