I was just listing off in my head the tools I want…. nail gun, new jig saw, miter saw, circular saw… I’ve always borrowed dad’s tool. I am working on creating a drop zone by the back door and storage behind my bedroom door, I need to paint the porch, in the process of cutting up some concrete out back, reseeding the “lawn” which is a disaster, I want to paint the shed and my bedroom, and get some stuff organized.
And take a nap thinking about it all.

TOOL ME with an air compressor, nail gun, and kreg jig!
I am looking to fancy up our long hallway of boringness aka The Great Wall of Yawnnnnns. I’d love an air compressor and nail gun to install crown moulding and panelling! And with $500, I’d be able to afford a Kreg Jig as well, to help create a shallow console table to break up the length and add a tiny little bit of storage.
Sarah says
Tool Me!
Recently discussions have been about a nail gun, but with a seventy year old house, we always need something!

PLEASE TOOL ME! I (we) desperately need a nail gun. My husband is all thumbs when it comes to nailing. We were inspired by your recent pics of your hallway project (board and battens). It looks good but it will be some time before I convince my hubby to nail anything. thumbs need to heal!
Meg says
Tool me! The hubs would love a nail gun- and I would love the projects he would tackle with it… I have my eye on some wood planters for by our front door… And chair rail for the nursery since I saw your hallway!
