This snippet is essentially how hundreds of thousands were taught - myself included. The only power tools being a corded drill and planer.
The expectation was, you should be able to hang eight doors in a day, excluding architraving. That includes cutting and assembling the jambs, packing and fixing them squarely into the opening (whether brick or wood), fitting and hanging the door, and fitting the lockset. If a door was slightly warped or twisted, you humoured it - not threw away. Clearance at the top was set with a pair of 20¢ coins. |

Deffinately not the worst problem to have. But weekdays ever since my son got his big fish tank, from 3pm to 10pm its machine gun messages of everything tropical freshwater fish, and tank related stuff. Weekends its 7am to midnight, with usually a window. This weekend there was a 3 hour window yesterday, and im almost at the end of a 3 hour window today. Thats because he's at work.
As a parent im very happy that a fish tank is what he is into. Way better then ice or herogroin that where he lives others are really into, and the improper ways people go about 'supporting' that. Man, he is a good young fellow. |

When picking up a pallet of wine today (NO, I don't drink) I saw these cute little fluffies. That made me feel good today.
Crap quality.. shot through the windscreen of the truck... at 4 O'clock, so glare was an issue, but you get the idea. One Man

Haven't been in a good headspace recently. Been trying to see it through, but went and saw the GP today, who put some plans into action. Didn't walk out feeling top of the world, but there was suddenly a feeling that things were going to get better.

Haggled the dentist, $5500 quote became $4800 if paid upfront.

It's over for another year.........................
The last tree went into a pot yesterday at 11.30am, the last tree lifted into stock 4.15pm today. For context, we are talking about 2000+ trees here. My joints and back are aching, so tired I slept through my alarm this morning. So yes, I feel good about having this behind me, but my mind and body aren't feeling good. Only another 10 months and I'll be doing it all again.

Listening to the isolated bassline for Staying Alive. It’s so economical, yet so efficient an underpinning for an iconic tune that at once mixed together braggadocio, make-believe and the basic appeal of happy emotions.
