You must be a motivational speaker... I'm feeling motivated already!

So, the first item on your materials list should be a pair of coveralls and a raincoat.

A couple of months back, I had to adjust our dryer vent hose and it is until the tightest section of the house. I feel your pain.
A couple of days ago, it was adjusting the thermostat on the hot water heater; again, under the house, but at least accessible.

Well I bit the bullet and went under the house, tight squeeze in places and went from one end to the other only to find out that what I need to do can't be done from under the house. At least I got it out of the way and I can now give my son some options and proceed.

This time of year, the snakes are already hibernating, right?
If not, I'm sure your son would LOVE to complete this project...

involves crawling under the house to get material list Storing the needed list in a hard to reach location sounds to me like you have studied the advanced techniques in the art of procrastination.

That's also where I store my to do lists...

Did Mike know about you crawling around beneath his house before this confession?
Honestly, I find this just creepy.

You should see the stuff I store under your house...

So that is where all that stuff came from! I thought the previous owner had left it there. I'm sorry to inform you that I sold what I could at a garage sale and sent what was left to the dump.

I hate it when that happens...

I'm a retired professional remodeler which involves a rigorous understanding and practice in the science that is procrastination.

Teach us almighty wise one...

The first lesson is to have a plausible excuse.

That sounds like a great working title for an article. When can we expect to see it?

Tomorrow!

Or quite possibly the day after that...

But you will probably tell me the same thing tomorrow.
....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet? ....Is it soup yet?
I figure you should understand that quasi-cultural refernce.

Like when my kids were young and we would take a trip;
Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...Are we there yet...

My response to that is always 5 min.

That would make a good fortune cookie:
"You're bad about getting started but once you do, you go to the end."
Especially when you apply the traditional ending to all fortune cookies.
