I might not pour a foundation, but in that case it wouldn't have a floor.  (pole barn construction)

With pole buildings, you build first, pour later anyway.

I've cut this board twice, and it's still too short, dammit!

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

"I cut it off twice, and it's still too short," is one of those phrases my Dad is most likely to utter, whilst puttering/building/remodeling. Another one is, "If this doesn't work, I'll always think it should have," which seems to be the guiding principle of that shed-building enterprise, could it be said to have one.

The guy that built that "shed" also probably threw away half the nails in the box because the heads were on the wrong end, not realizing that those nails are for the other side of the building.  :lol:

I think, I think this guy doesn't have any power tools, so he is avoiding cutting anything. And using a lot of scrap lumber.

At first I thought it was an intentional joke. I'm still not sure. Surely, no one is that stupid and wasteful with money and thinks this was a good idea.

I’m not saying I invented the turtleneck. But I was the first person to realize its potential as a tactical garment. The tactical turtleneck! The… tactleneck!

Never underestimate the power (or depth) of human stupidity.
