"Avoid Splintering & Make Curved Cuts With a Circular Saw - Video"
Do you have a circular saw, but you avoid making difficult cuts with it. Or have you ever wondered why your cut edges splinter? Well, in this video you'll see that a circular saw is a more versatile power tool than you might think. These tips from Tim Carter of AskTheBuilder.com will help you get more out of your circular saws and make better cuts. For example, you can get a smooth line if you cut an initial 'guide groove' to follow your cut with. This helps to avoid splintering if you cut against the grain. With the propers settings, you can also cut curves with a circular saw. See this AsktheBuilder.com video below for details.

The springs on the garage door were fixed, and work great, but I was quoted $100 for one spring, $150 for 2, but I was billed $295.00. I was told someone would be here around or shortly after 11:00am, but they didn't show up until 1 something, and the job wasn't done until almost 5pm. My front screen door was left to blow in the wind, and completely came undone from the door jamb, so I was told he would fix it, but he didn't. I was looking forward to having a reliable handyman we could call for other jobs, but I would not call this one again.

We were very pleased with Silva's Services Inc. and their work on our kitchen and bathroom. They demo'd our existing tile in both rooms and installed ceramic tile on the floor/walls. Mr. Silva worked diligently and was very committed to completing the job; he worked over a three-day weekend for us. We found his services to be reasonably priced and Mr. Silva to be a very honest proprietor. We highly recommend Silva's Services and would readily hire Mr. Silva again.

Easton Painting is extremely flexible with timing and prompt. The quote was reasonable and timely and 'no pressure' tactics. The finished job was excellent! To give you an idea - the job was the entire upstairs of a large old farmhouse with several years of neglect. Just as important as the finished work, the time they spent in our home was all I could ask of a professional. They were prompt, gave updates each day as to progress , and cleaned up after themselves each day! The entire process with Easton was a pleasure. We'll do again.
