Make sure the watch you are relying on is set to the correct time.
Today we tore down the bricks the wood stove hearth on the third floor. To do this we first attempted with hand tools but realized quickly that it wasn't too reasonable. So we found out that Home Depot offers a great tool rental program.
This morning we woke up early, fed ourselves a delicious hearty breakfast at Brothers (a classic must go to in Wakefield). Then went to Home Depot to rent an electric demo hammer drill for four hours for a total of $35. Not to bad, we thought. We had estimated it would only take 4 hours to do this job.
Tylan had me set my watch alarm for 1:15pm which was 3:45 hours from when we rented the tool to make sure we returned it on time. We knew it would be loud with a drill so we thought the wrist watch was the best option to keep us on schedule.
Well all was going well until I looked at my watch and saw that we only had 15 minutes left and still had to pull up the entire base! We looked at each other and decided that we might as well take a water break. Tylan decides he should call to ask how much it would be to rent tool for longer...
This break went on for about 13 ish minutes before I realize that I never changed my clock for daylight savings time! We still had a whole hour left!
Well to not make a short story long, we finished up the entire thing minus the clean up in the four hours we estimated EVEN with my silly Windows 95 mistake!
