Boy can I identify with your Mom. All I want for Christmas is a new circular saw mine is at least 35 yrs old and is wanting to retire. My favorite place to shop is Menards. All 4 of my brothers are in the building trades so talking shop is easier for me then talking about 'girly' stuff. When I moved from Ohio to Missouri the 22ft truck I rented was packed but only the front 6 ft of it was household furnishings and appliances.The remaining16 ft were divided with tools and sewing.
