A: Alright, ladies and gentlemen. We’ve been hired
to build a deck on this here house, and turn this
boring and drab lawn into a backyard oasis. There
is one catch, though. We’ve only got one day to
finish this, so I’m gonna need everyone to give
one hundred and ten percent today. It’s going to
be tough, but we’ve got a great team here, and
I know that together we can tackle this project.
That being said, let’s get to work!
B: That’s right. Now, remember, we’ve been over the
plans, but we really need to make sure that every-
thing is up to code. The home inspectors here are
pretty thorough, so please make sure you follow
the plans exactly. And remember the carpenter’s
rule of thumb: measure twice and cut once.
A: Okay, guys. Let’s get at it. Bob! Pass me that
hammer! The nails won’t go in; the wood is too
hard. I think I’m gonna need the nail gun. That
did it!
C: Do me a favor and help me cut this two-by-four,
will ya? Pass me the circular saw, and grab hold
of the end of the board. Now help me drill some
holes in it so we can place the bolts.
B: I think you should sand the edges. Look at
all these splinters, someone could get hurt.
Geez...you gotta take pride in your work!
C: Yeah, you’re right. Pass me the sander and I’ll
take care of it.
A: Julia! Get over here with the level, measuring tape
and that box of screws!
C: Oh, no! Look out below!
