Do you ever forget how short some people are?

[Exterous]

I asked my wife to come help me with something in my never ending basement project.

Me (holding a piece of drywall above my head): "Ok just hold this piece of drywall here while I screw it into the ceiling."
She walks over, reaches up on her tip toes and can't reach what I am holding.
Me: "Oh...huh"
Her: "You'll need to get a step ladder."
Me: "Or a new wife."

This is when she staples your feet to the plywood right?

Go with the new wife thing. That frees up one more short woman, maybe one of the manlets can snag her so we don't have to listen to them whine all the time.

As an adult, I could count the times that's happened on one hand, and I'm more impressed than disappointed :^P

One of the most startling times was in a Mcdonalds. I turned around after placing my order, and was eye level with some guy's chest, and I'm 6'5" :^O It was a rewarding experience. I feel it gave me empathy for the lesser people of the world :^P

I'm 5'6" and I sometimes forget how short I am myself.

*See lady having trouble reaching something in store*
Me: "Hey I'll help you with tha... oh" *jumps to grab item*

Newest two pictures. Front stage to raise speakers to ear height (still needs a lot of sand):

Back riser so back row can easily see over the front row. Will plunge cut the T&G plywood for bass absorbers:

You know, if you had kids you wouldn't be able to construction shame us. :colbert;


Hey, if I send my kid to Hillsdale, can he crash at your place...for 4 years?

Or travel shame.

As for the kid - sure! My R&B rates are $30k per year and doesn't include food.

Bastard.


His height skills are pretty decent. Surely, that should rate a discount.

If you're going to put insulation on the floors I would put roxul instead of fiberglass in case you get moisture.

I sealed the floor with drylock and thats roofing felt underneath which is waterproof
