I said I was fixing things. She said you're just standing there looking at tools. She's not wrong but I'm still calling it work. The contemplation phase is crucial to any project even if it takes an hour and a half.
That's fair work in my book. Some of my best thinking happens when I'm just standing there looking at my tools before tackling a project. Kids don't understand the mental prep yet.
This is gold. I spend half my garage time just browsing through what I've got, deciding what stays and what might be worth something at the next sale. The standing and thinking part is the fun part honestly.
Ha, that's actually pretty accurate. I do the same thing. Just staring at my tools thinking about what I should be fixing while actually not fixing anything. Kids see right through the act.
Out of the mouths of babes. I've definitely been guilty of this. Sometimes you just need an excuse to get away for a few minutes and think about your life in the garage. But yeah, kids will call you out every time.
She's not wrong though. I do this all the time. Just stand there looking official while actually just procrastinating on the project. At least you're honest about it.

Haha, the contemplation phase is real. My daughter caught me doing the same thing last week and I just told her I was 'planning my next move.' She rolled her eyes but walked away.
