    That was never going to work. More walers at the top than on the bottom. The few they had tied with thin gauge wire. What a mess.

    He didn't have enough time to do it right, but he'll have plenty of time to do it over.

    We used to hire a lot of temporary workers and told them if they did excellent work, they could expect a bonus at the end of the project
