(12:11:22 AM) Friend: yes
(12:11:24 AM) Me: Did you solve it? If so, how?
(12:11:31 AM) Friend: i haven’t done any further research
(12:11:38 AM) Friend: i’ve been busting my butt on other things
(12:11:49 AM) Friend: and largely not home this weekend…
(12:11:52 AM) Me: I’ve been anxious to know whether my suggestion works.
(12:11:58 AM) Friend: yes
(12:12:13 AM) Friend: i might consult you again once I get a chance to do it
(12:12:25 AM) Friend: but I have a feeling I’m going to be screwed to the roof till Wednesday
(12:13:06 AM) Me: Aaw… *hands {Friend} a cordless drill set in reverse direction, set of screwdriver bits*
(12:13:37 AM) Me: That’s what friends are for.
