Lawns and Gardens

Here I was busy dusting off some of my old Home & Garden issues this spring, getting ready for the summer rush that usually follows my grandkids around when they come over to visit and I was surprised to find a Reader’s Digest magazine amongst them all. That too an issue from the early 2000s. Since I am usually pretty neat an organized with all my belongings I found it hard to believe that I had misplaced this single issue in the Home & Garden stack – which I only read for the construction and building tips mind you. Being a 56 year old male I have absolutely no interest in Gossip or in decorating my whole home with doilies. We leave things of that nature up to the wife in this house.

So anyway, I pulled up a chair and popped open the magazine looking for clues as to why I had slotted this one in here instead of somewhere more appropriate and boy did I find my answer. A few pages into the Digest and I realized how much fun this piece had been to read to my Son who’s a carpenter by profession. This piece listed out in a very methodical fashion all the things that carpenters find challenging to build and was it a big list. The first was rooftops and the second was stairs – when I asked my son about this, he simply said stairs take up too much time and roofs take up too much acrobatic skill; just get prefabricated stairs and rooftops made from outside and get your carpenters to fix them all up for you.

A carpenter, if my son’s opinion is to be believed should only be working on the more artistic side of carpentry instead of running up to grab anything and everything on a construction site that has to do with wood of some sort. Quite an artist my little son is!
