So, I bought an inexpensive metal shed kit for the backyard. Due to limited space and wanting to avoid the city’s permit hoops I wanted something that would fit almost against the house. Due to the size restriction that created and my limited carpentry skills/wood working tools I had very few options. I probably should’ve gone with almost any other option.

A great example of the shittiness of this thing is the spring latch assemblies for the door without the handle. They intentionally give you two top latches. I need to take it apart and reverse the latch to turn it into a bottom latch.

Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!! Kinja'd!!!

Just in case anyone thinks I must be imagining things here’s the parts list where it calls out two latches and the assembly section that references a top and a bottom.

I’m not sure I have enough beer to finish this thing.

Something about lesser of two evils or I’ll vote in protest by choosing a third party candidate that I know will never win.

The weird thing... THIS was the year for a Third Party Run.  Where is that candidate.  Hell, I’d vote for Ross Perot right now.

Four years ago was Biden’s time, but no, thank you, Debbie Wasserman Shulz.

Would his being dead influence your willingness to vote for him?

I guess swapping out a disastrous, fundamentally dishonest, aggressively criminal businessman for a merely questionably honest businessman, would be an improvement by some measure.

Because until you take it apart and rebuild it they are. They only supply top latches but tell you to use a top and bottom lol

I already had to substitute bar stock for the weird u-shaped pieces they gave for door supports. Sadly we special ordered it to get the size we wanted so there’s no returns or it already would’ve gone back.

Oh, that’s one of his prime qualifications. He is MUCH less likely to say something dumb into a microphone or on Twitter right now.

He drew 18% of the vote in ‘92, saying dumb stuff non-stop.
