Tool you most recently used?

[911 Rod]

I moved my home on the weekend.
Funny how you can get things done with the least amount of tools as everything is packed.
I must have used my cordless impact gun to remove a couple hundred screws holding things to the wall. Remember when we used a regular screwdriver for this?

I used the Lincoln 180C welder.

I was getting quite good by the time I finished the job.

[Rapewta]

Klein Circuit Tracer. Don't use it anymore because of retirement but a neighbor lost some wall plugs. Was a burned off neutral in a plug.

Wiring additional lights in the storage area under the house.

I went with 5/8 because it is thicker and the fire rating is double 1/2-inch standard drywall. My 95-yr old house is all plaster and pretty much soundproof. I wanted thicker drywall because it feels thicker/more solid (like plaster). I went with the green, moisture resistant because this is the kitchen. The cost is a little more but in total, $250 for the room. 1/2 inch would have been about $175. And for extra sound proofing, I insulated the walls before installing.

I will be hand troweling the texture to match the plaster look like the rest of my house.

That makes sense. Thanks for the follow up.

My little sound system to amplify my old Yamaha FG580 and my voice as I spent a couple of hours entertaining the fire fighters who have been working to control the wild fires in western Nova Scotia for the past 7 weeks.

This week used my plasma cutter, my wire feed, drill press, skill saw, mini-impact, drill, rotohammer and a number of hand tools. Mostly I used 3 friends you could consider tools, and one of their wives today to raise the new boat port.

Got some 1.75"x1.75"x.065 box steel and some thicker material for the base plates with the wind I get up on the top of the hill. Fortified 8 of the 10 posts. Will likely finish up by saturdee including moving some of the rock around, and am adding some side pieces of corrugated metal that did not come with the kit for the sides for shear strength and to direct the wind around it some.

Not worked this hard in years.

My neighbor that keeps goats will pick cougars up on his security cameras every few weeks. That's Bax, the yellow one in the photos, he'll be 12 in January, and has the heart of a lion....

Makita cordless. It is now late October and time to swap out the summer tires for all weather. Got 3 cars done, torque set, air pressure set, TPMS trained, good to go!

[A930Rocket]

Dewalt driver & circular saw, and my old Estwing hammer. Built another enclosure, so the neighbors would not see the dreadful dumpster. I like to use the torx screws to assemble it, so I can take it apart easier, versus nailing with my Paslode.

Tomorrow, I will hang the green screen.

She done per the instructions.... Will hook the blade to the quad tomorrow to move some rock around to get the water from off the cover to land in rock so my iron rich dirt does not splash on the boat or trailer..


Looking to put some sides on it...

[oldE]

Electric fence tester, adjustable wrench, fence tightener and a short piece of jumper wire.

Dewalt palm sander.. I really like this tool! The power stack batteries I'm using with it last for quite a while too. I was using my chorded palm sander and got tired of dealing with the chord. I'm sanding 60 1x6x16 T&G boards before putting a sealer on them. This thing has made the job less annoying.

Big things happening over here on the boat cover.....

After using my Johnson & Torpedo levels I proceeded to determine the angle of the roof slope. I matched the Johnson revealed that ended up being some metric junk that worked out to like a 4.7" per foot of fall. So, I matched that angle by digging out my 40 y/o stair stops and locked it in. Used that to set up the plywood plumb cuts, found my 10 gal shop vac tub was the perfect circumference for the roof transition. Plumb cuts, traced my cardboard sample for the transition putting the skill and jig saw to work.


Never did update the side panel add to you guys, my buddies... got them for $28 for 3x10 and they worked perfect...

Tractor again. This time to haul the little sailboat up the creek bank and lift one end so it could be inverted on its winter storage rack. Then I used it to haul the 12 foot aluminum boat I found up to the yard so I can figure out how to get the dents out and make it ready for the water again. All of the hauling was done on grass. No boats were harmed in this exercise.
