A Roto Rooter technician managed to clear the main line after a ton of work and resorting to a 1-inch blade (apparently, they usually use only 6- or 3-inch blades due to risk of pipe damage).

Not much more work than formica (other than the plywood on top of the cabinets, and using a grinder with a diamond blade).  

You may be able to get by with just periodically adding some dirt and having a box blade run across it .  

Someone had mentioned Meganite to us as a solid surface option that was also easy to work with and install (Cuts can be made with carbide saw blades, etc)  Also, the prices look really good.....I did a search here and did not find a single mention of Meganite.  

Antonio is able to draw his sword just enough so that the advancer falls on the blade.

If you are removing stubborn hardwood that is glued to the subfloor and nothing else is working... set the blade depth on a circular saw to the depth of the flooring and cut the flooring into 1ft squares. 

He'll need that much for the house just to replace all of those band saw blades.  

Whereas the opposite side of the blade is too much self education.

If not, take a sawzall with a long blade and make a vertical slit all the way down the lead and then chisel it out.  

Are supplies such as paint brushes, blades, and other miscellaneous tools and supplies used to fix up the place deductible in the current year, or do they get added to the basis of the property and deducted with the purchase price along with other material used in the fix up?
