You know, he don’t have a straight angle in that whole god-damned porch, or the whole house for that matter. He is the worst damn carpenter.– Unforgiven

Irish Woman really has a high opinion of my skills.  She believes that I’m a competent carpenter, gardener, cabinet maker, painter, plumber, electrician, and a plethora of other DIY skill sets.  To be honest, I look at a lot of my projects, and the best I can say is that they’re not a public health and safety hazard.  One little trick I use is to always make sure to use an indelible marker somewhere on a project to put my name and the date of assembly on it.  That way when it’s replaced or fixed in a few years or decades, they’ll know who to blame for the creative engineering and bad decisions they uncover.

Note – Edited to make the last few sentences actually make sense.  Don’t blog when you’re half asleep!
