Loonietoon Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 (edited) Boy am I in Trouble now. Wife decided seeing as how I have put off building a new front porch on the house. NOW is the time to do it... Told her I will start in 2 weeks.. I know she will want it done before we start going to the trailer in June and before I can get into some fishing.. What to do??????

spincast Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 strain a rotator cuff? might not be able to cast but trolling and jigging would be good therapy - and you could use the recovery time on the water to draw your plans up. You know you cant start a project that big without mapping it out first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GBW Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 order everything you need, incl. food and drinks and hold a deck building party but the beers start at the end (so it get's done and it's level). still send her out so she doesn't know how many people helped and doesn't have to put up with the noise all day. then because you got it done so quick and she's happy with it you have a free pass for fishing in your pocket on a boys weekend when ever you need it... or fake an injury..

Live2fish85 Posted May 5, 2011 Report Share Posted May 5, 2011 Well get the measurements and tell her everywhere is out of wood lol and you have to wait 1 week for it then when the weeks over tell her the are still waiting lol. I know it's a bit far out there but hope she doesn't know about wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
