While Santa brought me beautiful jewelry and an entire store of Bath and Body Works, Santa brought Matt some things to help cross to-do's off of our list.
On the left is a Black and Decker sander with "Smart Select Technology." That is a fancy term for the fact that you can change out the base for different jobs depending on what you need to sand. It was $59.97 at Lowe's. That was a pretty middle of the road price. We do take price into consideration when purchasing items for our home (we aren't millionaires) and it usually ends up with a process of looking at what our dream item would be, looking at what we think is a cheap aka bad quality that we are going to have to replace, and end up with a middle of the road "good quality item," as cousin Eddy would say.
The other item is a book (shocking I know) from Popular Mechanics on trim carpentry. I was purusing through the local Half Price Books store looking for carving books for my grandpa (they do not exist by the way) and found this handy little number. Matt has been dreading fixing the trim in our laundry room because he is not an expert on trim work. Hopefully, this will help! The best part is that the book was way less than half the list price on the book ($19.95) and I scooped it up for $5.97...score!
Well, what about you? Did Santa bring you everything you wanted? Did he bring something to fix up your home? Let me know!
