After recent scientific evaluations, it has been determined that caulking guns are the most readily displaced construction tool. This is due to several factors, including: infrequent use, the ability to hang them on trusses and forget them, and a natural tendency to store them away in “catch-all” boxes.
Okay, I made-up the stuff you read
in the paragraph above. There has been
no scientific study. I merely expressed some
observations from my own experiences.
At present, I think (not
totally sure) I own something near eight caulking guns. Posted at the end of this blog is a
photograph of a new one I purchased a few months ago when I was unable to
locate one at the house. Not long after
buying the new gun, I found one in a cabinet in my garage. A bit later, another two turned up in closet
storage bins. I also have at least
three caulking guns at my cabin. And I
just know I have more guns somewhere.
There is a maxim that goes
something like this: “You can’t have too many __________.” The idea here is to fill the blank with
something good. Caulking guns don’t
qualify.
