Used it quite a bit yesterday, for about 4 hours off and on cleaning up after myself. Was cleaning up sawdust mainly, was able to suck up anything except for nails/screws. Though I haven't had a shop vac that could pick up nails or screws yet. Overall I like it, don't know how much I like it yet. Time will tell.

Are they worth it? Been using the 4.0 AH for awhile, thought about upgrading. Mainly want the 5.0 for my saws and grinder.

Their is a local store near me called Woodcraft, they have some cool stuff in there and it has a woodworking shop.

Its like Toys R Us for me, everytime I go in one I buy something I didn't plan on buying. I love browsing Home Depot or Lowes looking for cool tools or deals on something. The feeling never fails for me, the moment I enter its like christmas morning, thinking to myself as I look around "ooooooooooooooooooooooo" grunting like Tim Allen when I see something I like (not out loud though, people would look at me weird if they heard me just randomly grunting at something).

So I was bored this evening and decided to total everything I purchased from Dewalt in 2014, so here it is.
$2,327 dollars
Take my money Dewalt just take it, release a 20v Finish Nailer and I'll give you more of my money.

Floors, don't think I've worked on one where the floors from the old home work. When tying in my floors, their is always a spot that is higher or lower than my new floor. Everything has been going smoothly and then this one small section of the floor that has to be the new hallway going into the new kitchen which has to be visually appealing and for me, right. This darn spot was out of lvl by 3/4 inches =( happened I think because its in the middle of a 26' long masonry wall that has been cut for new openings to lead into the new kitchen addition.
From the left side of the house in the back where the kitchen used to be is now a mudroom which leads into a small hallway and their to the right is the masonry wall in between the hallway and the dining room on the very right side of the home. The old joist they put in the hallway, they just allowed slots for the joist to slide into but forgot their level there I guess because the mudroom and dining room space is level and matches fine to the new.
Talked about it with the homeowner and he is happy I brought it up and I'm glad he wanted me to fix it because yea I can make it work but..its going to look like crap when hardwood gets installed. So spent about 5 hours on this floor, ripped the hardwood up, the subfloor which was just 1x6 boards (I forget the terminology of what its called sadly, maybe its just 1x6 boards I dunno lol) I cut 1 inch off the joist to nothing over an 8' span since the joist running into the mudroom are level and match new. Used a circular saw to do a fast rip and then finished it with my handy sawzall. Did this to the other 4 joist, sistered them up. Cut the new subfloor and just as I am about to install. Boss shows up and says he wants to change the direction of the hardwood, wanted me to put in blocking every 16 inches across 5 bays. Which is fine but, just more work and more money for the homeowner.
This turned into a rant, sorry about that. That was my day, how was yours?

2014 was the big movement for me towards cordless tools, I was against them in the past cause I felt they can't compete with corded power tools. However, the technology coming out now is amazing. My brand being the Dewalt 20v line of power tools. I'm at a point where the only thing I need a cord for is my Miter Saw, Table Saw, Rotary Hammer, Jack Hammer, Router, and Sanders. Everything else I have in 1 bag, call it my cordless bag.
I've been holding off on buying the Dewalt 18v Finish Nailers cause I think this will be the year they finally release the 20v Finish Nailers (crossing my fingers). I hate cords honestly, they tie you down. Tangle up, you trip over them occasionally. The beginning of each day you set up your cords, your compressor, air hose to the tools you're using and then you pack them up at the end of the day. That's at least near 1 hour each day just setting up and packing up unless you don't bother packing up and leave stuff lying around like a bum.
I love going to the jobsite each day with my cordless bag, setting up ready to go within the first minute cutting material while my fellow buddies(co-workers) are setting up their cords, compressor, etc. They haven't jumped on the cordless bandwagon yet but you know what, they're starting to because some days when its just 2 or 3 of us on a jobsite they don't bother setting up their cords, compressor, air hose, etc. They use what I have and I'm glad they do, they're starting to say "Man I need to get me one of those."
I think this year cordless tools are going to be huge and power cords will be seen less on the jobsite. It will get to a point where the only thing you actually need cords for is your Miter Saw, Table Saw, Jack Hammer and Rotary Hammer (though they have a cordless rotary hammer I don't buy into them yet, they require a lot of power to use long term. I feel like the battery might die fast but I should get one perhaps to try it out. I may be surprised). Everything else you can rely on cordless for (wishful thinking).

The last pic, those red eyes with that grin kinda creeped me out...lol. I like the doll house though =) very thoughtful.

I agree, the fortitude those men had is unreal. I don't know if I would make it in a situation like that, puts an ache in my heart knowing people went through such an ordeal. What's more sad is that people are probably going through the same situation today but, don't really want to get into that. Sorry...
-
Thank you for the feedback, I think I'll invest in one of these. I've never really used a stud finder but they do seem convenient. I'll give it a try, thanks again ^^

Yea, she did a pretty good job I think.

Thought it was a good movie, heart dropped a few times. Thought some parts near the end were strange though but I enjoyed the movie nonetheless. Anyone else see it?
-
Thinking about buying one, not sure though. Is it accurate? Does it work on finding ceiling joist?
Merry Christmas! Hope everyone has a nice holiday. I also hope everyone got what they wanted for Christmas, cheers.

lmao! That's a shame really, hopefully whoever that driver is took some driving lessons by now or his/her license was taken away and their vehicle. They're just going to end up hurting someone...
Coffee Anyone?

I love coffee, thank god for coffee ^^ and that is a fine piece of work. I would buy it, the only thing I don't like is the Keurig though, I have one for convenience. However, I still prefer the drip coffee makers. Grind my own beans and brew it fresh, its the best. Not a fan of the taste of Keurig K-cup coffee. Tried a ton of brands too, just doesn't come close to brewed fresh.
Really like what you made though, ha. Nice job.
