A Wobbly Post
![1624378886365.jpg](https://images.hive.blog/DQmP7v77BLAD7fqfLqEmQeyVUAZGnBpdaqEDmWdyXVzVPnV/1624378886365.jpg)

*What's going on here then?*

Boomed an accusing voice from over my garden fence.

I gasped and squinted up, sweat blinding my beautiful eyes. 

*The Jim,* my neighbour, loomed over the fence. His old face, cracked and wrinkled like a dried-out love sock, scowling in accusation at me.

*I'm building a fucking deck.*

I said, somewhat defensively waving an arm at the wreckage of wood and broken shit that surrounded me.

*Aye, that's not what I am asking and well you know it!*

*The Jim* bellowed indignantly.

I put down *The Big Fucking Hammer* that I had been wielding and straightened up, pushing a hand into the small of my back and making a masculine weeping noise.

*What are you asking then?*

I was puzzled. 

It seemed perfectly clear that I was in the middle of a grand *project.* I mean it was obvious. I was surrounded by half sawn pieces of wood and various tools, not to forget also *The Big Fucking Hammer.*

Maybe he thought I was Thor and I had turned my hand to Carpentry?

*Fucking Kate Bush, that's what I am talking about? You gone all... you know...*

*The Jim* made a motion with his hands that could only have been a mime of a man being fisted whilst wearing a dress.

*What the fuck?!*

I snapped my head around appalled at what *The Jim* was saying. Kate Bush!?!

Behind me was my radio. An old and battered thing I had found in the garage. When I had started work on my deck I had felt oddly compelled at a molecular level to get the Radio out, tune to a local radio station and turn the volume up really loudly.

I realised that while I had been sawing and humming along to the music that somehow a Kate Bush song had sneakily started playing. 

That one that went *Wooh oh oh ooooooh oooooooooh.*
<sub> I know, it could be any one of them</sub>

I felt a deep blush bloom on my cheeks as if I had been caught playing cricket.

*Hahaha, it's just the radio. I was so busy working I had no idea what was playing!*

I exclaimed brightly as if *The Jim* at that moment with his big bushy grey beard and piercing dark eyes didn't look exactly like God, weighing me up and finding me wanting.

*Aye, well. So what are you doing down there?*

He nodded inquisitively at the hole I had just stuck a post in.

*Building a deck, you know, putting the supporting posts in?*

I picked up *The Big Fucking Hammer* and hit the post enthusiastically. It wobbled resentfully in response.

*The Jim* narrowed his eyes. 

*Digging holes, listening to Kate Bush? I don't know son. I don't like the sound of this.*

*The Jim* stuck a hand on my fence and leapt over it in one majestic bound as if he wasn't sixty million years old.

He marched over to my radio which was still belching out Kate Bush and stabbed a sausage finger at it. 

Kate Bush cut out to be replaced by Mark Knopfler yodelling about *faggots and MTV.*

*The Jim* brushed imaginary dust from his hands and looked over at my hole and wobbly post

*Where's your concrete?*

He said, glancing around.

*Huh?*

I quivered with the righteous man-fear that I had been caught being double un-manly by not having concrete for whatever reason men have concrete.

*You will need concrete in your hole.*

He stated ominously.

*Erm, I don't have any concrete.*

I blurted out as if being waterboarded with decaying foreskins.

*The Jim* set his hands on his hips and surveyed the workings around me incredulously.

*No concrete? Fuck me, lad, do you want me to give you a hand with all this? I've built many a deck.  I don't mind, I'm retired, I've got fuck all else to do.*

He picked at the edge of a raggedly sawn post sticking out of the ground at a forlorn angle.

I snorted, lowering my head so that I could ram him with my fearsome horns. 

What was he implying? That my work so far was a fucking mess? That I couldn't build a deck for toffee? That I was some kind of middle class, accidental Kate Bush listening popinjay that was playing at deck building?! 

Maybe *The Jim* needed to have a few words with *The Big Fucking Hammer?*

*Eh, yes please. I would love your help.*

I squeaked.

*Alright then, I will go and pick up some concrete and be back in a minute. Don't let me come back and catch you listening to Kate Bush though!*

We both laughed. He with joyous neighbourly spirit and me with murder in my heart. 

I watched *The Jim* go off to fetch his so-called concrete.

*Can we smash him, o' great one?*

Whispered *The Big Fucking Hammer.*

My fingers tightened around her haft.

*Not yet, my pretty... Not yet.*

How did you not have concrete? I always carry concrete on me. "Never go anywhere without at least one bag of concrete," my dad always used to say.

Nice to see some Boomy in my feed this am. 

Back when I had to work, *waaayy* back then. I had my own Thor of a swingin thing and I didn't even work with hammers. I called it "Notta." *Notta B. Fuctwit.*

Would it end differently if I knew who Kate Bush is or should I not have admitted that?

A real Tom Sawyer, aren't you? 

> What is Tom Sawyer known for?
Considered the epitome of the all-American boy, Tom Sawyer is full of mischief but basically pure-hearted. He is probably best remembered for the incident in which he gets a number of other boys to whitewash his Aunt Polly's fence—an unpleasant task in his eyes—by making the work seem to be extremely absorbing.

Oh, yes. Boom Sawyer... kind of rolls off the tongue.

