does it take for

Dan's quote was
"Fine, if you build
something, I'll
climb on it."

Just like when we
we kids and would
build forts...
 

 Scan1680
Dan suddenly
remembers that
those forts used
to collapse on us
and the TV would
come crashing
down on us...
 		 Scan1679
Well, we survived
the TV falling on
us, and the lamps
being scotch-taped
back together,
and we survived
this too!  Smile!

Gary stains
upstairs

Dan smiles while
he works!		 Scan1687
Watch out for
those drips...		 Scan1686
Gary doesn't look
happy, does he?
Scan1678
Gary and Dan
share a scaffold...
does Gary look
a little messy?		 Scan1681
Gary takes a
break!		 Scan1677
Brian pushes Dan
around on the
scaffolds...
Hang on Dan!
 		 Scan1688
The girl at the
grocery store told
Gary that he
looked like he was wrestling pigs...
I told her that
he was just a
messy eater...
