Thread: try to correct you

So my wife wanted me to hang a door. Its not enough to just take a door and build a frame. Oh no thats to fucking easy. Whoever built this house is retarded. Who builds a 49 in opening? You have any idea how expensive 49 inch doors are?

So me being a cheap ass buys 2 24 inch doors and makes a set of french doors. Everything is going along as expected until she walks up. She being the wife. Right off the bat she starts with wouldn't it be easier to buy a tool to do the hinges?

Well yeah it would be easier but in 39 years i've hung now 3 doors. So buying a tool to recess 4 hinges seems stupid. So i go to hang the doors and she sits there watching and correcting me on how to hang the fucking door. You know i built the fucking frame, recessed all the hinges, cut and installed the door handle and associated parts, and trimmed the doors to fit.

Now all i have to do is put 6 screws in each door and the doors are done and she becomes the expert? How the fuck does that work? Oh i cant wait until i'm installing the new water pipe in from the meter to the house next weekend. Someone have a bullet i can borrow?

Been there thats a whole form of irritation. At least i can see her coming.

The only chizzels i have are cold chizzels for knocking metal apart. As such they are to big and bulky to do any kind of wood working. I did see a tool for doing the hinges or i could have bought a bit for my rotor. I opted to use a hammer and thin flat blade screw driver.
