So I've been fixing up the baseboards in my house. There are a lot of them that are pretty messed up, having been removed and nailed back on due to floor work.
Anyway, I had to run to Lowe's this weekend to get one more piece of trim. I picked it out, carried it over to the saw, and went looking for a helpful associate.
"No sir, the saw is down"
"No, we can't use any of the circular saws in the store"
"No, we can't use a handsaw either"
"No, you can't bring your own saw"
Well, crap. There's no fitting a 16-foot board into my car.
As I left, something shiny glinted from the corner of my eye: an electrical plug cover just by the door. A plan quickly formed itself. I'd go get my circular saw and a couple of cinder blocks, buy the long piece of trim and cut it up just outside the door like a parking lot ninja.
"I'd better check the plug to make sure it's right," I said to myself. I went over to open it up.
In addition to a few 110V plugs was a large nest of wasps. They weren't happy. Also, my opening the cover knocked their nest onto the ground. They got even less happy.
So I ran away, and bought my trim at Home Depot. So much for being a parking lot home improvement ninja.
