Man Toys

You girls who use saws

do not write to me in protest

because in my world,

these are Man Tools..

I have used the Chop Saw,

and felt proud.

But most of  the tools I am about to show you,

are man tools.

They do the Man Jobs

around here.

 Hubs worked on the deck railing last week

and we love how it turned out.

I will show you some pictures of that later.

Here are a couple of saws that

the trim carpenters are using.

They are such talented craftsmen.

They did the stairs and trim on the last house

and we were happy when they were able to do this one.

Just wait until you see how pretty the trim is looking!

Here is another saw of Jim's crammed down in the basement hallway

to keep it out of everyone's way

while they are working down there.

This is the one I was allowed to use.

Insert Tool Man sound here,

 I can't figure out how to type that!

DeWalt seems to be the saw of choice around here.

Tools, tools, everywhere a tool box...

These guys are getting ready to lay 

the hardwood floor in the entryway and kitchen.

I don't know why the background is such a dreamy aqua,

but it's not really that color...

oops, I'm supposed to be pointing out that there is

a floor being born in the foreground!

almost done...

Piles of wood everywhere

soon disappear

and turn into

a lovely wood floor! 

We chose wider planks this time,

and it has a rustic look

that we are loving!

I will show you the 

stained and finished floor

this week.

Cabinets start going in tomorrow~!

Grand Girls are coming tomorrow too,

so I will see you in a couple of days.

I will be 

in Nana mode!
