I love power tools. I’m pretty sure I use them more than Frank, although with the hours he works, he doesn’t have much time to do fun stuff like play with power tools. Now based on this love I have for them, you’d think I would have went straight for them this morning but no, I didn’t.
Today’s project is to put together a raised vegetable garden. I had these composite lumber boards:
. . . that needed to put put into these posts:
I thought hammering a starter hole for a screw into plastic would be pretty easy. It wasn’t. My first attempt with a small hammer got nowhere. My second attempt with a normal sized hammer still went nowhere. The real reason I hadn’t gone straight for the drill is it meant I had to first find the drill. You’d think a drill wouldn’t be too hard to find. It’s not like it’s small. Ah, but if your basement had as much junk in it as mine, you’d understand.
I did find the drill and I even found the drill bits. It’s amazing how easy something is if you have the right tools. Once I had my drill and my little power screwdriver, I had that thing slapped together in no time. Now if only I’d get around to preparing the beds and transplanting everything.
