Cos I fucking don't!

Got three of the buggers and can't find one. Was planning on hanging a couple of doors tonight, but after an hour wasted looking for the dam things I gave up and cracked open a beer.

I'm 100% that Jensen, my 1 and a bit year old has posted the one I had out somewhere, but asking him tomorrow morning is likely to achieve nothing.

AAAAAaaaaaarrrrrgggggggggg.

Damn.

I have 3 tape measures and can never find any of them either!!!

If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of.

Wife's handbag is where I know I can always find a tape measure as a last resort !

My wife uses them, then puts them somewhere else. Usually quite close to where they should be but completely out of sight!

I've looke on the side, top bottom and under. I even checked the letter box as it's my sons favorite place to put the keys.

Wifey doesn't have a handbag, but might check her work bag, good idea.

If it's not in the wifes handbag, it will be by the window that needs new curtains or on the floor where you need a new carpet.

I guess if your hanging doors your measuring out for the hinges.... in which case cant you just use a 12inch rule lol?

Or has that walked of too? which is normally the case!

Yes, in theory, but I have four folding doors to hang, so 12 hinges in total, plus lots of other measuring to make sure everything is straight. Would have been prone to errors using a 12" rule.

And although body parts could be used, I fine that temperature and excitability can massively influence the accuracy!!

Wil.

Is it the one that Rob H is holding in Roberts people shots at Avon, 11th pic ?

Just a thought as there's one in his puddy by the look of it.

Richard.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
