This thread stolen from bcsportbike.com, an amazing account of extreme lack of brainpower coupled with some lumber and a hammer. Seriously entertaining!

Thanks for the link. That Leaning Tower of Crap wouldn't get approved in a shanty town in some third world country.
I feel so much better about my workshop.

Re: Epic build FAIL
Thanks for the laugh John. This one's getting passed around the office for sure.
No really... it's supposed to smoke.

Re: Epic build FAIL
Thanks for the laffer, John.
Yes, some guys certainly have a different "view" of how things should be done.
After all, why buy a square and/or a level when that money could be better spent on
more lumber and nails.
Hopefully buddy won't keep anything too weighty in the "shed" after completion.
If such items don't crash through whatever he uses for a floor, then the whole
"shed" will definitely be headed for the bottom of the bog. It'd be interesting to keep an
eye on this project and see what has happened, say, two years from now.
