You Know You're A Contractor If...
1. Your dog rides in your truck more than your wife.2. You wear specific hats to paint, grout, plaster, and cut trim, or to different stores (Carls vs Home Depot vs Seattle Lighting).
3. You have ever had to wash off in the backyard with a garden hose before your wife would let you in the house.
4. You've never thrown away a 5-gallon bucket.
5. You'll remember the square footage, pounds of nails required, crew labor rates and permit delays on a house you built, but cannot recall your wife's birthday or your anniversary.
6. You have used a Lee Valley catalog as toilet paper.
7. You have driven off the road while checking out a new house going up in your neighborhood. Even worse, you stop and interview the builder and subs, regularly
8. You have 'borrowed' gravel from the county road to fill potholes in your driveway.
9. You've used a 5-gal 'honey bucket' as a porta potty, for 3 months (which is why no. 3 is important)
10. You've used the same knife to exterminate vermin and peel apples; of course, you wipe it off so its clean.
