Bull's Eye

Clever husband decided to build a new cabinet for our back porch. Hurray. The plan was to build a box, hang it on the wall, add a couple of doors and presto you have a cabinet!

All was well until he got the box built. Did I mention you could hide a gorilla in this thing. Oh yeah, it's HEAVY too. How were we going to move said humongous box onto the back porch and into position on the wall? Hmmm

Clever husband sheepishly asked if I could pick up giganta box with him, maneuver it through the backdoor and up on the brackets. Sure, I think. As we were moving it into place I leaned on the washing machine control panel. No big deal EXCEPT the lights didn't come on. On closer inspection we realized there was no power. Great.

Out came the reciprocating saw (you've got to love this tool). After cutting 3 holes in the wall in search of the electrical wires clever husband (who didn't feel all that clever at this point) realized he had to access the electrical from outside. Of course it was raining.

Three days and half an inch of rain later he pulled 4 panels of the sidings off the house, gingerly folded back the tar paper and whipped out the handy dandy reciprocal saw again. This time he cut a significant hole in the sheathing. When he opened the wall he exclaimed, "I really nailed that sucker!" Yes, yes you did.
