IMAG0001

A couple of years ago I demonstrated a technique to cut a fascia miter on site with
a hand held cabinet flush cut saw when I climbed up on a roof with a camcorder
in tow and taped (in somewhat Bob Villa fashion) an actual repair in the field.

Never at a loss to risk my life for the benefit of my viewers, this spring
I repeated the previous performance, this time atop a 30 foot extension ladder
with a power tool in one hand and a small Vivatar Camera in the other.
(With my third hand I firmly grasped the ladder of course!)

It is impossible to say too many good things about this marvelous invention- the
oscillating multi-tool and I have posted several examples of it at work on the job.

So enjoy this, my latest adventure, as I document a common repair in the life of a
Fixit Guy.

As always, remember this is a demonstration, not a tutorial.

Contact an experienced local woodworker if you need help with this type of repair.

HERE, OF COURSE, IS A LINK TO THE VALUABLE MULTI-TOOL

In a previous episode almost exactly a year ago it was hot! It was humid!

The dew point was in the mid 60’s!

Regardless, I repaired a deck in need of a long overdue refurbishment.

Imagine my surprise as I went back to the future last week when another deck
in need of a long overdue refurbishment appeared on the assignment list!

And yes, it was hot! It was humid! Summertime in Raleigh!
