If home improvement and DIY were actual categories for the Nobel Prize, i'd be running out of places to put all my Nobel prizes.
I'd probably have to put in a new shelf. Maybe use some nice cherry planks...

I'm sure that there are plenty of much simpler ways that Cueball could have learned if he'd asked the guys at the hardware store for advice.

Screened in my brother's porch a few years ago. Had to basically make 5 of these. In theory, they were all gonna be squares. One giant one that's like 12x7 feet, a smaller one that's 12x4, a tall one 2x7, et cetera. Not a single one was actually square. It took us days.
I fully support this addition to the novel prize categories
That's... that's not what a square is...
Square in carpentry is used a little differently. It includes rectangles, and is more about the corners being 90 degree right angles. In fact, a carpenters square is a tool that is triangle shaped!
Every square is a rectangle but the other way around.
