Installing high tech devices with low tech tools - kdouglaslee - 07-04-2020
Finally broke down and bought a Nest thermostat for upstairs, decided that I needed to relocate the thermostat. Had to use one of my installation drill bits because I had to drill through a lot of wood to relocate the wires, but then couldn't force the wires through the small hole it makes. Walked downstairs, got a 130 year old augur bit and a brace, had a perfectly sized hole drilled all the way through in no time. Man, that was satisfying.
When I showed the augur bit to my son, he said "is that as nice as something you could get from Lowes?" I chuckled, and said "no, it's way better made than what I could get at Lowes." He said "I didn't know they had manufacturing in the 1800's." Kids these days...
