Well, we've officially killed our first tools. Yesterday my poor loyal Dremel tool decided to bite the dust (literally) while cutting openings in drywall. With a blood-curdling shriek and an awful smell, it left us to use a utility knife to cut holes for outlets. Luckily, we only had one more to do!
Then this morning, Marji's (Amy's mom) drill also died as we were drilling holes to mount shelves in the dining area. Guess old house wood can be pretty tough, huh? I felt bad since they were kind enough to drive down from Connecticut to help us with our never-ending To-Do list. Thankfully we had a few extra drills.
Two tools in two days... this house is starting to take its toll!

Aye...old house wood will kill tools. I've gone through 2 cheap cordless drills, one miter saw, a reciprocating saw, 9 circular saw blades, countless "Sawzall" blades, and a 1/2" hammer drill.
I'm sure there's more, but I'd rather not remember....
