[ice grillin you]

Lol! Yeah, you don't have to be Einstien to plant trees, or work a shovel. BUT.....yeah, most everyone can paint, but theres a difference between just painting and painting well.

Long as Igy keeps deviling out cash and never gets his hands on any tools, we will all be better for it.

stop being a MA douchebag

if you wanna devote your time to a charity like habitat for humanity they arent going to turn you away cause you arent as good a carpenter as jesus

christ they will have you hand cups of water to the roofers if thats what you are good at

also pretty sure families who are getting a new house for free arent going to bitch about not perfect paint jobs

Jesus wasn't a carpenter asswhipe, that would have been his Father. Also, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone who wouldn't bitch about a sloppy paint job, no matter the circumstance.

also...you don't plant a tree the right way, it dies.  not just anyone can plant a tree

anyone can smear paint sure, but there's a reason painters get paid to do what "anyone can do," and it's not just that people don't want to do it: it's because they are so much better and faster at it that it's worth paying

Just to clear another thing up:  Habitat does not give houses away  They back interest free mortgages with payments tailored to be affordable to their "clients," who not only have to keep up with monthly payments, or be foreclosed upon just like anyone else,  but they also have to put in 300 hours of labor on their house and/or other Habitat projects before they can move in.  It's a great program.  But this much is true:  though the houses are sound, solid, good homes, the finish work is pretty poor because amateurs don't paint well, don't trim well, etc.

If wishes were horses, beggars would ride.

All of my money and time goes into school and work and beer.....but through work I did what anyone here would expect me to do.

I bowled to raise money for Big Brothers Big Sisters

Every azalea I've ever planted has died. My neighbor says the trick is too plant the dirt ball half in the ground and pile dirt up around it. Worked for him, not for me. Only thing I've been able to grow are annuals and those little box bushes.

[Sgt PSN]

Do you keep your box bush neatly trimmed or do you just let it grow and get all mangled?

Now he can hold a collection cup, a sign and smoke a cigarette all at the same time. 

[rjs246]

More likely he'll just jerk off with it.
