Quote: Just what was it about the "Studfinder" pokes that rubbed your H the wrong way? (I mean I "get" stud...finder, but... ).
He was frustrated because he'd hammered a nail into the wall at least 15 times (no exaggeration) without finding a stud. When he gets frustrated, he doesn't like to be teased. When the whole thing blew over it was on a comment from him that if he didn't find a stud in the next 2 minutes, he was running out to Home Depot and buy a studfinder (said with a smile and several colorful epithets). If you haven't figured it out yet, it's a tool.
And yes, it is a 180 for him to tell me if something is bothering him.
"A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing."
-George Bernard Shaw
