So, I got it into my head to *accomplish* something today. I've charged the battery for the drill and I've marked level lines for the rails I want to hang in the kitchen.

I can't find my stud finder. It's the beginning of allergy season, so I can't rely on listening for the right sound by doing the knocking thing, either. I can't even find a damn compass. I'd rather drill into the studs. I'll use wall anchors if I have to, but studs are better.

If you were my little stud finder, where would you be? Those of you who are snickering can shaddup right now.

In other news, I can't find an artgum eraser, either, which I will probably need to get the pencil off the wall. I suppose I can try to find a mr. clean magic eraser, instead, but they tend to spread the graphite around more.

I should have my drafting pencil case SOMEWHERE. I wonder if my old eraser is still good . . .

My husband is home! I thought the local celtic gang kidnapped him!

If I was your studfinder, I would probably be in a box marked "tools" or somewhere around the place where y'all have stored tools. If I was *my* studfinder, I would be in a box marked "bedroom" or "clothes" or somewhere totally illogical, because I'm a shitty packer. ;)

I'm glad that the boy made it home though getting kidnapped by a celtic gang *might be kinda fun.

If I was a stud finder...I would be in a club. Yes, I am snickering and I won't stop. hehehe

I second that.

I'm a little stud-finder and I'm chilling in my room with my tools right now.

Sadly, I'm not _your_ little studfinder... and I'm not mechanical, entirely.

Hi, you made me laugh in a reply to a request I had on hip_domestics, and I wandered over to your journal, which also makes me smile. Mind if I add you to my friends list ?

I feel like such a pillock asking people this question, there should be a recognised etiquette of LJ.

Go right on ahead. I should warn you most of my friends-locked posts are full of kvetch and woe. ;)

Did you get the bloodstains up?

Drafting pencils make great roach clips and raise very little suspicion when pulled over by the local constabulary.

[krasota.livejournal.com]

What about when you claim, "Uh, those pencils are my dog's." Does that raise suspicions?

[glove-puppet.livejournal.com]

More or less. I probably need to have another go at them in daylight. Or just rearrange my furniture.