Lol. Well, I shouldn't *lol* to be honest...I mean Boomy, *Kate fucking Bush?* What the fuck were you thinking. Oh hang on you were not because...

*No concrete?* Like, *none?* Shame on you. 

In truth I'm not sure which is worse but then you saved the day with the *big fucking hammer*...One of those mitigates a multitude of ills.

Hey Kate.

*Yeah?*

Fuck off!

*OK.*

I was singing along like a maniac!! Oh dear. 

I realised that my thoughts of building a deck are really fucking amteurish compared to what The Jim thinks it should be. No concrete, shitty little screws. Jim came back with these massive things. Absolutel massive and has a band saw thing that attaches to his bench. 

I have been out-manned!!!

Being out-manned can be a humbling experience, but you'd be even more out-manned if you don't accept the initial *out-manning*, swallow your pride and take some instruction from The Jim. Doing so will more than adequately re-man you. 

Coach screws bro, concrete and fucking bandsaws...That's where it's at! Soon you'll be re-manned and will be well-placed to out-man many and diverse fellows who cannot hold a candle to your re-manliness. Then they can become re-manned and then out-man in turn. It's a man-cycle.

Sunnofa... !!!!

You just identified that I am "The Jim" of my neighbourhood.

As a specific example,  yesterday,  my neighbour was removing boards from his deck so that he can replace them with cedar ...

Not only did I yell over the fence and tell him he was using the wrong type of crow bar for removing the boards ... I provided him with the 2 that I own and then offered to help....  Then his wife piped up and asked if there were any tools that I didn't own?  To which I replied -- "None that are useful."


To be fair,  I am 15 years younger than my neighbour ... or is that statement actually more damning???

I think it's time I go grab a drink.  

I will refuse the urge to Google who Kate Bush is ... I don't want that in my search history ... and from your description, it's likely better that I never find out.

Thats exactly what The Jim does!! And his wife often then drops by with cakes and traybakes that she has made!

The only difference is, he is about 15 years older.

Hey, you fancy coming over and helping? I have already promised The Jim a bottle of good malt Whisky! I could spare two! :OD

hehehe.  It's actually happened before.    

I was over in London for work and decided to go visit a friend that I'd met in Canada when he was travelling.   When I got to his place, his back fence had 3 out of 5 of it's fence posts rotting.  

I asked where the nearest Home Renovation place was and off we went.  We tied the 10' posts to the roof of his tiny European car (and put the bags of cement in the "boot"). and returned.  

24 hours later (Time for the cement to dry), the fence was solid again.

Off to the pub ... Then, he brought up a couple of repairs needed at his vacation house in France (it was tiny ... but it was in France!!) ...  and how expensive contractors are in Europe....

How could I turn down a free stay in France for a week.  

I was able to delay my return flight by a week and I was off to France.  

Rinse and repeat repairing a back deck and a shed (6 hours work at most) and I had a "free" vacation with a tour guide and a lot of wine in the evenings.  

It it wasn't for Covid,  I'd be on the next flight.

First you need big tools, huge ones, the famous brandnames, like Mikita, DeWalt and of course some Leatherman scullery! 

And a Jim who'll help you fix it, with lots of concrete. And some laser precision measurement tools. Also a tool belt, that rocks! 

But first put some gravel in them holes for the posts. (At least I saw them do that on JooTjoop, for some water thing reason.) 

Never tried to build a deck, seems like a tricky job. Good that you have kind a handy neighbor. It's gonna be a great deck I bet.

He has a laser spirit level!! It's like something out of Ghostbusters!! I have a yellow battered metal thing. You are right about the gravel, he has been quite cavalier with what he piles in, gravel and dirt then the 'crete. At the risk of sounding pathetic all his tools are fucking massive compared to mine. As is for real work! Don't know of or will get done for the weekend but it's looking good so far!

Those real powertools are already half the job, but they also cost an arm and a leg. (As a figure of speech, not due to wrong appliance.) 

Thumbs up for getting the job done before the weekend! Cheers!

One thing I know about concreted posts, they're a right pain in the system to get out again if you ever need to take them out ^_^;

Did The Jim actually jump the fence :O Are your fences less high then my fences?

Also why were you trying to build a deck by yourself are you actually insane.

The fence he jumped is about belly button height, he did put a leg and a hand on it right enough. More of a half climb and a hop.

I don't think we will ever get these ones out. He seems to use up over half a big bag at a time. There is literally tonnes of it. 

I now realise that perhaps it was insne to think  I could have done it. In my head it was literally  stick some posts up and wallop some decking in between.  Now he uses words like *joists* and has ordered more timber for these so called joists which apparently the decking will sit on and even more embarrassingly has marshalled his son into helping who apparently is an old hand at decking as well.

I am literally making them cups of tea and helping to carry the odd thing now. To say I feel helpless is an understatement! HE asked me how big I would want the step at the end and I was like *I don't know, Im just winging it!?!*

Ah, I am sure it will look good when he finishes it :OD

Yeah, keep it up man, it's awesome. :)

I believe in you, you got this!

(P.S. I tipped you on this post, not because I thought it was your best work, but because you've consistently been a quality person to me since I arrived here and this seemed like a convenient way to show some appreciation.)
