My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

I got a wet saw for $5.00 !!!

18 years ago

I am still dancing a happy dance today. Yesterday Jane and I went out to a few thrift stores before I had to go to work for the afternoon shift. We had half an hour left and decided to go to one more for a "quickie".Well Eagle eye Jane spied this old heavy duty rock saw there. She showed it to me and me being so frugal said I just wasn't sure I wanted too spend to much on a saw right now. She went over to the gals who are doing the selling batted her purtty long eye lashes and got a price agreed on of $5.00. Jumpin Jiminy who could walk away from that??? It even has a diamond blade on it. It is real dusty and dirty , needs a good cleaning and the belt adjusted and then it is good to go. I am so amazed that I got such a great score. Hopefuly this weekend I can get it all cleaned up and do a couple of trial cuts.Jane got a really pretty chintz pattern plate for $1.00.I took my saw to work and showed the guys my new score I was so happy, lol.
