    All jokes aside, I've been going power sprayer crazy the last couple days and it's really addictive. Last month I stripped the paint off the inside of a garage, and this week I've been spraying my decks. Today I was spraying for a while before I noticed my neighbor's window was open. Oops. Anyone else have a favorite?

    My friend had an electric chain saw, and he was struggling to cut down a tree. I'm sure a gas model would have been better. Anyhoot I went over there with a Porter Cable recipocating saw with a 12" blade with big teeth. Cut through the tree like butter. It's a tool worth every penny, I've used it cutting wood/metal, demolition, inside/outside.

    But my favorites are my nail guns and 18v drill. I hate pounding and screwing. (with hammers/screwdrivers!) :)

    Mine would have to be a nailgun. It is perfect for roofing jobs, or for killing your secretary and abusing women ala American Psycho.

    An oxy-acetylene torch and a bunch of scrap titanium can make for an amusing afternoon.

    the one in my pants, of course.







    seriously, nail guns are really fun to shoot, and chainsaws are fun to use to see how much crap you can destroy. I'm more of a demolition man than a builder.
