POWER TOOLS!!!

From the start I was working with a small budget for purchasing a house. While the market had gone down significantly it was not finished. This meant that I was looking at lower costing and for the most part older houses. Therefore I expected to have to do improvements. In fact, I actually hoped to have to do improvements. I wanted a place to make my own and what better way than to actually get in there are change it up with my own two hands?! Yep, my own two little hands!

When I told people of all the things I wanted to do to the house I usually ended up with a conversation that went something like this:

"...and then I'm gonna tear down a wall and I'm gonna take out kitchen cabinets and I'm gonna remodel my entire back bathroom and I'm gonna replace the back door and paint the entire house inside and out and install carpet..." [note: very fast, very excitedly speaking]
"Wait, who is doing the work?" [note: very skeptical]
"ME!" [note: even more excited]
"You mean you are going to make the phone calls and write the checks to pay the person that does the work." [note: tone of voice I very much dislike!]
"Nope! I mean ME, I am going to do the work." [note: believe-it-buddy attitude]

You get the point I am sure, but this usually lead to many reasons given to me as to why I cannot do it on my own. Of course I would not do it on my own, I would have help, but I wanted to have a hand in it as well! I wanted to use POWER TOOLS!!!!

To boot, Christmas of 2008 shortly after I bought the house Dad sent me my very own POWER TOOLS!!! They are awesome!! A Skil brand circular saw, a reciprocating saw, an electric drill, an awesome heavy duty flash light, battery pack and charger and even a carrying bag for them! And to boot, they are pretty red!

I love my POWER TOOLS!!!
