The lumber yard asked if I wanted it hoisted on the roof. I stupidly said "no, I can do that myself." I wondered why he gave me "that look".
The year before I started to replace our paver sidewalks with concrete. So, being so smart, I drove down to Lowe's about 15 miles away and loaded up 38 bags of 80# Ready Mix into my wife's Tahoe. It was close to closing so there was no one there to help me. Then, after driving home with the front wheels occasionally touching the road while moving
, unloaded it onto the tarp to save it for morning. I asked my son to help. Told him he would cut open the bags and dump them in the wheelbarrow a couple at a time. Then we'd add the water, mix and pour and I'd do the finish work. After the 6th bag, he was complaining how heavy they were
. Still haven't finished that job.First section done:
I find I sometimes do stupid things.
