I married Mr. Fixit.... NOT! (pictures) UPDATE: page 2... the next morning!

Brilliant! - My DH would have used scotch tape - Or , would have used it as an excuse to redo the whole kitchen!

 

[dianeschlicht]

That is TOOOOOO funny! I would have been furious! My DH is actually a very good Mr. Fixit. Sheet rock is very easy to work with. Besides, it looks like a great reason to get rid of the "popcorn" ceiling!

I didn't dare get mad (Gene was already mad enough for both of us - and it was an accident) and there was no point in crying, so I figured I might as well laugh about it.

All things in life can be fixed by duct tape, a screwdriver, or superglue.

Well..

My FIL was a vice president to a tape company in Philly for years... guess what one of the biggest sellers was.. you guessed it DUCT TAPE!

I disagree. The only two things needed in a man's toolbox; duct tape and WD-40. If it's loose and it shouldn't be, duct tape. If it's stuck and should be loose, WD-40.

Once again, men are belittled and ridiculed by their inadequacies. Sometimes we just need to be held

UPDATE: The next morning.....

Well, our kitchen ceiling is painted with textured paint. It doesn't like duct tape.

The fun never ends. But at least Gene pushes it back up when he walks by.

 

[SuiteDisney]

Another update: He just risked life and limb and cut off the broken pieces with an Exacto knife.

 

[jldriscoll]

Bwahahahahahhah!!! Sorry.....but you're right...ya have to laugh!!! Has Gene ever considered his own tv show?

 

[KaitlinsMom]

Really - This sounds like something from Tim the Tool Man Taylor!

Home Improvement - Watch out - Here comes Gene!

That's okay, his cooking makes up for everything.

 

[browneyes]

It's a good thing he's so tall so he can push that tape back up on the ceiling.

He cooks?! I figured you were keeping him around because he plays golf so well.

 

[Talking Hands]

ROFLMBO!!!!!!!!!!!!
I needed a laugh and this takes the cake. Suct taping the ceiling. I can't stop laughing now. More pics please

OBVIOUSLY!!!! Our DH's are related! ... Similar thing happened at my house only it went well beyond Duct Tape!!! I wasn't home and My DH only had a "couple" more boards to put up there. When I came home I saw the vacuum cleaner in the hallway.... THAT should've been my first clue something went terribly WRONG! When I turned the corner to the kitchen, that's when I saw this huge hole in the kitchen ceiling. DH said he 'slipped' too, and immediately tried to play on my sympathy by showing me a huge reddish- purple yellow/blue bruise from the bottom of his thigh to the top of his hip and across his butt..... it was pretty nasty, I must admit. (Sorry, I don't have any pictures). He didn't fall thru the ceiling, he fell straddling one of the supports! I commended him on using the vacuum cleaner ( I was surprised he knew where it WAS)... He proceeded to tell me that the main reason he needed the cleaner was for our Sheepdog (yes, full coat) who was standing directly beneath where DH's leg made it's appearance into the kitchen....pieces of wallboard and insulation all over the dog.... As if the poor animal wasn't traumatized enough, he then vacuums him!!! Our DS (proabably about 2-1/2 at the time)who was very content watching a Disney Movie (I'm sure) walked out in the kitchen, looked up at the hole, looked at the dog , went into his room, got a book and sat on the sofa and did not move! I have so many stories and so little time! Too bad one of the little 'smiley' faces isn't a simple sympathetic nod!

 

[Planogirl]

LOL Laura. That's just too funny.

Two Eeyores, your story has me giggling too. Vacuuming the dog... ROFL!!!

 

[newmousecateer]

ROFLMAO!! That is just too funny!

Oh mny gosh, the Duct Tape King! Gotta love it!
