Ever have Lucille Ball or Tim Taylor Moment?
I guess there is a reason I live alone, no one gets to see the stupid moments. ops:
I was putting together the new Adirondack chairs (couldn't fit the assembled ones in the Civic) and apparently NOT paying attention. I evidently used the wrong size screws to attach the slats to the back because I wound up screwing the whole thing to my deck. :evil:

Here lies the problem....Not that you "screwed" up the assembly of your chairs. You need a full size carbon emitting, gas guzzling, Globel Warming causing.....Pickup. :wink:
May I suggest a Ford F450, dually.... Problem solved.

I learned a long time ago sometimes you just have to laugh at yourself! :lol: Glad you enjoyed it, so did my neighbor. I've lived here 3 years and watching this little fiasco he finally decided to come over and introduce himself and see if I needed any help. UUUHHH Nope! :evil:

Yes it was pretty funny! I'm still laughing about it. I did mke myself late for my Union meeting though. And about the Civic, right now I'm pretty pleased with getting 36 mpg, so I'll deal with not being able to haul home a pair of chairs. :wink:

one of my finer moments:
its three oclock in the morning and I decided that the leaking faucet in the bathroom needs to be fixed then because I can't sleep. (never worked on faucets before) I pop the cap off the cold water knob and see a screw. ok tighten screw and water will stop running. wrong! now its worse. ok loosen screw and see how this thing works. I look at my wife and say "i'm really not sure how this works" just then the knob pops off and water goes shooting everywhere ops: to make it worse the plumber who plumed the house had NO shut offs to any of the sink lines. only shut off was in basement. I now know that there is a little rubber seal inside a faucet that goes bad and that is why they leak. I also learned how to replace drywall and ceilings ops:

Ah, home repairs. I typically do all that in my house...I learn as I go if I don't know how to do it. One of my finer moments was just 2 weeks ago replacing a faucet in the downstair bathroom.
Imagine laying down with your head up inside the cabinet and right under the sink.
Imagine working with plumbers pliers (large and heavy) on a particularly difficult nut, right above your head.
Imagine the pliers slipping out of your hand.
Imagine gravity.

Your house is always a good place to do home repairs. After all, if you did them in your car, or at work, or at the beach, they really wouldn't be considered home repairs, now would they? :P
