A few rules;

Nothing is ever simple, well except the things you thought would be extremely difficult.

The more time you have a available to do a job , the longer it takes.

Open end spanners always have the flats about 5 degree too far one way to get the spanner on.

You will never get your hand out of the way of the hammer as fast as you think you can.

It's never quicker to "Just nip out" and buy the right tool or borrow it, you'll be gone half a day and could have struggled on and sorted it out quicker by staying at home.

Always assume it's going to rain as soon as you get the trolley jack out on the drive.

Always assume it's going to stop raining the minute you go back inside to get out of the rain.
