I just spent the whole afternoon on what I call the "Mike Holmes Problem", namely: once you start trying to fix some other guy's lousy workmanship, you uncover more and more lousy workmanship, ultimately causing you to rebuild the whole house. So two jobs that should have been 15 minutes total with a screwdriver ended up something like three hours and two trips to Home Depot and in the end the one job can't actually be done because it needs a Tapcon and I'm not spending my own money on that, and the other is functional but is going to need a lot of finishing work to rebuild a surface and then paint it. Thus causing me to a) miss carpentry and b) not miss working with the idiots who call themselves carpenters.
