3. Here's some...
cold lemonade for you.

When your project for today is completed, the beer gods say that you may drink many beers.

4. I usually....
dork something else up terribly in the process of fixing another thing. That is my theory on why you see so many angry looking men in Home Depot every Saturday.

5. Absolutely not. If it ain't one damn thing, it's another damn thing.
Sometimes I wonder if renting wouldn't be better.

7. And all the directions are translated from Chinese.
So nothing makes sense, is backwards and the screws and nuts are "metric" so they fit absolutely nothing.

And then someone always loses an eye.

8. Some home improvement company (I forget which one) used to say...

10. No.
The house owns you, you don't own the house.
