One out of N to the Nth...
Put in new carpeting for a tenant, she complained her front door wouldn't open Got two sawhorses and special measuring equipment over there, dismounted the door, carefully measured, marked, meantime chatting with the tenant, made my precision cut, went to re-mount the door....
Had cut the quarter inch off the top of the door. Dratshuckspoo. Had to remount the lockplates, hinges, and brain.
One plus one out of N to the Nth:
Wanted to install an outside hosecock in the old farmhouse. Did a great plumbing job... my father was a plumber and he'd have been proud of me. Discovered I had hooked the hosecock to the hot water line.
Terrible when the hot water melts a cheap hose. SsssPROOOOOSH!
Say, what's the plural of faux pas anyway?
I'm not signing this one either so nobody will know who posted it.
