Crap, I am a horrible planner. I took today & tomorrow off to get things done around the house that have been piling up.

I need to finish up putting the wood in the hallway. I have this B&D cordless saw (linked below). The stupid battery is dead and I can't cut any of the wood. So, do I go off to Lowe's and buy a corded circular saw, or see if someone has one I can borrow? Either way, hall completion is delayed.

I also need to take a bunch of the old carpet that I've had in the garage for years (and the one I ripped up from my daughter's room last week) to the landfill. I need to get a Uhaul, but neglected to reserve one. Now the closest one is a bit far away, and the $20/day is nice, but then it's $0.70/mile. It's going to end up costing me like $100 to throw carpet away.

*sigh*

I just want to sit around and play video games all day on my day(s) off.

Responses:

you can rent a truck from homedepot or lowes. a corded saw will probably be cheaper than a new battery, depending on the type. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 20, 07:50 1

Could you rent the saw from HD? Sanitation doesn't take carpets? - Krusty Oct 20, 07:41 2
- No, unfortunately. It's "construction debris," and it's a *lot*. Like, 3/4 of my house. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 20, 07:43 1
  - Ahh. You could rent the saw but it sounds like the carpet is going to be an issue. -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 07:44
Can you rent a vehicle from Home Depot or Lowe's for an hour to haul the carpet? -- nm - bc/nc Oct 20, 07:37 4
- Don't they charge by the mile, too? -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 20, 07:39 3
  - I thought it was around $20 or so an hour. The catch, IIRC, is that they loan it out when you have stuff to transport from - bc/nc Oct 20, 07:45
  - right, sure. but they're closer. aren't they? -- nm - amanda Oct 20, 07:44 1
    - no, one of the uhaul places are closer. -- nm - BloodyAxeSean Oct 20, 07:45
