Saw it on clearance and figured why not, it was worth it for just the batteries anyways.

Finished up a duplex, and managed to get some paperwork taken care of. As long as the framing inspection passes tomorrow we won’t have to go back.

You went and did it eh

I’m guessing that’s the deal you had mentioned to me from Quebec.

At this point I’m thinking that if we are still able to redeem for L-boxxes that I might save up for a few more. The ones I have are doing great for organizing my work trailer, and now that I’m looking at a bigger trailer I’ll need more storage!

Rain for the first 3/4 of the day today. It hurt to lose a day with how packed my schedule is at the moment, but it. Was nice to spend the extra day with my wife and daughter.

TOTD today turned out to be my flexvolt circular saw. Even with the day off due to rain I found enough to work on around the house!

Not a super exciting day for purchases but I couldn’t walk out of HD and Lowe’s without some new circula and reciprocating saw blades.

Ended up with a much needed day off due to weather. Got a bunch of bookkeeping and estimating done along with sourcing out some materials. Best part of all was that now I’ve got a bit of time to pole my head I’m around here again!

Today’s TOTD was hands down the boom truck! Best tool you could ever rent, hands down.

A nice and sun y 15C today, but tomorrow isn’t looking g so nice. 90% chance of rain all day long. Hopefully I can catch up on some paperwork, and maybe even finish staining some of my stair pieces!

@doobie congrats! I’ve been eying up that sds for a while now as I stroll up and down the tool isls at Lowes.

Drilling to attach decks would be my number 1 use as well.

Had a long day lifting trusses today. I’m not sure if it was the boom truck or the operator, maybe a little of both but boy was it a long and painful day.

On the bright side they are all up and it of the yard.

Not sure where my other 5/8 or 3/4 ended up, but new bits always drill nicer anyways.

Finished my interior walls and framed the garage walls today. Going to end the week tomorrow with foaming the exterior walls and sheathing the garage with OSB to make it look nice for the weekend.

Socket ready impact paired with a daredevil spade for drilling hokes for anchor bolts.

18v reciprocating saw was out for a little while to cut foam out of window openings as well.

Nice! Laser levels are so handy.

They sure are, I’ve been wanting this one for squaring floors so hopefully it doesn’t disappoint.

Managed to finish up the two entrance tower roofs on the duplex today, along with a few odds and ends in the w units.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I’m happy were having a colder week this week. As long as the runoff I’d slow I’ll be able to form and pour the first footing of the year tomorrow.
