Grizzly Dave Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Been going room to room upstairs, patch, paint, move on. Went to get started on a new room today, all my drywall knives are gone, missing, no where to be found. Had a contractor in a while back to do some work I didn't want to, including a bit of drywall stuff, I bet they were laying around and he just packed them up with his stuff. Not a huge deal, just is ticking me off. Several of them were pretty nice as drywall tools go... ya know, if I'd known they were MIA I'd have replaced them when I picked up spackle and mud the other day, both of which went missing about the same time as the tools. Or, they could have just gone into that black hole where every tool you are looking for goes when you can't find it. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr So much for that project this afternoon. Guess I'll fix some dinner and watch TV. Grizz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfgang, SASS #53480 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Look at it as a good excuse not to work. My spare Mauser parts disapeard into a black hole in the attic of the family home in Ohio several years back and have never surfaced since. . . . and I KNOW they have to be thur shomehwur ps. Driftwood Johnson was nice enought to addmit to taking my spare Mauser parts, . . this back when they first disapeared and I was searching high and low for them, . . . However . . I have a suspicion that he was kidding since he lives a long way away from there and he didn't know the address Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariner Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Growing up my father would always accuse me of using his tools to build my models, then losing them. One winter he swore up and down that I had taken his fence tool to build a model and then lost them. The next summer we went out to fix the pasture fence and what did we find. His fence tool rusted up, sitting on top of a fence post, where he had been using them the year before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seldom Seen #16162 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 I confess I borrowed them to drywall my man cave this past winter. The good news is the drywall is all done and I am going to finish painting the room tomorrow. However my next winter's project is to sheetrock my basement family room so it'll be a while before I am finsh using your tools. I might suggest you catch up with your reloading in the meantime.

Marshal Rusty Bore SASS#22739 Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 :wub: Miss Barbara :wub: wants me to hang some new doors. So all I have to do is hide my tools and then I'm off the hook? Thanks for the idea Grizz! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Assassin Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Dang Dave, I've got about three of everything when it comes to drywall. I was hoping all those tools would be gone, but they're still there next to the concrete tools. Why is it the cheaper the tool the more work required to operate it?

Bull Creek Cole Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 +1 Mariner on your dad accusing you of losing his tools. My dad was (and still is) the same way. Heck, we're still finding rusted up tools that my great grandad and my grandad left laying around the farm. It's kind of cool finding those old tools, though. I really like finding horseshoes in the fields and knowing that one of my grandad's put it on the plowhorse and was cussing when he had to put another one on.

Paladin Gun For Hire Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hey Grizz, Wanna buy them back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 I'll just go buy new ones tomorrow. Then come home and I bet I find the old ones right off. Not doing any major drywall, I suck at mudding seams and such, I don't have the patience for it. But I can fill little dings and cracks. When I built the kids playhouse and drywalled it, I finished one seam the right way, you have to really look to find it, after that I knew I could do it, and just chose not to. Just as well, 10 years of kids playing out there it all needs replaced or repaired anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
