chesutoWhat I have learned from working with my dad today to build a porch:
- A man (at least my dad) can smash the hell out of his thumb with a hammer and just shake it off. I, on the other hand, curse like a motherfucker.
- "Always look down when you're building something. Something will trip you, but nothing will fall on your head."
FIVE MINUTES LATER
- "....if the porch starts coming down run like hell. THIS NAIL MAY BE THE ONLY THING HOLDING IT UP AND IMMA GONNA PULL IT NOW 8D"
- Always take the ladder your dad is standing on instead of the spare ladder.
- Punch dad in the face when you're freaked out to go on the second rung and he's all like. Walking with the ladder to be a show off. Ass.
- Sawdust will find you no matter where you go.
- Your dad will laugh at you every time you trip.
- I trip often.
- Why is a triangle shaped thing called a square???
- Using a magnet on a string to pick up nails is the most fun thing ever.
