My son attempted to change an air return vent cover for me. I thought it would be a simple job. He was working on it this morning. When I got out of the shower, I heard the pounding of a hammer and had to check out his methods. Obviously he had become frustrated not being able to sink the screws. I told him to drill holes first, or start in a different place. When I came back downstairs he had abandoned the project in frustration. I saw the kids onto the morning school bus and took a look at what I thought was going to be an easy task. Look carefully at the photo of his unfinished job. Do you recognize all the tools? The last tool he tried was his Harry Potter wand.
Isn't he a cutie?

Oh, man! I just remembered I have some self drilling metal screws you could use on your vent cover. We got them when we had to put plywood over the slider when we got broken in to.

This just proves the saying that when all you've got is a hammer, then all your problems look like nails. I'm not sure what the saying is about wands.
