Tell me when you complete the job. As for me, I still haven`t been able to figure out how to locate the studs behind the drywall for hammering a nail.

You know what, this one brings back all episodes of Home Improvement to me. Infact, its almost as if Tim Allen himself did the writing! I mean, i totally enjoyed the sarcasm!! And i can spot a well researched Tool Time background. Are those gadgets for real??!

So, most men harbour the same weakness!
The two most important men in my life - my father and husband have an amazing collection of tools confined to two huge metal boxes stored in the corner of the store rooms in their respective homes.
My mother and I would not have them anywhere nearer!
But the title, `The Father of All Tool Collectors` should go to my pa in law. Barring a crane, I think if you ask him, he will have it!
Must admit though, the sight of my man, on the floor, meaning business, full of concentration, all sweating, with kiddos running around as helping hands, does offer a sight!

This is funny.

I have been researching woodworking and a complete DIY workshop myself the past couple of months and your article strikes home :)

sub:

… like you i used to laugh off this advise before the accident…keep her happy, agree with her and her mom, listen to her sprinkled with sweet yes-dears and … luckily over there home renovations were not the domain of husbands…orders were given…work was assigned…

how times have changed;)

…home work then meant copying in long hand the chapter on verb intransitive from wren and martin three times…the assignment smilingly delivered by miss val d’ramo to the three names she’d read on the black board…the black board!…due the next day or more penance…now that was some home work!

rgds,

t
