My cousin is trying, repeat, trying to do his own trimwork in his living room, - - starting with the window casings. He knows nothing about carpentry, - - but he 'tries'.
I already worked at his house all last week, - - free of charge, - - and refuse to do anymore, - - for a while, at least.
I gave him the complete explanation last week of installing the stool, the jamb extensions, the casing, the apron, and all that.
Here's the beginning of last night's 'real-life' phone call, - - and he's gettin mad because I'm L'ingMAO, - -
RING - - RING - - RING
TR - - "Hello"
CUZ - - "Hey, I got problems, - - I'm havin' trouble with my stool"
TR - - "Well, you better get right to the Doctor"
CUZ - - "No, seriously, - - you know the backside"?
TR - - "Yeah, - - but that's where your stool is supposed to come out"
CUZ - - "C'mon, man, - - is the underside of my stool supposed to be angled"?
TR - - "Well, it's a lot less painful if it's tapered".
CUZ - - "C'mon, man, - - seriously, - - I need help with this"
TR - - "Yeah, but I'm just a carpenter, - - you need a Doctor"
Think I gave him the 'hint'?!? :lol:
P.S. My last comment could have been, - - I don't deal with a$$holes, - - but that may have been a might too crude. :lol:
