Installed a door today. Took out the old one, cut the wall, made a lintel, bit of a framing, usual stuff.

From the pictures it came out looking pretty nice. Good job.

We are getting a Costco next year. So you never know what will happen.

I’m seeing a lot of the new 48v Skilsaw on IG. Has anyone here had an opportunity to take one for a test drive?
