Lessons learned...
I've been on this island for almost two years now and I have learned a couple of things: Read all instructions. If the guy at the store sounds like he's talking out his a**, get a second opinion. Pressure tanks are called that for a reason. Hot water tanks are also under pressure. How To Serve Man is a cookbook. I am terrible at drywall.
I also learned that the table saw really a team sport. The guy next door took off a couple of fingers a few months ago and since then I only use mine if there's somebody else there... perhaps a little overcautious, but I like my fingers where they are. We don't have ambulances and when somebody leaves quickly EVERYBODY knows. Painful, permanently disfiguring AND embarrasing.
My husband gets mad because I don't wear work gloves, but other than that I'm pretty careful. I know my tools pretty well and I try not to venture out of my comfort zone. My project is almost done, I really just need help with some final touches... I'll be posting!
