Word of The Day
O.R.M. "Operational Risk Management"
The garage is almost complete and so far no incidents...
The following wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done:
There was a 2x6 board sticking out of where the garage door used to be and it needed to be trimmed down in order to get the siding flush. The smart thing would have been to replace the 2x6 before putting up the framing.
So I tried about every type of saw in order to trim this down as much as possible. Every time I pulled the trigger I was waiting for the saw to kick back and fall on my head. Battery powered tools don't have the balls of 120V so I didn't have too much to worry about. Jack did try the 120V circular saw which kicked back instantly...we decided it could turn into a really bad day to try and continue using it. 18V it is.
Many unrequired hours later the board still hung over about an inch and the siding bumps out a little but hey, we're not professionals.
