Hi all,

I've read a lot of advice here over the years but finally registered today when I felt I had something to contribute to a discussion. The renovation/DIY forums are probably where I'll be found most of the time, but anything involving tools/tech is of interest!

I currently work in the nutrition field but previously sold automotive parts... yes quite a change! Over the years I've had a go at beekeeping, home brewing, playing in a brass band, and working on a small block Chev, and now that I'm a home owner my focus is on home improvements. (plus it's the perfect excuse to buy more tools!!)

Cheers,

Sarah

Invercargill (but still a Cantabrian at heart!)

Welcome to the madhouse.

I'm slowly expanding my arsenal of tools myself, still got a long way to go though!

I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup.

It sounds like that can-do attitude will serve you well with your home improvements.
