[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 155577"] :rofl: My grandfather was the same way. Genius level when it came to mathematics, mechanics and electronics but clueless when it came to common sense stuff. Poor guy. When I was building my house, I had one room that was going to be a 1/2 bath, but I had it built as a large closet. This house had no storage space and 2 full bathrooms upstairs and I needed the closet space. So, just before I closed on the house, I went to Lowes and took my diagram of the room with the wall measurements that the builder had provided to have shelving cut. After I finally track down a guy to cut the shelving and wait around while he figures everything out, I get the cut shelves to the house to find out the shelves for one wall had been cut about 3 inches too long. I should have just asked him to hand me the tools and I'd cut them myself. :rofl: I like your theory, by the way. It reminds me of the exercise room of the police dept for the city I used to work for. One wall was all mirror and in the corner was a sticker that read: WARNING! Objects in mirror are smaller than they appear. [/QUOTE]
