Right Tools
Have you ever started a project and realized you didn’t have the right tools to complete it? Today was one of those days. I exchanged a washer and dryer for my in-laws and quickly realized that the dryer plugs did not match. In order to make it work I would need to remove the old dryer’s plug and place it on the new dryer…..without my toolbox. I manged to find a vice grip and very small flat head screwdriver. Halfway through I was frustrated!
Here’s how you respond to these situations:
- continue to work because finishing is more important than how you got there
- stop and get the tools you need
- stop and let someone else do it
I chose to continue and finish…sometimes not having the right tools should make you stop…sometimes it just makes the journey harder. Interesting how life seems to be that way too.

I’m obsessive-compulsive in these situations…I almost always go looking for the right tools, even if it means extending the project several hours, days, etc. 🙂 I agree with Rando on the new look. Hope you guys are doing well.
