Add the vehicle owners law. When you get the car to the shop it will stop acting up and run perfectly.

(same for boats and planes)

Also, Law of the married Contractor.

When in the middle of the most important, difficult,aggivating or dangerous portion of a job. Such as one foot on a fully extended 32 foot ladder,the other foot on a windowsill and while reaching out to get that one part you cant get any other way. Your wife will call on your cell phone. Just to say "Hi" or to give you a message that could just as well waited till you got home.


My personal favorite was "Im bored"
Death is no easy answer
For those who wish to know
Ask those who have been before you
What fate the future holds
It ain't pretty

LOL Havent had that one yet. The 32 footer was true though. Had no other way to get to the one area on the house because most people dont think about house maintanence when they do their landscaping. Therfore Trees and shrubs are usually planted in the very places you have to place your ladder to get at specific areas.
And people forget that over time these things grow.

The "Im Bored" was one time I was hanging wallpaper and on the most difficult peice with some of the most fragile paper I've ever worked with. I mean you practically look at it the wrong way and it would tear.
I had one area with many fine detail cuts I had to make with some peices being no more then 1/2" wide. Im on the most difficult cut and the cell rings.
So I answer it. Now my wife KNOWS I dont like to be disturbed when Im hanging wallpaper but she calls anyway.
So I figure since she knows this and she has called it must be important, So I answer it.

"Im bored" she says

My responce.

"Yea?  well Im )#($#)@ damn F)#*($#)(# WORKING!!!" And I hang up on her.

I was treated to peace and quiet for 3 days

 But it never fails. Right when Im in the middle of doing something along the lines I mentioned. She will call.

Now I just carry a beeper with me and I leave my cellphone in my truck.
Even then though. Soon as I get to the very top of a ladder.
"beep beep beep beep"
I know who it is without even looking
Death is no easy answer
