The Construction Chronicals, Part 3

And for my next performance, my shot to make it into David Letterman's "Top Ten" book:


"10 Strange Things JustPat Does When She's Remodeling"

10. Enters a "Rescue My Home Contest."

9. Lays hammer in obscure place - wastes 2 minutes looking for it.

8. Moves scrap lumber around the room 8 times a day, for no apparent reason.

7. Runs downstairs, leaves phone in attic.

6. Starts laundry while remodeling to multitask. Remembers wet load in washer three days later.

5. Brings phone downstairs from attic. Goes back to attic. Leaves phone downstairs.

4. Lays shop knife in obscure place - wastes 10 minutes looking for it.

3. Naively believes that plumbing is affordable.

2. Leaves spare drill battery in obscure place - lost forever.


And the strangest, for the anal retentive award:

1. Calculates the most economic insulation cuts for hours before actually hanging it.
