My husband has been hankering for a table saw for the last 5 years and he just hasn’t convinced himself he needs one bad enough to get one. There have been many projects where he says, man, I wish I had a table saw though.
Heidi says
TOOL ME!

Rachael @ramblingsbyrach.com says
TOOL ME PLEASE! Yes. I just yelled that into the computer screen. This girl needs to purchase her first miter saw to work on our house-wide trim replacement project. We started removing the old yucky stuff so now we are committed to replacing it. Especially for our bathroom. Turns out when you remove the trim from both sides of the door you reveal about 2 inches of space between the casing in the wall. We created a bit of a peep show. Whoops!
Ina Niti says
TOOL ME! How to hand bowls that we bought from Turkey onto wallpapered walls? Exactly…We are stumped too. Superglue? It’ll ripped the paper off. Blue tack? The bowls fall off in no time. Heavy-duty double-sided tape. See blue tack. Oh boy…
