I thought tonight I was finally going to fini***he bench work for my around the room layout, after much delay, 2 hurricanes [temp. lost my job after the first one] tonight was going to be it. But as luck would have I ran out of wood screws and ran short of 1"X4"s by 57 ". The good news is my boss gave us Monday off. He’s going to the Miami / Cleveland game tonight.
Welcome to the Wonderful World of Benchwork, Willst. I was ALWAYS running out of wood-screws when I built mine, the guys at Home Depot thought I was building a subdivision, the amount of time I spent running down there for more. It seems no matter how well we plan, we’re always short something–screws or lumber. When I finished, finally, I had a whole bunch of 1x2’s left over, my neighbor asked me what I was going to do with them, I told him “Hoard the suckers, in case I get another itch!” They’re still leaning against the garage wall four years later–hey, I may need to add onto that Holding Yard, right?
Have fun.
Tom
fter reading the thread title, I have one question. Do you call your boss chief?[:D]
I’ll bet he takes calls on his shoe…
