today i made a decision. i will build an awsome bed, that will look good and we will like it rather then buy one we like from ikea. the initial premise was that it would be much cheaper to build it on my own. after i found that it might not be that much cheaper, i said it will leave me with all kinds of tools that ide want to have any way and not have a reason to buy. at the end it was that i WANT to build this bed. the idea now was to buy the wood and tools and paint for the job and be able to do it at home. there were a few things i did not consider. my car is too small to carry all the wood, home depot cannot make exact cuts on the wood and i have no way of carriyng all that ship on my own. joe was kind enough to help me out again. we went to get the wood, and then had to go and swich cars, so we had to leave the wood there, when we returned there was all kinds of other stuff that wasent ours on the cart. i, the good semaritan gave it back but they messed up the check any way it was cheaper all over. we got the paint and brushes and other little bits and put it all in joes van. the plan then was to load it all in to my car so i can make a run up to boston. but then tess asked why not just ask joe to ride up in his car? well ofcourse he said yes. the end of the deal is that we talked all the way, and i think i was trying to ask joe somthing about living in america, and it ended up beeing that i was nagging him, and wining about how hard i have it and bitching about other poeple. i ended up not asking him about most of what i wanted to know way back when before i got hired, but then again i guess i figured most of it out my self. still i guess i have to break away from what i know about making a living and beeing able to afford the life i want to have and the things i want to do. joe was trying to be helpfull and i think it killed out conversation from that point onwards.
joe seemed to like the house in everett street alot, also there was the longest period with no trains and it does seem like an awesome house in those rare times.

good for you! I hope you'll enjoy making something by your self from wood and stuff. Yes it is somtimes cost more than just buying but it is fun, even if it turn out to be a bit difrent and a bit wabelly at the end. In time you'll get better!
And yes this is the best way to have your own cool power tools that you have always wanted but never bought.
I think this is why we do it too.
But the down side is that it takes lot of your time and energy...
I don't know if tess like this diy too but if she does this will do good for your relationship between U2, it is for us. so have fun!
