Power tools..

Just for Rushman..
As I have no intention of paying some robbing bastard $20,000 to do up my bathroom I intend to do it myself..
Rushman, as you obviously are an expert on all things 'manly' please advise on which power tools I will need to purchase in order to do this, currently I own a big hammer and a philips screw driver..

thanks.. :D

1st rule of engineering. Your hammer can NEVER be big enough.

BTW, you have two screwdrivers. Its just that one has a little more finesse than the other.

Sorry to be facetious, it isn't tools you need, it is knowledge, skill and experience. You can't buy the last two.

My old man is a builder. I've done construction. I redid my older sisters kitchen for free years ago when she left the chip pan on and set the kitchen on fire. Get Eskimo to do it at the weekend, lazy git!
Plus the tile cement and grout makes a man's hands all rough ;) not like those soft office workers hands.
