Little Helpers
It’s getting a little bit like Groundhog Day around here at the moment. I turn up, I find my pick, I chisel away at a wall and move on. On the next visit, I turn up, chisel away at the wall and move on.
I’m actually making a conscious decision to fit insulation upside down atop the scaffolding just to give me something to break up my day! That said, when Rach and the kids come to see what I’ve been up to they can see the difference which is reassuring. Also, given the pick I’ve been using has now been hammered down to a smooth ball, I concede I should probably splash out and invest in something a bit more fancy. So, after a quick look on Amazon, I opt for a rubber handled double-headed pick with anti-shock technology.
Basically, it’s a plastic-handled pick with slightly more rubber on it!
When it arrives I’m actually quite excited to try it out, which should give you some insight into my life right now and how boring it is to pick out wall after wall with your weekends! It goes through the old mortar like butter and I’ve doubled my productivity, even finding time for a clean up before heading home.
If nothing else, it’s a great example of the difference between being ‘frugal’ and being ‘tight’!
