Ever wonder why a man always fails to take the extra minute to read the directions? How about why said man scratches his head trying to figure out what he did wrong BECAUSE he didn't read said directions? Let me just say that our little deck project is turning in to a nightmare because said man is NOT reading the FULL instructions.
We are building a deck to attach our pool to our current deck. Not TOO complicated, but it involves angles and other stuff. When we started, I pulled a "man" and couldn't find the instructions so we cut the boards the wrong size for 3 out of the 4 sections and had to recut them. Luckily they were too LONG so we could just cut them shorter. :) Well today, he was laying blocks for the posts and he layed them all out nice and pretty and level. He then set guts on top of the blocks to make sure the blocks were layed out the right way. Everytime he set the guts on top of the leveled blocks, the guts wouldn't connect, he'd have to relevel them and he just couldn't figure out why! So, I went and got the directions...what a damn good concept...and read them. Right there, plain and simple, it says to lay out 4 blocks, level them, put up posts, level them, cut posts, attach guts and continue with the next section! DUH!!! No wonder the sections weren't lining up! Your dumb ass wasn't reading the directions!
Lesson of the day: Directions are good for the man-soul! READ THEM FIRST!!!
TTFN,
