Yes.  We have the tools now, good stuff we can trust but not overpowered
for our needs.  The circular saw is a nice one for our level of use.  We
dont have a jig-saw yet (some things you can use the circular for, some
are much easier with a jigsaw) but we have most of the needed tools.

HN>Look on Craigslist and you might find tools, and a whole lot more!

The type we needed, arent really smart to get 'used'.  Safety issues.
I'd have taken the FIL's as we know he used the right so they were safe,
but the MIL got rid of the tools he left Don while we were in Japan.

HN>what grade? I can get some URL's for you from some of the teachers in
HN>Anne's district if you want.

I found 'Dr Math' and that helped me out.

HN>One step, one day at a time!

Yup!  All the calls today were after review of many contracts and
estimates.  The only one we didnt quibble was the fireplace.  The local
state farm likes them as known 'good work' and the rest we contacted
backed off when they got read the price of the repair work as they wont
do it for that.  See, we are getting the package deal and using them for
long term service as well.  Something I said to the fellows made them
cut our labor cost down to their minumum rate.  Not sure what it was,
but they liked us, called the boss and talked quietly, then wrote it up.
1,745$ and no one else will touch it for less than 2,800$.  Maybe it was
because I asked them right at the start that after the fixes were done,
if they had an annual inspection and cleaning contract as we needed one
and our old company was no longer in business.  Paid up front for the
inspection and cleaning and they gave us back the cleaning money as so
much rain had come in, it didnt need cleaning.

Overall, a good day.  Dinner came out good enough but Don says he missed
our normal spicing.  Even Charlotte says it was good but needed spices
to be better.  I'll make soup of the remainder but need stock.  It feels
wierd to buy cans of stock.
