Rochelle Wisoff-Fields hosts the Friday Fictioneers photoprompt challenge. This week’s picture is provided by Lisa Fox.
It had seemed a brilliant idea as the building protected them from the elements as they worked.
Day after day they toiled to get their task finished, secreting materials and tools as and when they could be gathered. Within four weeks, they were ready.
The doors were flung open to an awaiting cheering crowd, which soon turned to mocking laughter and shaking heads.
Size matters, and they couldn’t get their invention out to try it.

I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.

Thinking ahead mattters too, I guess
True. My uncle’s neighbour had a music room built to house his Hammond organ. When they came to move, they couldn’t get it out, so it was sold with the house.
Haha! Love it, next time use a tape measure lads!
Thanks Mason
You’re welcome.
Great story Di! ā¤
Thanks Carol Anne.
We’re going to need a bigger door! š
haha. exactly
I feel their pain. I bought a desk without measuring my space – why? I thought it was way smaller… sigh.
It was a standing joke about a three piece corner unit I bought and Hubby said it wouldn’t fit, as did the delivery guys. I got it to fit though………. the table was folded down, the electric piano went under the stairs and the bookcase went upstairs in the bedroom!
Because we are smart. I made it work too, by the way š I just have to open my closet door to pass by it and open my blinds š
Where there’s a will…………..
There’s a hard-headed woman who will find the way š
Hehe!š
You put a smile on my face, thank you
So glad to do so Michael. Hope you’re keeping well.
Oh! Bless, we had a doctor who built a boat, yes a boat in his back garden but it was too big to get out through the garage…honest it’s true šš
My uncle’s neighbour was a doctor and had a room built over his garage to house his Hammond organ. When they came to move, they couldn’t get it out, so it was sold with the house!
Lol obviously something there! Doctors are obviously not spacially aware.ššš
Ha!!
Clever and sounds like something Iād do (have done) in my exuberance to complete a project! š
Thanks Ami
Ah, lack of planning. Sad.
Ronda
Ha! Thanks Ronda.
Fun story. Reminds me of the TV series, “NCIS” and how Gibbs got his boat out of the basement. Well done.
Thanks Bill. I was an avid follower but haven;t been for about three years now.
An old-fashioned comedy of errors. They were so engrossed in their project they forgot the size of the doors.Love it.
Thanks James.
Reminds me of NCIS and Gibbs’s never-to-be-floated boat!
Ha! Loved that series and Gibbs until DiNozzo left and then Abby. Haven’t bought the last two or three seasons because it lost its appeal.
I really enjoyed this, thank you. As the story progressed I was picturing the A-Team in my head. Unfortunately, this plan just didn’t come together š
Glad you liked it Heather. Thanks for commenting.
