Carpentergirl's tricks of the construction trade

The brain behind the master craftsman...



When I was a foreman, the guys at my old job thought I brought the blueprints home to study them! They had no idea how wrong they were. I was busy napping in the late afternoon; letting Cupcake read them and decipher the measurements and layout. I would have her explain them to me after she did all the math. My layout was always pristine, although I had trouble explaining all the cat scratch scribbling in the margins.

Later tonight:
An intriguing discussion on more possible ways to accidentally carve yourself up with power tools। Perhaps a lighter topic on ways to get out of doing any work at all... detailing my all time favorite trick of hiding out in the portable potty.
This morning:
It is looking like this conversation will be stalled by a huge loss of regular sleep. Five broken hours doesn't make any of my jokes funny, just sad.

My cat used to be the absolute opposite of your Cupcake. When cramming for exams he would perform me a whole show mostly consisting of strectching, yawning and going back to sleep, with the most smug expression on his face as if he was thinking "serves you right, miserable human being"
