Shelf Help is on aisle three.

that guy needs a book, he looks board!

How did he get that 6X6 to stick to his leg??

It’s too late for the book. Call the ambulance.

All he can afford is a board.

He must be board out of his mind.

He better read that DIY book until the info is board into his brain.

what he needs is a youtube video on both.

Bleeb is shocked! But can’t help grinning…

I know just the book you need…It’s called the Yellow Pages, find yourself a good contractor.

It said easy to install and I watched them build one on TV, what could be difficult about that? First of all you dropped all of the screws, bolts, and nuts in the grass.

Now, I’m no medical expert, and I’m not a very good carpenter, either… but I am a problem solver. So here goes:

For the arm wound: some 550 Paracord and one o’ grandmas knitting needles and he could stitch that wound up himself. BOOM! Money saved at the Emergency Room!

Now, as far as that high-priced lumber nailed to his leg goes… how can you not go with a crowbar?! It’s quick and yeah, it’s gonna hurt, but…. BOOM! A fortune saved at Home Depot!

There you go! I just solved two problems AGAIN, before my third cup of coffee!

That desperate to save a buck eh?

Read twice, nail once.

Also, a book on writing your own will would be helpful.

Can I suggest you try the E.R.

“You’re lucky; they’re both in the D-I-Y section!”

I think that dude has had enough do it yourself for one day.

Don’t just stand there bleeding! Call for an ambulance, dummy!

Rule #1 – If you don’t know what you are doing, put down the power tools.

Rule #2 – know how to dial 911 if you do not know how to follow Rule #1.

How about I loan you our yellow pages and you look up “Handy Man”…

I would think the book on first aid would be his first consideration. And if his first aid is anything like his carpentry, he better go with a professional.

Waving back at you Little Alien Dude! Bleeb is laughing because the lady in purple can’t help staring at the man’s wood! :)

His wife knew that buying that nail gun was a bad idea.

Bleeb’s there to get the book “Places to See on Planet Earth.”

Personal recommendation for a book on shed building: Yellow Pages under Carpentry. As for injury, a first aid book should be pretty easy but would highly suggest you head to an urgent care, fella.
