nail gun, but I did not shoot Ken with it, although he was paranoid that I would. Advice to do it yourselfers-don't wait, buy one of these! Why we waited all these years-I love this thing! So much easier to put up trim, boards etc. So thanks to this handy tool we were able to get three windows completely trimmed out as well as some doors. Also hung the wood sheets in the bedroom and finished the beadboard! Successful weekend.
I decided I should call the guy that put the windows in "Butch the Butcher". After finishing out windows and doors I decided he must never measure or use a level. What a nightmare. Trim and paint do hide a lot of sins!
We are suppose to get anywhere from 7 to 24 inches of rain due to the hurricane. If we get 24 inches I will be amazed. Thinking the weather guys will do anything to get more camera time! What a spread in possibilities! So it looks like another week and no septic will go in. We really need water turned on so we can do simple things like mop the floor!

How much was your total cost? I am planning on doing the same thing with a 1536 square feet portable school building. I will buy 1 which is about 800 square feet to convert to a resturant and the 1536 Sqaure feet building I will convert to living quarters.
I think all total we spent around $7-8k. We were able to use window units for AC so that kept cost low. The highest costs were electrical and plumbing. We of course had to add windows, floors, kitchen, etc. Craigslist saved us a lot of money as did finding windows very cheap at Lowes. Watch in the back of Lowes, they have an area where they place and mark down custom ordered windows. Since we had to frame them out we did not care about size.
Best of luck-you will be glad you did this. We rent ours out as a cabin and it has paid for itself already.
