This forum sure is dead lately. I thought we could liven it up by telling on our selves.
I was drilling the last cabinet door for pulls this weekend when my drill stuck. Then I realized I had drilled the wrong side of the door and was drilling through a hinge. :oops: My wife was there too. I had to try to explain what I did and why. She had just found the box of drywall screws that I couldn't find which made it double bad for me. Fortunately, I can fix it by relocating the hinges; if I can find my arbor to drill the recesses.

Luckily it wasn't my crew. I had hired a new floor company to quickly finish a flip so we could get it on the market before Thanksgiving. I had stopped in several times to see their progress and workmanship. As I was arriving to the property the crew was leaving except one worker who was staying behind to put the final coat of clear on the floors. I left for lunch and returned about an hour later. As I looked in the front door it was evident that the moron was painting himself into a corner with no way out. If we did not have a time deadline I would have thought it was very humerous. I took a picture of him working and texted it to his boss. The worker was oblivious of his looming problem until his back hit the wall 30 seconds later.
