Reinforcements arrive.

First off, Happy Birthday Heather!

I bought a new reciprocating saw today, a Dewalt one.


The important stats on it:

For comparison's sake, the Chicago Harbor Freight special it is replacing was a woeful 6.5A, and only 2400 strokes per minute.  This is literally twice the saw that the other one was.

I also bought some proper demolition blades.  They were expensive, but shouldn't die as quickly, and more importantly are long enough that they will cut through the ends without having to further strip more cruft out.
