I already built an 11x11 deck off of my back door.... 3 summers ago. It was a 2 day project with some help.
I recently got a letter from my insurance co. saying they are dropping me if i dont put up a railing. Well, I planned (for 3 yrs) on expanding the deck 8ft in both directions(its wedged in corner right now...between an addition and my home). SO, I decide I must do it now to avoid wasting time w/ a rail.
I only have 3 weeks, and in those 3 weeks, 3 days to do it, INCLUDING TODAY.
I got up at 7:30 am to find all tool rental places closed (need a post hole digger to dig 16 post holes). I found one open, but they didnt have any. So I decide I should goto Lowe's and get ALL the wood here so its here when I DO get a digger... Well, my van wont start. No problem, i just left the dome light on. got my battery jumper and its too weak to trun it over. So i go looking for the jumper cables....and.....nothing. the old lady took my car this morning so i could change her oil....and her jumpers are in my car for some reason i still dont know
so here i am, ready to put in a day's labor, and i cant do squat.
so i decide...f*$* the cables, i'll go buy more at the auto part store....i get there, closed! so i goto a napa...they are open...NO CABLES!!!
Is this an omen, or what? should i stay home and sulk?
