Are you a Troll?

skymaster

Oh No NOT this again I just can't
COPE with this!

Of course COPE COPE COPE COPE COPE COPE :}
Oh yeah did I mention cope with it.
On furniture I agree with miter, dat stuff supposed to B square

loneframer

Yes, I am a troll and it will cost you 7 grinded maple trim copes and one eye of newt to cross the bridge.

basswood

Oops!

I meant that comment for nailman... who always miters. WT$%^@

loneframer

That's OK Bass, I donned the gloves with the utmost respect for you.You still owe me the 7 grinded maple trim copes and one eye of newt though.

basswood

How about a friendly bout of "Mercy." I'm warning you... I've never lost. You know most trim carps are wirey little guys that have forearms like Popeye. I've taken down 300 lb. football linemen and bouncers twice my size in Mercy.

Now that I think about it I should make my teenage daughters boyfriends beat me in Mercy, before they take the girls out.

12" mitre saw, cut it flat and meaure the angle of your corners, especially if it is paint grade, it will fit like a glove and go fast.
You just can't blindly cut it at 45, 22.5 and expect it to fit. Try it and I think you will find it quicker and easier

Back when I was around 20 or so, I played mercy with my buddies girlfriend, I had her wrists bent backwards with her feet about a foot off the ground and was bouncing her. I ended up giving because she wouldn't say mercy and I knew I would break her arms before she did.That girl was tough.

Hey... Do you think that HandymanService guy's tag line is directed at us?

loneframer

Definitely, I pride myself in the fact that I am a wise fool. Many valuable lessons have been learned from the utterings of a madman.

Speaking of madmen... did you see the mad roof demo I posted in the Roofing Picture Post. I wanna try that.

loneframer

Yeah I did. I'm not sure about the risk/payoff ratio. I could see a new skylight going in over a sneeze. Pretty impressive demo nonetheless. I also threw in a couple pix of his brother from up north.
By the way, you should go with the "mercy for a date" idea. You have to make that first impression.

Handymanservice

No sir, it was directed at one person. I guess I should change it, but it is so true sometimes.

I was just taking the opportunity to laugh at myself... no offense taken--even if you meant it.

loneframer

As a rule, nobody laughs at me more than I do.It's good for the Abdominals,beats doing crunches anyday.

furniture isn't nailed to sheetrock and 2x4's and usually doesn't have 20+ FT runs of crown.

basswood

Say... with Handyman's tagline it now makes sense that you have twice as many posts as me.
