Being out-manned can be a humbling experience, but you'd be even more out-manned if you don't accept the initial out-manning, swallow your pride and take some instruction from The Jim. Doing so will more than adequately re-man you.
Coach screws bro, concrete and fucking bandsaws...That's where it's at! Soon you'll be re-manned and will be well-placed to out-man many and diverse fellows who cannot hold a candle to your re-manliness. Then they can become re-manned and then out-man in turn. It's a man-cycle.
Lol, I am taking so much of his lead I have literally turned into a labourer for his Foreman of the ejob. I am hopeless at this stuff.
The next deck I build, I tell you. Iwill be more prepared than ever! This can be my learning deck!
Man-Cycle, love it :OD
I hope he's doing it for some grated cheese and chutney sarnies and a brew...That there's no invoice coming. Lol.
One thing I've always been happy to do is learn; Being so hubris-loaded and prideful that one fails to take instruction from one more skilled is limiting. It's like when I instruct shooters...There's some who will take it well, often the girls, and those who say, fuck you I know what I'm doing. Erm yeah bro, clearly not.
It's really cool that he's over to help...Just don't let him swipe The Precious (hammer.)
The Precious dont take kindly to being swiped!
He never even asked for money for the cement. He had some in his shed but went away this morning and got another 8 fucking bags. 8!!! I mean, I wonder if he thinks we are building a house?!
He is a godsend though, I think If it wasn't for him I might have had to pay someone to come in and what with COVID there would be no chance of that All the tradesfolk are busy busy busy as we tried to et someone in to do sone work in one of the bedrooms and they were all like, yeah Maybe October... Basts!
There's good people in the world Boomdawg, this proves it. They're rare of course, most people are assholes, or selfish, egotistical, greedy and so on. Your neighbour seems like a good one.
Tradies are hard to get here too. They either don't want to work or are simply too busy. Prices are high too; Thanks covid and governement-stimulus money. The new normal I guess.
There are some about, I am thankful for my neighbours they are good sorts. My old place had fucking horrible neighbours. Messy manky intrusive bastards. I was glad to get away from that.
In a way it is almost a good thing as I have had to force myself to do loads of things I would normally get a dude in to do!
Nothing worse than bad neighbours.
Bad work Colleagues comes pretty close
