/diy/ - Do It Yourself

We'll have the last laughs anons.
Scott is building it so that he'll outlive this house, a house which is his crowning accomplishment; the pinnacle of his life which he'll rest his hat on for the rest of his life!
Fast forward 20 years when he is on his deathbed, surrounded by his loving family and friends ...
>Everyone has gathered in Scott's bedroom, surrounding him with love - not a dry eye in the room.
>He whispers to each and every person of how proud he is of everyone, and how happy and well lived his life was. He wouldn't have changed anything.
>Then that one grandson with the big mouth stumbles into the room laughing
>But grandpa, that house you built fell down 5 years ago! Mom didn't want to tell you - they thought the news would kill you
>The house fell down and the owners sued and won since you documented all your mistakes so you could get $0.005 per view
>They had to demolish it and your kids have been paying the hundreds of thousands in civil suit costs because you killed a baby. You're bankrupt and blacklisted from ever getting a permit again.
That brief moment as Scott's ego and satisfaction fain, so will his soul ... and bowels as he leaves one final mess on this earth.
