people, i got something to tell you, so grab a coke, pepsi, or better yet a cold beer because yor gonna need it..here goes, a little history first, when we first moved out to this country back road, there were 7 tracks of land for sale, 6.25 acres a piece, we were the first to be here, then next door, through a small thin patch of woods, a guy named rodney and his wife bought that and put in a home, this guy rodney, a pretty good guy is in construction used to work at the rock crusher down the road, thing about rodney is he's ALWAYS got a beer in his hand, well, i dont know him really good, but pretty good as he stops over a lot to see what im doing with the lawn and stuff, well, he stopped over this afternoon to see what i was doing out there with the hammerdrill and stuff, i told him, he said oh no, thats a waste of time, then he proceeds to say he had some blasting stuff or dynamite or something from the rock crusher and he could blow the rocks out of there without hurting the frame of the pole barn, now, i told him that when the crusher dynamites down the road, it shakes everything in the house and that i thought it would be way to much for this, he says oh no, i have some small stuff that will do the job just fine, i argued with him about it, he goes home and shows back up with this stuff, well, i just threw my hands up, told him no way, he mumbles a little bit, i go back to digging out around the posts, i see hes fumbling around each post, i didnt pay him much attention as i was digging and he's talking to me about this and that and im talking to him, i go in to use the bathroom and come back out, he's taking a drink of his beer, i go back to digging as im in a hurry because i want to be able to get everything done because i have to have the hammerdrill back by monday morning, then he says stand back, i said what? he said get back, i took off running and yelling, 'no, no, dont rodney!!!! You SOB dont do it!!!! Mind you he's drinking his beer, anyways, i ran into the house and before i could get a word out to the family, BOOOOOM!!!!!! I thought the house was gone, when it got quiet, i heard a bunch of cursing and stuff, i ran out there and the barn was gone into thousands of peices!!!! Luckily it didnt hurt my house, BUT, one of the 4x6 posts ended up going about 100 foot in the air and back down through the roof of rodneys house right into his livingroom where his wife was watching TV!!!!!!!!! His house is about 400 feet from the barn, It didnt hurt her but she came flying over here and was beating rodney like there was no tomorrow!!!!!!!! Then i cussed him out, my wife cussed him out, things calmed down and i stared at the place my building once stood, nothing there, couldnt even tell the trusses, looked like kindling, then i walked over to rodneys house to look at the damage, i didnt feel so bad about my barn after i saw his house, the post was sticking up out of the floor with probably a 8x8 piece of the truss attached to it still. I told rodney i wanst going to call the law or anything because he had a much bigger problem than i did on his hands between his house and his wife trying to kill him! I cant believe this, this guy is nuts, always drinking, i wanted to trust him because he's usually good at stuff, but not with something like this, no way, but the nut did it anyways! /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif
