    When DIY Goes Wrong

    You had a project you wanted to do.  You thought you knew exactly what you were getting into.  You were pretty sure you could handle it.  You got started… and then found out just how little you knew.  And then you had to call for reinforcements.

    Tell us about it.  (Let the healing begin.)


    I was dreamin' when I wrote this, so forgive me if it goes astray...

    Re: When DIY Goes Wrong

    My friend's family own a cabin in the mountains of Pennsylvania. Before we all moved all over the country, every fall all of us would get together for "Men's weekend" -- a time to drink beer and do upkeep on the cvabin to prepare it for winter.

    One year, it was time to reshingle the roof. So all the "men" jumped on the roof and began hammering away. Someone, whose name shall go unpublished, unknowingly nailed his glove to the roof. When I, er he got up to move to the next spot. He leaned back, got caught up, pulled his hand out the glove, lunged backward and very nearly fell of the roof, in the style of Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation.

    Beer and roofing don't mix kids
