Time to Put the Hammer Down

October 7th, 2008

The Garage Will Submit Shortly

It’s an exciting day. Aren’t ALL days exciting? Of course they are. But this one stands out, because yesterday, my ridiculous rotary hammer arrived. This means I can redo the 15-amp 110 circuit some brilliant contractor ran directly to a 60-amp 220 fuse. I get to drill two deep 3/4″ holes in concrete and cinderblocks.

The hammer is kind of scary. And it has several knobs, which means I may have to look at the manual. Yesterday I complained that a contractor had used a rented demo hammer to make a hideous hole in a wall by the AC compressor. I think I understand why that happened. I think the rental people refuse to rent complicated tools to complete idiots, because the rental people lose the manuals, and they don’t want doofuses making dubious guesses. The demo hammer is much simpler. You push button, it go.

I’m psyching myself up, here. I may have to Youtube this for posterity. I think I’ll plug the hammer into the existing defective circuit and see if it burns the house down.
