Dear Santa

[Daddymem]

This Christmas I don't want too much, I've pretty much got what I need but here's my list.

Nails that drive in straight without bending.

Screws that go in-all the way-without stripping.

Level ground beneath my ladder.

Just another hour of daylight.

About 10 degrees higher temperature.

Two more feet on that electrical cord.

A few less ounces on my hammer-but keep the same driving force.

A pound or two less in my toolbelt.

A way to eat lunch without losing time.

An inch or two extra length to my arms.

An extra can of energy and patience---to use after the work day is done.

Fun and enjoyment for our kids as we toil away.

Neutral boards-no more smilies, frowns, or esses.

Great ideas for Christmas presents for my wife and kids, they deserve it with all the hard work we've done this year.

And if I could wish for others I would wish for my fellow builders:  May the board fit perfect...the first time you cut it.

You need some rest, Daddymem.  Sounds like you've been working on your house too much.
