Re: Millers Falls Breast Drill No 97

This thing is sweet. Not only is it two speed, but it's variable speed as well. I get a laugh out of people who have forgotten about hand tools. Yankee screwdrivers, push drills, and even hammers have become things of the past. I guess you could say acutal carpenters are becoming few and far between as well. How many modern day framers could actually cut a 2x10 accuratley with a hand saw?

Re: Play Fine Homebuilding's Game "The Inspector"

I am a building inspector, and this game kicks my ass. Seriously, how am I to tell that the chimney is not flashed properly from a photo taken @ ground level from so far away? I'm here to tell you though, that the door to the basement needs a landing. I don't know how many points I lost clicking on the door and threshold.
It looks like the house is in snow country, in which case there should be snow splitters @ the vents & flues on the roof.
