I’ll do anything except advanced plumbing and electrical work. The downside of screwing it up is too great. But in the summer, you’ll usually find me puttering in the garage workshop. It’s part of the Man Code with Mrs. Henkster. “I’m going to clean off the work bench” really means “I’m going into the garage to drink beer and watch the Cub game. I do not expect to be disturbed.”

Other Man Code translations:

“I thought we’d explore an alternate route” means “I’m lost.”

“That’s nice dear” means “Are you still talking?”

“That dress really looks nice” means “I’ve done something you’re really not going to like but I’m not ready to tell you about it.”

I think I recognize some of those codes.

Mr. Beachy can do some things but the things I need done, he can’t do, OR some I don’t want him to attempt.

I have a brother who does that type of work but he’s very busy lately. So, I need one on call.
