Yeah, I Went With A Reciprocating Saw In The End.

I actually had to buy a grass-strimmer. On account of the existing one finally breaking, becoming part of that haul of precious metals I donated to the yokel Soviet during COP30.

It turns out there's not much demand for garden tools in December. So if you're prepared to give them some money to take one out of their warehouse for them, chances are they'll let you take another out for free.

I don't need a reciprocating saw enough to buy one. However if someone's going to give me one for free I'm not going to actively stop them.

It means I really will have to get these Screwfix plans underway though. Even I think power tools and Airfryers make for odd interior decor. Until I get the previously stacked kitchen cabinets sorted the Airfryer is actually sitting on my desk, next to my P.C. Which looks every bit as distractingly bonkers as it sounds.

Of course it all attempts to recall the Super Bowl Half-time Show 2022. The question of what type of full-size saw I need to cut those whacking great suspended floorboards. The ones needed to replace the ones destroyed after a single washer froze on the water supply pipe to the cistern for the gas-fired boiler central-heating system in the grandmother's house.

I'm feeling pretty confident that the same situation hasn't been occurring right above my bed for the last four months.

In fact most of the pipework in my house is exposed, or easily exposed via access panels. The exception being the underground bit which was professionally replaced back in August.

So even Sydney Sweeney, up there in her helicopter, can probably be pretty confident that situation hasn't been occurring for the past four months either.
