Boys and their Toys

I have 2 younger brothers and we spent many days with a family of 7 boys. I know boys, their toys, and the mischief they can get into with those toys. The definition of "toys" changes from the toy store variety to tools, gadgets, cars etc as time passes. Put a tool in their hands, especially the powered variety, and watch their eyes glaze over as grown men revert to overzealous 8 year olds. Vrmmmm. VRMMMMMM!
Of course, this has "nothing" to do with the swiss cheese ceiling. Wiring needed to be threaded through the joists. Uh,huh! I'm not sure that many holes were necessary. It was just too much fun watching those nice round holes come out.
Now propane torches are another matter. Water heater pilot lights are meant to be lit with a long match or bbq lighter. Propane torches melt water heater insides, make for cold homeowners' showers, and really p.o. plumber's bosses. Yes, this is a true story and it just happened to us.
As I said...boys and their toys!
