I feel for you . My life was like that for 7 Years before i met my wife.

See if this makes you feel any better. For where i live, the weather was supposed to be "Scattered Thunderstorms". We are doing some remodelling on our house (a lot in fact), and due to size constraints and not getting dust infused in all of our belongings, i had to do all of the heavy power tool work outside.

I went to home depot to get all of the supplies and when i was done, i went to rent their flatbed to get it all home. The rental lady pointed out that the longest anything could be in the bed was 12'. 2 weeks before, i had been told 16 feet.

I had no choice but to take the truck, so i had to buy a hand saw and a tape measure and saw 14 14 foot 2x4s down, and over 50 feet of molding i had purchased BECAUSE it was in big-ass long pieces.

i go thome, and I was a couple of hours into it, and it began to rain, just before i got into cutting the wall studs and panels. once i had those pieces, i could work entirely indoors. I was able to get up 1 fram, and the floor stud for 2 walls when the sky completely opened up. It rained so hard, the street was flooding in under 10 minutes.

every time i would think "well, they are supposed to be scattered, maybe it will let up." the rain fell harder.....

I didnt get the walls up until YESTERDAY.

I was so pissed. i was wishing god would turn into the skeeball bum from Dogma so i could kick the snot out of him.
