A couple of people have called me and asked what I was doing this evening. I told them I was helping my friend build a toy-barn for his son (so he has a place for his menagerie). For some reason, some of you didn't believe me. I guess my quasi-defensive nature has forced me to provide proof. Besides, I always enjoy the opportunity for a pointless blog.
1/4" birch press-board - $8
Wood glue that's been sitting in the garage for 2 years - $2.59
PowerShot electric staple / nail gun that ended up to be defective when it was brought home - $19.99
Craftsman manual staple gun and staples - $16.99
Dremel - $39.99
6 pk. of Bud Light - $4.29
Band-Aids - $2.98
Trip to the emergency room - $350
Blood spilled - 4oz.
Labor - 3 hours x 2 idiots = 6 hours
Making a toy for great kid that you could have easily purchased for $20 in the matter of minutes but decided to venture the road less travelled - PRICELESS.
There are some things money can't buy. For everything else there's Mastercard. For anything not mentioned earlier, there's always 2 water-heads that sometimes wonder how they became such great friends and happen to live 100ft. away from each other - causing them to create more mischief than is socially acceptable.
P.S. - No idiots were harmed in the making of this barn.
