Feminine Logic

Last week our washing machine broke. Yesterday I fitted the new one. Only problem is that the new machine is slightly larger and catches a cupboard door so that it won’t quite open as wide as it used to. This means that we can’t get the cleaning bucket out of the cupboard very easily. My proposed solution was to design and 3D print a new hinge that moved the door pivot point as it was opened so that it didn’t catch the washing machine and the door could open further. Number one wife suggested we put the bucket in another cupboard.

Ha ha! Too funny! The same thing happened to us when we bought a new refrigerator. The drawers in the cupboard perpendicular to it can no longer be opened because the fridge is too deep front to back. We haven't got a solution yet... for now we just emptied the drawers into other cabinets and someday (soon, as she may kill me if it's later) I'll have to cut them down somehow.

Women just see things differently.

I put a new bigger Inter-write board in my wife's classroom. As a result the projector had to be moved back about a foot so it will project the bigger image. The projector is hung from a drop ceiling on a bracket that slides. The post the projector is bolted to comes through a hole in the acoustical tile. I slide the projector back in place. Half of the acoustical ceiling tile is now over lapping the neighboring tile. I am getting ready to mark the tile for a new hole thinking this is going to be a real pain in the posterior and how did I get roped into doing this and muttering about the heat in the ceiling. The favorite wife says "Why don't you cut the overlapping piece off and put it in the space you just created in the front?" Women see things differently, thank God.
