More electrical rough, completed furring, tools!


Mikem completed furring out the laundry room wall and he framed in one of the old doorways. He went home today, we are grateful for his help.
Billn completed more electrical rough in, which is not exactly photogenic. So here are pictures of some of the tools we are using to complete our work. To the right is the packaging that came with our new miter saw blade. Spice up your saw! If we had this saw at the start, we would be done already. See the flaming arrow printed on the blade further down.

Can anybody say "fire hazard?" Fortunately, we only have one load engaged at a time on this mess, the risk of fire is quite low.


Here billn models the latest in worker fashion, George Orwell uni-suit (recall earlier discussion of the dystopic masterpiece 1984), a worn tool belt and a brightly colored accent (drill to the fashion-unconscious).



Here is our right angle drill, with a 7/8" naileater (see previous posts for pictures of nails that went against this team and lost).




Here is our reciprocating saw, senior daughter E likes to use this.



Here is the current use of the ugly fireplace shelves, tool and material storage.








Here is our replacement circular saw, since our old one passed away at the start of construction.







We sent our keyhole saw home by accident with the original billn. Here is our replacement. Looks like something you would take away from a prison inmate, but it works.



Your sawblade does not have a flaming arrow, you are jealous.














Here is a three-gang non-surface mounted box surface-mounted. We carefully cut the tile for a three-gang box, but discovered a stud in the way. We will fix this in a future bathroom renovation.

Billn's work attire and multi-colored belt and accessories creates a super hero type effect. Also, don't forget his special saw with flammer blade!!

I knew you must have been out of comission lately, no words here or on your own blog. Nice link on prisoner created weapons. Perhaps shirlsd's new nickname can be "dangerous beauty."
