Nails

SHINER [defenition]: 1. a nail that misses a stud; 2. what happens if a golf ball hits you in the eye.

STUD [defenition]: 1. an upright in house framing; 2. Framer Adam.

He's single, by the way... sort of.

It's quittin' time when the cords are rolled up...

...and the nail bags are off.

Then the studs come a-struttin'.

Clocking out.

At least someone drinks H2O around here!
