Feel The Power

Lately it seems like we haven't been up to much; and at the same time, it seems like we've been up to everything.  That said, we finally got around to doing something that we've been talking about for quite a while.

One of our wedding presents was a gift certificate to Sears for tools (thanks Jeff & Julie!). It was the perfect gift. Benj loved it, and so did I because who doesn't need a hammer, screwdriver, measuring tape, level and so on? We did saunter down the power tool row, but decided we'd better buy the basics first and save the power tool purchase for later.

We've gone to the hardware store a bunch of times since then, and we always look at the power tools. I'm surprised we haven't caved to the need to own one before now, but the day finally came.

Behold, the power tool!

Benj loves it. And I love watching him use it. Plus, it was a huge bonus when it came to one of our most recent projects... square foot garden boxes, but that's for another post! At this point though, bring on the home improvement projects & never, ever get between a man and his power tools!
