Man points
I built little table for our new TV set top box last night. I used a SAW and a DRILL and a SCREWDRIVER, so surely earned some man points.
Have you earned any man points recently?
(I hope points are not deducted for quality of production because it's completely rubbish, but it's still standing )

Re: Man points
I've been on a bit of a man points farmfest recently.
Two biggest gains:
1. Ripped down the plaster from the garage ceiling to create a massive "mezzanine" storage area. Consequently got a huge pile of stuff out of the house, making the house much less cluttered.
2. Bought my wife a brand new VW Tiguan Pacific (132TSI) with plenty of features.

Man points
Well I played house husband last week while the missus went back into the workforce. Not only did I ace all things regarding child rearing, i also fixed the toilet, patched up a hole in the gyprock, replaced some door furniture, weeded the entire backyard, cut down a tree and bought a house

Re: Man points
Skipped work (BAHAHAHAHA!!!) and took the wife and kids for a drive up to Barrington Tops for snow... found small patches of ice and a melting snowman. Ice fight followed between wife and 3 kids!
Got home to hear the weatherman say it will snow there again this weekend, FUCK, can't get up their to see decent stuff as we move very soon.
Washed the car tonight after the trip (lots of sludgy mud) so she doesn't get dirty going to movies with a girlfriend tonight. I might laid sometime soon now!!
Here's a photos of my youngest Alice with the Ice Man...

Re: Man points
Fixed the door stopper in the bathroom and scrubbed the shower clean on Saturday morning, killed the clover in the yard in the arvo...
Got some paving to do in the back yard in a couple of weeks so will have a Dingo on site, not sure how many Man Points I'll get but I'm sure I'll waste more time than required driving the Dingo around the yard

I was telling a local young bloke how to fix a sticking door the other day. He asked me what a chisel was! FFS.

Mind you, I was at my cousin's a few years ago and she asked me to build up a swinging garden chair thing for her. Her fella turned up and I asked him to pass me an allen key. He just stared at me - he had no idea what one was. He was in his 40s

LOL. Sounds like my old Sigma. 50 litres of fuel and 4 litres of oil. My mates reckoned they could follow me around Sydney.

Re: Man points
mate of mine owns his own pest control company. Most of you were aware of my previous life as a pestie.. dude's over in Thailand with his bride-to-be (feel free to add jokes here, fuck knows I have), and has thrown me behind the wheel of his business for three weeks.
Tomorrow, I crawl under a house with literally 12 inches of clearance to do a termite job, treating every single stump with at least 5 litres of chemical. To even get under it to start, I have to dig a trench.. then trench my way to each and every stump. The house is 50 squares.
*thumps testicles on the table*
I think I have enough man points up to date even before tomorrow starts.

Re: Man points
Had a plumbing problem the other day & had to stick my arm down an inspection pipe up to my armpit in water that had pieces of shit floating about in it.
It took a few days before I felt fully clean again.

This is something I've wanted to do for quite a while. Instead, I saw myself removing my sound system in my car then reinstalling it in another car. Without resorting to ripping the trim apart.vipergod wrote:I'm building a rally car +100 points
