Had a little insomnia a week or so ago. I decided to continue to strip and sand some dining room chairs that I’ve been working on for months it seems. Anyways, I use a foam brush to apply the not so green stripper. Came back out to scrape the chair after 15 minutes. Being the genius I am, I decided I’d sit on the foam brush on the floor as I scraped. I’m sure you can figure how that played out. I’m glad everyone was asleep as I don’t know if I could explain coming in the house from the garage without pants. My wife always said I love my tools too much!

I really don’t want to visualize this. But practice safe woodworking and finishing.

Nice story. As Mark DeCou has been writing. You need a story with all of our furniture. I guess you have one for this job. LOL

Having trouble sleeping?? Try planning out in your head, in detail, your next project or two, you’ll be asleep in no time..

I play tennis in my head when I have insomnia. I fall asleep in a about 10 seconds.

LOL, I play golf, errr… pasture pool to fall asleep. Reading the CDL drivers testing manual works well as well.

Geez – don’t any of you guys knit? That will put you to sleep faster than fishing without a baited hook.

I’m glad all you lost was your pants in this 2 a.m. adventure. I’ll make a note to never sit on a foam brush full of not so green stripper. 8^(
