Sooo…window trimmed in…siding up…you’ll notice the bottom glass is clean…SO clean in fact, that air hose and extension cord pass right through it! (a situation I’ll possibly correct next weekend).

Our first casualty on this project…my Skil Saw. An actual Skil brand Skil saw even.
Dead. Spectacularly dead in point of fact.
