The last one In retrospect dumping the salt OUT OF the bags into wheel
barrow ( clean) spreading around the pool with shovel might of been a better
idea, to bad I didn't think of that.

Gotta say, I can live without a power screwdriver. If I didn't have an
electric drill, 90% of the drilling I do I could do with my ancient
Stanley Yankee push drill; in fact at least 50% of the drilling I do I
actually do with it. (why don't they make them anymore?)
But ripping down the length of a plank, let alone a 2X4? With a
handsaw? Or a sabre saw? No way. Gimme circular, even if I do cut my
leg off.

If you don't need both sides of the plank, you'd be amazed
how fast you can get the waste off with a handsaw and
a hatchet.

Hatchet? To use as a wedge so the saw doesn't bind?
