I didn't move while I was looking at it (other than to kind of hump up and down).

"Measure twice, cut once..."
I can't make this shit up.
A couple of weeks ago we had a termite inspection, but this has nothing to do with termites.
It seems the inspector was a refugee from a Three Stooges sketch.
Somehow he managed to jam his ladder into the attic scuttle hatch and door. He had to cut the hatch door to retrieve his ladder. There was no way I was going to help him fix it ("you break it, you bought it..."). So he came the next day to replace it. As any good Stooge would.
When he arrived the next day with a "standard" scuttle hatch door purchased from Lowe's, I could tell from looking that it wasn't even close to the right size. So now he measures the hatch door (and I saw him write it down) and back to Lowe's he goes.
I guess he returned the hatch, bought some drywall, and had it cut to his measurements.
Before I realized he was back, he had a plastic drop cloth on the driveway and was spray painting the new hatch. I went out and commented that it might've been a good idea to test fit the new cover before painting it. His response:
While he was spray painting I noticed he was holding the can about four inches from the board, so the result was pretty streaky. I told him if he held the can more than twelve inches away it would cover more evenly. When he did that he marvelled at how much better it worked that way.
Uh huh.
Brick, meet dumb as a.
Since he couldn't wait for the paint to dry he stored the hatch door in our garage and left.
And now we get to the third day when he returned to put the hatch door in place.
It didn't fit. Again.
Another trip to Lowe's (I guess) and finally the hatch door fits.
