Since when did I stop sitting in IRC and talking about ops in exchange for doing “house projects”? Seriously:

• running cable (ok, that’s geek passable)
• installing electrical outlets (still in the geek area)
• installing a chandelier (alert! alert! physical labor!)
• lawn mowing (eek!)
• running a waterline to the refrigerator (abandon all hope now)
• help setting up drywall at a friends (but there was beer!)

And what do I get when I get home after installing said drywall? “At least now you have an idea for when we start working on the basement”.
