Dave,
Glad to hear about your wanting to invest in that tile saw. I love ours! Not only when tiling projects come up and the money it saves us, but also when I do some small craft project that only requires a few tiles. I can cut them myself and the job is finished quicker than waiting to get them cut. So far the kitchen has all been tiled, from the backsplash, counter & floor so I think it is already paid for. Like you said, by the time you pay for the rental fees, you might as well buy one! It can always be sold if storing it is a problem.
No improvements here until the tax man finishes up in our town. They are doing the 10 year update, so until they get to our house, nothing that will make the value higher will be started.
I haven't been on here much as I was pretty sick. Now that the meds have finally kicked in, I will try to be more involved. I did try to check in most every day, but usually didn't finish reading the threads as I got too tired. All is better now.
PS The wine is going well. I can hardly wait to start drinking some of it! I have 2 finished and aging and 3 in some stage right now. I will wait til they age as I tried them when I bottled them and they were too "young" for my taste. I even built a temporary storage area for the bottled stuff. I made it out of 2 x 4 's and some molding. I had a huge pile of USPS mailing tubes and cut them in 3's and used them for the bottles for now. I can probably fit about 70+ in it and I have some of the bottled wine in cases on there sides for now. Hopefully it will all fit until I can do it properly. Again, that will wait until the tax man is finished!
