I was mixing paint (actually blind color matching by mixing different paints) with a **** screwdriver. It counts. I'm crazy enough to do it and have it work out well.

I also used a leaf blower, rake, broom, and dust pan to pick up leaves. I was on a bit of a freetime bender today. That was between getting breakfast, going to home depot, getting a cup of coffee, going to walmart, plugging up holes in stucco, painting, doing laundry, drinking a bunch of beer and some whiskey and talking to birds. For some reason birds always come right up to me regardless of where I am. At home it's mainly mockingbirds, sparrows, and hummingbirds. I'm pretty sure they talk to each other about bird related stuff, I see grackels, sparrows, and blackbirds talking all the time. What does that have to do with tools? It don't.

Lets see I installed 3 overhead paging speakers.

1) tape mesure
2) utility knife
3) jab/drywall saw
4) wire strippers
5) fish/glow rods
6) cordless drill

Light day only worked 2 hours as this job needed to be done after 4pm and we wanted to get it done to free up next week for bigger jobs.

The big question we are having is if we want to start on a few bigger projects Thursday and Friday or just wait till next week.

Let's see.

1) Skil 3/8" drive corded drill (burned up today trying to mix thinset)
2) Dewalt 20V impact drill
3) Knife
4) Screw driver/Hammer
5) Trowel for plaster/thin set
6) Goggles for once in my life

Im working on a bathroom remodel. First time doing all of this. Found out my Skil drill I have owned for nearly 10 years was no match for trying to mix a bucket of thinset. Time to stop by Harbor Freight tomorrow and pick up their 1/2" drill for $50. Reviews are positive so even if it only lasts me a few uses it will be better than having to rent a drill from Home Depot.

I used my Shumacher battery charger on my wife's car battery (she plugged in her iphone in the car... overnight... )


Did she call you off said phone to let you know the phone was fully charged at the expense of the car battery?
