  3. Take a machete to the hill in the backyard
  4. Repaint base boards in the house.

• A person has GOT to know his limitations. 
   My wife wanted a tile kitchen floor, so I put one in.  I did lots of research, talked with buddies who had done floors or were doing floors, and I mapped out my project (scope, schedule, budget).  I also had some flex to work with; a borrowed tile saw with no time limit, and work arounds until the floor was done (eat out!).  What I thought would take 4 to 5 days, took 3 WEEKS!
  When I was done, my wife wanted to tile the bathroom.  I found a friend who was a professional tile man, and paid the money for HIM to do the job!  Like I said, a person has got to know his limitations.
  My next job; have someone else replace some windows!

• When my check gets here I have to finish my Kitchen,
  I had a friend of mine tell me she is never surprised if a wall has been tore down or some kinda construction is going on when she visits... and she has been visiting me on and off for 10 years!!
  
  Guess I like to keep changin crap, or maybe I just like doing construction work.... Since I have no wife it could be the fact that if I want to take a wall out, no one can complain!!
