I know I haven't posted, in. like. forever.
At least it feels like that way.
It's the start of a new school year and it always seems that my thoughts and attention at the end of every August and at the beginning of September are consumed with getting ready for school.I tried to keep some of my evenings focused on some sort of DIY project...I really did. Really.
I've been working on my hallway and trying to update it. (More on that in another post...I've got pictures too.)
But, I have come to a screeching halt. The other night one of my BFTs (best friend tools) died. My compound mitre saw started sparking, making strange noises, and had a horrible burning smell. I was crushed...practically inconsolable.
The hubster thought that maybe it could be revived and tore it apart. It was so sweet of him to realize how important that saw is to me. He says the bushings are shot and can not be repaired. Such a sad prognosis. sniff, sniff.
So now I am shopping for a new saw. I just can't live without one!
I am thinking of getting one that has a laser (ohhh) and has a sliding arm (ahhh).
Doesn't it look totally amazing?
In the meantime, I am still trying to update my hallway and I really tried to go old school and use a hand saw and mitre box but I just can't get the same accurate cuts that I can get from the power saw.
The other day the hubster was talking our wonderful neighbor and he has lent me his mitre saw! I really did do a little happy dance when he did that! So I am back in business and the goal is to finally finish the hallway in the next week or two! Yay!!!
