A New Tool for the Homestead

I like tools! I think it was Norm Abrams from the old PBS television show, the New Yankee Workshop who said, “Every new project is an excuse to buy a new tool.” I have used that excuse more times than I would like to admit. Most of my tools from chisels to my planer are a result of this of this simple quote.

I have started a new project, building an extension onto my existing chicken run. Instead of driving staples with a hammer for the fence wire, I bought a Bostitch 16 gage pneumatic staple gun. It took me only an hour to staple the wire for one whole side. It is a nice addition to my tool collection.

Who knows what excuse will present itself next?

Cheers, Tim and Joann

Hey!!!! I thought i was the only one who used that excuse. HAHA

I bet saved you a ton of time. Congrats on the the new tool and a finished project.

You never miss a chance for a new tool! Have you heard of a vibrating saw?

I have not heard of that saw. I will look in to it maybe it will go on my list. Thanks.

A new tool is just another investment in the homestead!
