Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for November 03, 2011

You learn as you go, and call a pro for the rest. Nothing worse than cutting a hole in the wall for a window and its too big, then it starts raining. That day was fun.

Head for Lowes or Home Depot, lots of self-help books there!

Hiring a pro may not be a bad idea at this point…

Let’s hope they don’t get whomever built that table for the restaurant. Or ML is stronger than she looks.

bet he gets Arlo to help

I don’t get it….

I don’t get it…Little help?

I guess he says "shrimp’ in an affectionate way, but some day she will not like it.As for the “pun” I don’t see it either.

The Three of US !

Reminds me of my attempts to build…..“I cut this board four times, and it’s still too short!”

In panel #2…..what’s the white thing on the seat, just behind Gene’s arm?

Read a book on it, and as long as the main wiring into the house is there and is safe— the breaker box— electrical wiring is easy and kind of fun. Plumbing is also not too hard, though less fun since leaks can pop up even if you think you’ve done everything right. Of course, either thing gets tougher if you have to have an inspector out to stamp code approval on all your work (never bothered to do that myself since I figured we’d probably own our house for decades, as we have). I did things safely, but not always 100% according to details in the code.
