RE: newbie cable issues + no brainer questions

["Alex Monaghan" <alex@xxxxxxx>]

The JCB from Argos seems to be fine, the extra speed that can be found
by
using an SDS is amazing, I did my 3rd room the other weekend and put in
5
more sockets than the previous room and finished (the messy bit anyway)
in
half the time.

PS a circular saw for cutting floor boards also saves a lot of time
(unless
you're better at floor board lifting than me)
