This Could Save Your Marriage

(Note: The computer glitch has yet to be figured out, so not able to post photos yet.  Original post date should have been September 18, 2014)

So in advance of installing the hardie boards, Rob was chatting with the guy from Rona and he suggested Rob get some "special clips" that will hold the board in place while he nails it.  You see, the boards are 12 feet long and heavy, and I will be on the other end, trying to hold it, and keep it level.  You know where this is heading....I will be wilting and drooping while we try and position it, which leads to perhaps heated words on both sides...thus the Rona guy, when he found out it was Rob and me doing it, suggested we get these clips, so we don't kill each other. 

He ordered them on Saturday and I picked them up today.  At first, the guys at the lumber place didn't know what I was talking about, but the guy Rob talked to, said yes, it's called Gekko Gauge.  I said it would save our marriage...the guy agreed...he said only hanging wallpaper with your spouse was the worst thing on the planet, followed by doing siding together.

So here is our life saver.  And another bonus...Rob can sell it on Kijji when we are done, as the lumber place said they are always getting calls for used ones (the Gekko Gauge is slightly pricey, but cheaper than marriage counselling!)
