5. Your home is next in line!
I think I may hire myself out to build IKEA furniture. Because it seems like all I have done since I moved here is build IKEA furniture.

Edited on Fri Nov-17-06 01:10 AM by Kali
Another birthday coming up and I didn't get one again. At least this year I got something good - an olive tree. Been wanting one of those longer than the sawzall so that is good.

15. just don't buy ryobi
they used to only sell business to business, and they made unstoppable tools. about 10 years ago, they decided to go after the diy people, and they made them as light and cheap as they could. you can see where that would lead. real crap. full of plastic parts.
i like dewalt. i have a dewalt drill that i have beaten the snot out of, and it is still solid as a rock.

18. Ryobi used to be great, I have a 18V drill from years back
It fell off the top of my car going 30 MPH and still worked. They are horrible now.

My new drill is a Makita, which I love. It's tough and has a NiMH battery that lasts forever.

26. No kidding!
I don't do digging. But a post driver (for steel posts) isn't too bad. (and it makes a hell of a rocket launcer for 4th of july bottle rocket wars)

27. I have a Sawzall, too! Nyah, nyah!
I will have to use it a lot more to justify the purchase, however. Just like the one in your picture.

For serious demolition.

30. Wonder if I can use it to eliminate the pigeons that have
taken up residence in my eaves.

No, I would never do that, but geez, these pigeons are going to be my undoing.

33. I want a DR Field Trimmer Mower, but no one will get me one
because I "don't even have a field...blah blah frickin' blah...."

That sucker can take down small trees!

(I also don't have any small trees, but you NEVER KNOW when one might pop up and need to be removed!)

36. It's about 34, right now.
Better than it could be, but I am appalled by the thought that at some point in the next months it could easily be fifty degrees colder than that. I have lived here my entire life, and I will never get used to the winters.

38. What sucked this year was it seemed as though we had no autumn.
It got cold pretty abruptly, and the trees lost their leaves in a nanosecond. I think what gets to me more than the temps and the snow is the sheer barren visage of everything. Sigh. If this were a red state, I'd be GONE!
