I could definitely see myself fucking up the first couple of rows, getting mad and quitting. No way I'd get that far into it though.

I think it's time to build a small patio in my back yard. This project doesn't seem too challenging for my skill level. Anyone do anything similar to this recently? Ruddo?

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It was 100% worth it. I smile every time I walk past my perfectly organized garden tools.

Electrician here today. 10 can lights, new/relocated fixtures in kitchen and dining room, couple new receptacles so I can finally plug in my record player where I want it, dimmer switches everywhere.

He sounds like a giant rat crawling around the attic.

This was a bust. Apparently our ceilings and walls are made of some weird concrete board that dulled his blades and wrecked his drill. Round 2 next week.

What does it mean to wake up in the middle of the night and smell plastic? Not burning, more like a nail polish smell.

My wife smelled it too so I'm not having a stroke (or we're having a conjugal stroke)
