Need LJ Dating Advice.

Yep it can be, depends on what you do with the 2×4.

-- My mother named me Hamilton, I have been trying to earn my nickname ever since.

Does she have a sister?

-- My broker promised me he would treat my money as if it were his own. Trouble is, he did.

Only if that 2×4 is the only wood present… ;-)

Tell her to bring her work clothes and do the basement after Sunday brunch. Enjoy the night!

Some of the best relationship-building times my wife and I have are projects that we start and complete together.. remodeling has been among those projects :)

If you’re both into it, why not?

-- Dan, Rochester, NY

We should all be as lucky as you, my wife doesn’t even know which end of a hammer to use.

-- I'm not as good as I once was, but I'm as good once as I ever was.

now your just bragging!

-- San Diego, CA

I’d see that offer as nothing less than an inquiry as to how well you can hammer or scre…. nah, I just can’t say it.

-- Power tools put us ahead of the monkeys

Is anyone else curious how the date went?

Personally, if she wants to get busy with 2X4’s more power to ya’.
It could be a good experience to work on a project together.

Just don’t let her watch “Silence of the Lambs” before you invite her down to the basement.

The date went very well. I was pleasantly surprised as I was envisioning that it could easily turn into the date from Hell. We framed a 14’ wall in slightly less than 2 hours. She was very helpful w/o getting in the way. She does not know how much about carpentry or power tools. She did know when I needed help w/ the tape and chalkline and was right there w/o me having to ask. She wrote down measurements so I could cut multiples. She would move the studs from the pile to the sawhorses just as I needed them. She said she helped her Dad a lot when he was building a cabin and that is how she learned what to do. Let me tell you that this dating thing is a mind bender at my age, 64. After losing my dear wife to cancer 4 years ago I felt I was being thrown to the wolves with dating again. I think I may have found a keeper with this one. Here is the wall.

A keeper for sure!
