They are replacing the siding on the almost 100 apartments in this complex. Being a guy, I had to 'supervise' the project.
When it came time to do my unit, my attention level rose. I watched as I a worker arbitarily whacked off a length of the vinyl siding and banged a nail through it at a point in the approximate middle of a span and then attached additional slabs on either side of that. Befuddled, I told my neighbor, who had joined my vigil, that I could not understand... the panels being attached were random in length, were placed vertically when all other siding was running horizontally and in what appeared to be a haphazard manner.
The worker, a 'brassaro' if you must know, then brought the whole process into clarity. He took a tap measure and marked the distance from right to left. I started chuckling and when 'Juan' looked at me I smiled, held up my finger and nodded my head...
"I get it now... Those first panels were just to allow you to get an accurate measure without any 'bowing' of the tape.' He smiled and said, 'You smart'.
Who was I to argue?
