Market 2 Update 06
Well things are coming along fantastic at the 2nd Market Street Property I am working on. In just two days I primed the whole bathroom, textured the ceiling, painted the ceiling, and painted the walls, and I've started putting tile down and trim, and the accessories such as light switch covers. We also hung two doors and got a bunch of other work done. This bathroom has been a monster of a project, so completing it this week (or nearly so) will be a huge milestone for us.
I've been wanting a nice chop saw. I've had the pleasure of using one of those nice dewalt ones. My real estate mentor loaned me an old one he bought about 30 years ago when he was starting out, and its on its last leg. That thing sucks wood into it, or throws sparks, etc. So I've put up with it, its much better than nothing, or trying to use a circular saw to cut your framing, but this old saw in in no way good enough to cut the miters for trim. So when I was at home depot the other day, I was in the checkout line and lo and behold, they had a Ryobi chop saw for just $109 bucks! I'd never heard of Ryobi and at that price I figured it was pure garbage. But I took a chance and bought it. This thing is not only a very fantastic saw, it has a laser beam to boot! It can cut miters at two angles, and will make my trim perfect. I used it to cut some trim tonight and wow, this thing is going to make the job way faster (used a hand miter box before), but way way better. You really can't shave off 16th of an ince with a hand saw to get the perfect cut. So I'm really happy with my new Ryobi chop saw.
The house is starting to come together though. My mentor warned me of this place being too much and that I'd burn out, but I'm determined to prove him wrong that it was indeed a fantastic investment, and that I'll get it done under budget and under the time estimate. I'm falling in love with this house though, and tempted to just move in, lol. I just need to take the time to renovate my house properly and I'd be more than happy here.
