First of all, my power hungry radial arm saw did not like the outside 15amp power outlet.  After tripping the breaker for the 3rd time I found a 20amp outlet in the kitchen and routed the thickest extension cord I could find through the kitchen window out to the patio&#8230;which thrilled Lisa, as you can imagine.  Now that the saw could cut, we thought we were ready to go&#8230;until we went to install the first board.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nUpon getting the first board in place, we learned that my nail gun doesn&#8217;t like 3&#8243; nails, and tended to jam up every 2 or 3 nails.  This is not the way to quickly complete a deck.  So, fast thinking led us back to Home Depot to get deck screws and a new 18v screw gun, as my little 12v DeWalt just wasn&#8217;t going to cut it.  However, that gave us two drills&#8230;one to screw, one to drill pilot holes so that we didn&#8217;t have to keep changing bits.  And, seeing as it was getting late, we also picked up a set of work lights, which I have a feeling will come in real handy over the next few days\/week.  At least I got some new tools out of the deal.<br \/>\nSo only 5 boards are done, but they&#8217;re also some of the longest ones&#8230;so in theory, it should get faster and faster, right?
