You know, the thing about a 73-year-old house is that it can be funky. I started on the floor only to find that there’s an inch gap on on one end. :smack: So I went to the corner I started in and put up the square. Yup. It’s off about a sixteenth of an inch. Rats. That means I’ll have to rip the flooring next to the wall lengthwise.

I _new_ I should have gotten a table saw as well! Oh, well. The arm gets a workout today.

We have a table saw for sale with extra blades, $50. you pick up. 😃 (e-mail me if…)
