If there is one single tool that is a real lifesaver, it's a power drill, and it could be rented if you don't want to buy it. The cordless kind is convenient, but the standard plug-in kind is cheaper to buy and a lot more reliable. You can have the lumber yard cut your lumber to size for a project like this, and with the drill, you can pilot drill the holes with a small bit, then install the screws with a screwdriver head. You could do it, Trixie!Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-56713876334410585262006-11-27T00:41:00.000-06:002006-11-27T00:41:00.000-06:00I am so jealous.

Several years ago I took a series of classes at Home Depot University so I could participate in a home rebuilding and renovation program. We had classes once a week for several weeks to become familiar with electricity, plumbing, installng doors and windows, building cabinets and the like. I loved working with the tools. I think maybe I'll check into some more classes like that!Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04405956286050242058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-74218177087885956782006-11-21T22:08:00.000-06:002006-11-21T22:08:00.000-06:00Power tools, guys.

Even when you're just doing butt joints, the miter box cuts the 90° angles clean, straight and fast. The only thing I'm sorry about that saw is that it is too small to cut a 2x6.Genevieve Netzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08004780820713448880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20637018.post-62566236017355963492006-11-21T08:50:00.000-06:002006-11-21T08:50:00.000-06:00Next time you're in Nashville you can build some s...Next time you're in Nashville you can build some shelving in my garage!Runawayimaginationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11392405682285496123noreply@blogger.com
