The Blog Turns Into This Old House
I learnt, yesterday, that even if you think a project doesn't seem to require a specific tool; it will.
I was installing locksets in existing doors. A chisel to make recesses for the strike plates or latchplates wouldn't be needed because the mortices should already be there. Well, I was wrong.....a supposed 15-20 minute installation took most of the afternoon.
On another note, this mornin' I woke up with a hangover (and/or splice t' mainbrace) and be workin' on growin' a beard. Its been awhile since I've had a 3 week period o' time whar I don't have t' look spick and span for anything.....

Nice illustration.
Where do you get off using "learnt" instead of "learned". I read it and I thought for sure you conjugated the past participle "to learn" incorrectly. So, I looked it up and it's correct, but Merriam-Webster states its chiefly British.
Jolly good my queer friend!
There were a lot of good colours in that illustration.
I've got a habit of consistantly spelling certain words a specific way. Didn't even realize that I had spelled learnt properly.

rule of home repair:
multiply whatever time something should take by about 15 and multiply the cost by 3 and assume it will require at least 1 trip to a home repair store per hour of work.
