    Default Garden Walkway

    My plan was to build a garden walkway, made up of dozens of wooden squares.

    I decided I'd slice railroad sleepers into two-inch-thick pieces for the sections.

    That's what I told the clerk at the Big Green Shed.

    "You got a power saw?" he asked.

    "No," I said. "Can't I just use my hand saw?"

    He nodded slowly. "You could. But I just have one question. How old
    do you want to be when you finish?"

    Just make sure you remove all metal first including the rail(s).

    Just to confuse him you could have said that constant use of
    a power saw makes your hand saw. (Deliberate misspelling).

    funny in another way.

    the Green shed doesn't carry timber framing saws ...
