my mantra

Lil Abner famously remarked, "As any fool can plainly see—as ah can plainly see." Ah find this comforting, as ah sit surrounded by rough calculations, unintelligible measurements, mysterious lists of abbreviations and do-it-yourself tomes. The learning curve is steep. Load-bearing, mitres, pipe clamps, RU, quarter-round—ah don't even know the vocabulary of building, never mind the techniques.
And so ah have a mantra: Morons do this.
And if a moron can do it, ah can do it, too.
