And So it Begins . . .

Tonight a set of sockets was purchased from Sears. It was a good deal and the sale ended at 9pm EDT tonight. No doubt the first of many tool purchases "necessary" to the completion of the project.

I draw the line at sheet metal fabricators.

We just finished putting every little socket in its place. Well, I can't guarantee that some of the 12 points are mixed in with the 6 points (especially in the teeny tiny sizes).Who knew there were SOOOOO many different types of sockets. Clearly this is going to be a learning experience for my mechanically challenged mind. The bummer was we got everything placed only to realize that the smallest handle (?) (ok so I haven't learned THAT much) was missing. What are the chances Sears will believe us when we go back and say "This one didn't come with the set even though it is listed on the packing list."

Nah, didn't think so either.
