    You know something's wrong when...

    ...a 90-year-old geezer with oxygen tubes hanging from his nose and handicap plates passes you on the right going at least 10 mph faster than you - and you're doing at least the speed limit.

    Chime in with your favorites.

    When you go to install a door (which had to be re-framed) and the exterior walls are being held on with a 4 in layer of caulk, nails through power lines, no interior trim, no insulation except outside underneath they put fiberglass all hanging down and probably full of rats. T1-11 as interior walls crooked as a drunk on a unicycle. mold, rot, mildew, bad cuts you name it. and seeing all this just from installing a door ????

    When was you in the cabin on my property that the previous owner built? My wife refused to live in it even a few days while our new house was being built.
    People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
