One on my domestic duties is to make the bed, this morning when I was changing the sheets, she spotted me with the tape measure out measuring the amount of sheet overhang each side (15.5 inches) what relay finished her off was when I got the bevel gauge out (it had been pre set to 45 deg with the digital angel thinghyI have) to get the angle of the hospital tuck at the end of the bed spot on.
She thinks that I go overboard, but I reckon that a job needs to be done right am I wrong?
Phil obviously the cold miserable weather of Vic has taken its toll time for some shed work :D extream to say the least
or
were you a Non-com PIA in the services that could explain heaps
Phil, you either have to get out to the shed more often OR get HER to make the bed. :p :;
Sounds perfectly fine to me, what's her problem?
I hope you put a tension gauge on it, nothing worse than a saggy spot.
...the visions that went through my head just then...Quote:
tension gauge...saggy spot
...measuring the saggy spot with a gauge:compress:
:rotfl: :rofl:
Is it the only way you get to use your tools phil? :doh:
Might try the laser level :roflmao:Quote:

Phil, get a permanent textile marker and put dotted lines in appropiate places so you don't have to mess around with the tape measure everytime.
I just line up the skid marks on the sheet with the skid marks on the mattress. https://www.woodworkforums.com/pictur...pictureid=2659Quote:

Right, you've stepped over the line this time and made everyone wince. Teddy bears on the bed? Teddy bears in the house? https://www.woodworkforums.com/pictur...pictureid=2586
Men are walking away from their puters in droves, shaking their heads. :no:
:q :U
Next you will be telling us that there are 20 assorted cushions that have to be arranged geometrically.:wink::D
Grandson spotted them at it and of course he started asking dificult questions, refered him back to his mother. :DQuote:

:worthless:
Or maybe it could go into the education section :doh2:
I think you'll find you're the only one with teddies! Tea Lady - anything to offer?Quote:

Inappropriate in here.

Ooohhhhhh, I like that theory. And when the wife complains I can say I did my research carefully and somebody on the internet said it so it must be true. :DQuote:

You should see how tidy the workshop is even the chisel blades all face the same way hanging like solderers all to attention in a straight line on the shadow board, screw drivers are all neatly arranged in order of length and separated flat blades one end Philips the other end. :2tsup:Quote:

When I grew up in the Irish countryside, it was common to see bedding draped out of bedroom windows on sunny days, or even draped over pruned, dome-topped hedges.
There appears to be some ambiguity; one of the mods, our beloved leader, calls one of his products Shithot (funny, I previewed this post to see if the ####hot product name would be censored and guess what? It came up as Shithot!) A photo of another mod was depicted in a photo (today), sticking his two fingers up! Who posted the picture? Our beloved leader!Quote:

Don't get me worng, I don't object to either the Shithot finishing product, or the photo of ##### (far from it, the phot is every bit the mod and quite funny). I don't condone excessive use of profanity, but when used in moderation, or to reinforce a sentiment (or finishing product), then it's no longer profane and where's the harm? A relaxation of the rules, or a level playing field would be welcome.
As for a couple of teddies wearing leather and studs; try driving through the suburbs and being asked by a child to explain what Sexyland stores are all about! There's and debauchery all around us these days... and then there's inofensive fun. I for one am confused.
To remind everyone of the rules I and the Mods apply they go like this:Quote:

If the answer is no to either question then it is edited or deleted.
:think: Seems fair too me. :shrug: Sometimes I feel funny even if its only hubby looking over my shoulder. (imagine thought bubble over hubby's head) "exactly what does she get up to on the internet? "Quote:
