Thread: replacing old floorboards ... a very proud fletty

You should be proud of them too. Being able to want to do the job themselves is a plus in itself.
My eldest daughter moved into town with her boy friend. 26 years old, no license (no interest in cars at all????) He plays on the TV every spare minute, smokes and drinks until there is no more to drink and turns into a politician. And knows how to get Australia moving! He has only had a few jobs in his working life and would like to be on the dole permanently. ( Love must be bloody blind) The house they moved into was renovated and is in good nick(my daughter does a good job of it)
The yard is really small, maybe 30 square meters. I got him a push mower. You know the one you stand behind and push (no motor) I said to him that it would be hard for the first time but the trick is to do it every couple of days and it will be easy. Yeh right. Went to visit. He is in front of the TV playing a game. What about the grass, says me. He says in horror, its my day off. OK when do you cut grass?
Fletty you have a couple of good kids there.
I don't like lazy people!!!

My (ex) brother-in-law was that very same guy!!!
My dad (an old man) but a giant just the same, got so upset with him in all areas of his family management, wife (my sister), kids, house, yard, extended family, work, bills etc etc he punched him!
It only took three more year after that for my sisters love goggles to become clear enough to leave.

Well done J and Fletty

Now you know the tools are in good hands Fletty just that they are the ones your going to need yourself don't you..............this is ok though allows for more purchases of same tool in emergency.

So all that time sat on the end of Dads workbench, watching, paid off.

Send them our congratulations for a job well done.

Apologies to Fletty getting daughters mixed up. Apology to J and to E who really did the hard yakka.
