Thank You Gather For The Saw~~~A Huge Photo Story!

Stepping over all the puddles, I made it to my van.

Then, It happened, I got a soaker! It wasn't too bad so I carried on.

and while backing out of my driveway, I had to cross even more giant puddles and small rivers.

It seems like today was Mother Nature's day for clearing out the snow to make room for more snow! (This is Michigan we're talking about for God's sake! LOL)

Some of this standing water is about 6" deep!~

Since I don't live too far from the airport and it was almost 50 degrees out I went for a drive with my brother.

I was able to catch a few nice shots of planes landing when I stopped at a closed gas station for a few minutes!

Then I saw some wood and that made a good photo too!~

So after visiting with my brother Curt (Monkshood to all you Gather people who know him here) and going thrift shopping for a few I thought I would stop by Home Depot to see what I could see!

I have watched a few shows lately about people cutting rocks with saws and having them turn out awesome1 I got the bug in me and went to the tile saws. I found a Husky saw for $198.00! The associate asked if I had a HD charge? I of coarse didn't and he offered that if I got a charge, they would give me $25.00 off my first buy and I could spin this wheel for more savings. I spun and got another 10% off! So After turning in my HD gift cards from Gather, my $25.00 and my 10% I only paid about $30.00 for the saw!

This is a top view of my new saw.

The front where the switch is and the tank inside that holds the water for the blade.

So I overfilled the tank at first and flooded my kitchen table and rug! Then I turned it on without the blade being covered by the shroud and had my own spring bath! I got covered in water from the blade! It was so funny that we all laughed until we cried!~

Then I got a piece of tile and tried it out!

I couldn't believe how fast the saw cut the tile! It took less than a minute to have a clean cut thru and thru!~

This is the laser on the cover of the blade! (A NEW TOY!~)

This is a shot of the diamond tipped blade!

So I got this idea to go outside and find a rock I could cut. I thought, "if it would cut some tile why not a rock?"

I cut right through it like it was nothing! What a thrill!~

This is the end of the rock where I made the cut.

This i the piece I cut.

And another look at the piece I cut.

So, Thank you Gather for the awesome rock cutter I was able to get because of your fine site!

Now I'm off to comment, post, and gather more Gather points to save for my next big purchase!

God bless and I hope I kept you entertained for a minute or two!~
