quick after work project on friday night i thought....my tim taylor like neighbor recently replaced his mailbox....he showed me how he simply chiseled a lil cement out...popped his old box out....and slid in a new one....he said....oh don't worry about using cement.....just get some Great Stuff....you know that stuff you can squirt into holes and stuff to insulate your house....
so earlier in the week....i zipped to home depot...got a chisel, new mailbox and a can of Great Stuff.....i'm fairly handy around the house....i thought....i can do this.....the pull down thingy was broken on our brick mailbox from an accident....so the whole box needed to be replaced....
well.....all i can say.......is......i'm a fucking dumbbutt fer sure....it took me an hour to "simply chisel the box out"....i was pooped...in a hurry....i just grabbed the can of foam crap and squirted away....never reading the directions.....squirting...wiping excess with my fingers......
word to the wise.....USE GLOVES.....that goddamn stuff is like superglue.....my fingers and nails felt like sandpaper within 30 minutes......yeah i know i'm a dumbass.....but mannn....those cans should have HUGE warnings for idiots like myself.....hell....it should be called.....Great Stuff Make Sure You Use Gloves.......on the fucking can.....
a couple of hours of soaking hands....peeling it off lil by lil....and an afternoon of yard work and pool play....few baths tossed in there......my fingers are finally non-lizard skinned like......
just thought i'd share......bound to be another idiot like me out there....somewhere.....who would squirt before gloving....
