"Worst-case scenario? The renovation goes three years and two million dollars over budget, one of you bludgeons me to death with my own hammer, and you both get the electric chair."

"My contractor told me Rome would only take a day."

Men Looking Down a Hole

'Where ya goin'?' 'Collectin' nuts.'

The Contract & The Change Orders.

'Well, they were the low bidders.'

'It's okay. We all forget occasionally. It's righty-tighty, lefty-loosey.'

'What you mean the specs are being changed again?!?'

'David discards his measuring tape for the faster 'eyeballing' method of measuring.'

"Risk! What do you mean, risk?"

"We've decided to add forty floors."

"This the first time you guys ever installed an above-ground pool?"

"To be honest, the hardest part was the ISO certification."

'Let me just check the code book.'

"Maybe it would be easier if I just put a stake where it IS safe to dig!"

Job Safety - Valves.

'Today's not a real good day to move in.'

'I do not change the building codes every week. I do it every other week.'

'I found the termites!'

"Millimetres or centimetres? Check the plan."

'Well, little pigs, maybe I couldn't blow your house down .... but I checked with City Hall and found out you guys didn't apply for a building permit ...'

'Yes you did, Mike. You just said 'perchance.' And yesterday you called me 'my good fellow.' Twice.'

'They can't work as a team.'
