I have tiny hand saws for really tight spots. I don't know if the saw in question is any better. There's a lot of t shank blades for odd materials but I cant see it being any better. I have a hackzall and it gets into some narrow spots and it only cost a little bit more.

I do have a Bayou Classic turkey fryer that doesn't get used. I may bring it up next summer if the Digi isn't cutting it.

I'm going to try one of those Digiboils. I have room in the barn and I have space to run a 240 circuit. I'd like to drop in a well but a tap is only 150' away. I figure I can do a 5 gallon batch of basic brew and try my hand at distilling. I'm not looking at setting up a huge system.

I installed two sets of blinds this morning and had about 1/4" too much side-to-side play for the supplied brackets. Spacers were made. I had an audience! I had to do the googling as it was about finger length. Seems to be a grass spider, I sent it back to lawn. I always wondered about...

One of the reasons for cleaning up a utility room is I want to get back into small scale home brewing and distilling. I haven't homebrewed in twenty years and I've always missed it a little bit. I went and rescued the demijohns I had saved over the years. All those trips to the wineries...

I moved the shelving out and went thru chems and tossed a lot of them. Faucet was replaced and tub cleaned. Next on the list is finishing the outer wall. Maybe get some more light in there. I have a few of those Bernia led strips and I'll see if I can squeeze them in. And I'll have a...

My utility room is unfinished and hard to use and kinda dank. It's become a dumping ground and I'm hoping to bring it back to usability. Old chemicals and paint that have been around too long. Not a lot of clearance. The faucet has seen better days.

My hillbilly hot tub sprung a air leak and the patches provided wouldn't hold for love or money. I ended up using Oatey Medium Grey PVC cement. Hold fine ever since.

I've been back at the MI house for the last month and things have been moving along with no big surprises. Rained out the first week. Heavy snows raised the lake quite a bit and I lost about a third of the front lawn. Smoked out for another week. The well decided it didn't want to prime...

I'd bet slightly drunk member not AI. AI wouldn't make those grammatical mistakes. I was looking at new members today. Is @sassysoles going to be an AI bot, a creep or a valued contributor?

What's the rough size of the room? Dark tile and epoxy/grout hide dirt. I'd go lighter tiles so everyone can see if the place needs hosing and scrubbing down. @Shiftless is right about having a short hose connected off the wall, add a handy bucket and scrubber to help with the hygiene.

Last year I got a warranty notice about my chainsaw. Returning to Michigan this summer, I sent it in for repair. It took about a week to get it back. I was pretty impressed.

Sweet! I love a good giveaway.

I'm glad you're keeping at it! Any progress is still progress.
