… You might be building a Teardrop.

[Aaron Coffee]

You call in sick to work to buy more screws and trim.(then run into your production supervisor at Menards, true story, never have asked what he was doing there).

You buy parts for "the next one" before the first one is done.

Your decision on taking a new job hinges on how long it will delay the start of "the next one".

While driving on a rural gravel road you drive around the section because you thought you saw something teardrop shaped in a grove

You spend half an hour walking thru a grove because someone said there was a TD in there only to find an old rusty frame and a pile of what used to be plywood.

When people ask you "Your'e building WHAT?"

You look at a box of old exhaust valves and think "Those would make neat cabinet handles for THE NEXT ONE"

You must be a teardrop builder IF:

you go to HD to get a board and the parking lot is empty, the lights are off, the doors are locked.......... SO you drive over to Lowes, wondering on your way other there why HD was closed....... you arrive at Lowes, the parking lot is empty, the doors are locked and the lights are off. CLOSED!
You call your wife with the astounding information that the lumber yards are closed...... she reminds you that it is THANKSGIVING DAY!

[CASHCOW]

IF your kids decide to have Thanksgiving day at THEIR house because yours if filled with sawdust!

You fret all day long because you know you can't go work on your teardrop because you let all the other projects build up so much and you don't have a choice but to get some of them done.

...If you have a mountain of cast iron.

When the people who buy you christmas presents refuse to get you anything more for the "tear" and you can't think of anything else you want.
