I had big plans for us today, Internet. I was going to talk about addiction and having an addictive personality. My friend Jenn and I had a very early morning discussion about our love affair with food, and I was going to talk about how it is similar to smoking and drinking and drugs. But I'm not going to do that, Internet. No, the husband has given us a much greater gift. Something so glorious that I must share it with you. RIGHT. NOW.
A bit of back story, first. As you all know, Hurricane Ike ripped us a new one last month. Perhaps the biggest casualty on our property was the complete loss of our fence. Doesn't sound like a big deal, but finding someone to replace your fence for you right now is insanity. All the construction companies are out working on bigger things – like missing roofs and shifting foundations. Our piddley little fence is so not their priority. But because I might KILL my dogs if I have they don’t have a yard SOON to play in, the husband decided to go about rebuilding the fence himself.
Which brings us today. Apparently, he was using the ladder to help him balance one of the really long two-by-fours and he forgot to remove the ladder before he nailed the two-by-four to the fence post. Now there is a ladder straddling the property line between our yard and the neighbors and a two-by-four going right through it.
I give you, "Fence Construction Fail":
My coworker said, "It's not that he did that I find so bad because I would do the exact same kind of thing. What gets me is that he actually took a picture of it and sent it to you! Doesn't he know what you are going to do with it???"
Yes, he knows that I'm going to show it to the world. Its just too funny not to. And when I get through putting it on my Web site, I'm going to send it to various media. Because this? Is too good to just keep to ourselves here at MommaPug.com.
