Plot
Bob Thompson wanted a boat, and he and his son, Tom, and Clarence Dickson, a friend, start in to make the craft in the cellar. Many days and much hard work is cheerfully consumed on the job, which, when completed, is a vision of much enjoyment. But the engineering and surveying was at fault; they had not measured the boat and the exit of the cellar. These important qualities did not match and the question at point was, how to get the craft out. The idea of sawing the boat in halves was impossible, the only thing to be done was to knock in the wall of the cellar and dig an exit. This was done and finally the tub was carried down to the river. The proud ship-builders got in and pulled out, when it was discovered that it had not been well caulked. It took water and was rapidly filling. Vivian, Bob's daughter, and the hired man saw the peril and Vivian really did love Clarence. John, the hired man, quickly got a motorboat and motored to the rescue. All lives were saved, and, as the three men at home soaked their feet in mustard and water, they declared, "Never again."

Plot
Bob Thompson is a poultry fan, and with the assistance of his family and friends, proceeds to build a chicken house. They all skirmish for lumber, and, having secured the plans from a poultry book, succeed fairly well in constructing the building. John Smiley who is always doubtful of the success of Bob's engineering schemes, and Thompson being on the inside of the coop, John calls for Bob to come out and take a look at the house. The master builder weighs three hundred pounds and finds that the windows and door are all too small to permit him to make an exit. There is only one thing to do, and that is to chop his way out. This he does, with much show of temper. That night the party goes to Bob's house and tells Vivian, Bob's daughter to tell her father that his friends have come to congratulate him. Bob sends word out that he wants nothing more to do with them, and the bunch retire, disappointed, but realizing that there is nothing doing.
