Okay so i've used power tools before, dad had loads them - hammer action drills, circular saws, etc. I've done shelving, drilled holes all that kinda stuff, you know a little knowledge can be very dangerous 'n' all that. But none of it compares to actually walking into a hardware store and asking to purchase your first power drill, with hammer action, keyless chuck, depth guage and laser guided drill bits.... okay i didn't go for the last option, that was just silly. But it was great to walk up, utter the modern yuppy masculine declaration "I'm renovating".
I think the sales guy, who turned out to be a nice enough chap, really thought his luck had come in for the saturday when I uttered my father's famous mantrer (sp!?) "spend good money on decent tools and they'll last for ever"... so I walked out with 800bucks worth of goodies, but I know it'll all last. And of course I can rationalise, I was going to save 1000's by doing the floor replacement myself, and I'd get proper tools out of it... .brilliant!
