Fun with power tools
Dad, this reminds me of another incident involving a powered lawn tool. You were trimming the hedges at Stacey's house and cut through the extension cord not once but twice. You also tried to replace the plug end on a two foot piece of extension cord but that is a different story. I was not there when you did this but had to take advantage of the situation when I heard you in front of the house trimming the hedge and saw the extension cord plugged into the outlet in the garage. So I unplugged the extension cord. The words that were shouted from the front of the house cannot be repeated here but they were quite colorful. After you figured you had not cut through the cord a third time you came into the garage and discovered me holding the unplugged cord. I had to relish one of the few times I pulled one over on you.

Under Dennis's the "Contractor" direction we attempted to install vinyl flooring on a carpeted floor. Yes that is correct. We were wanting to establish a cushioned floor effect......something that even predated Arnstrong floorin sone ten years.
To this day in Tifton there stands a willow tree whose roots have hidden the evidence of this rather embarassing testimoney to "This Old House" gone wrong. RR
