Power Tools!

I never would have thought it would take this long to build a decent chicken run and coop. But, I'm just learning how to build some things and just getting used to some of our power tools.

Today, I mostly used our Porter Nail http://www.epinions.com/content_70965366404Gun. We bought it last fall when we were putting together our garden shed. I was scared to use it then, but now, I'm very comfortable with it - you just have to understand how it all works. And you have to understand that it quits working when there are 5 or fewer nails left.

The first time that happened, I spent several hours trying to figure out why the nailer would no longer work. Checked the compressor. Put oil in the nail gun. took the 4 nails out and put them back in. Still wouldn't work.

Today, I thought that maybe it just wanted more nails. I put them in, it worked! Woo hoo!
