When I scored that great Craigslist load of long pressure-treated, I used the F250. But then when I got to work on my stairs and on my shed, there were a few particular pieces I still needed, so I used The Missing Linc to go down to the Home Depot and get them. Nothing like
@pjtoledo.
I was ambitious, so I was doing the stairs and the redo of the shed at the same time because it was all the same tools. So Murphy’s Law, in the middle of it, my tablesaw crapped out. I hate it when you buy a tool, you just use it for 40 years, and then all of a sudden it dies. Where has the quality gone?
So it was $99 when I got it, and I went straight to Harbor freight because it’s one of the tools I can’t live without, and they had a 25% Memorial Day coupon, and actually a better quality saw for $149. So I walked out the door for $122 tax at all.
Around 90 or 91, when the saw was already probably 15-20 years old, I built it into a “Murphy bed” table that folds up to the side of my garage. This new saw was 2 inches longer but 2 inches less in width, so I had to re-cut the hole in the table and redo the mounting. I did it quick because I needed it, and I plan on replacing the piece of plywood so it fits snug like the old one. Project for another day .
Then I finished up the stairs, but too late to paint. I laughed to myself that I got all that lumber for $60, and the one gallon of oil base paint was $64. I fetched with The Missing Linc too.
And perhaps a little late, but honors to all those who serve, and prayers for all those passed, sweet pea and I pray every day for those who serve, that they stay focused on the mission, and that they stay safe. I am humbled by those who serve, and I am dwarfed by those who gave the ultimate sacrifice. All His Blessings, now and always.
