tool (wo)man

I've taken up gardening. Container gardening that is. The plastic containers I bought need holes drilled in the side to let the water out. Didn't know that when I bought them.

So I bought a little battery powered drill. At least I thought it was a drill. Turns out it is really an electric screwdriver. It has a Philips screw thingy on it that I thought was a drill bit.

I went back and bought drill bits. I bought the biggest one. It just whirled around the container's surface and didn't do a thing. Seems I need to make a little hole first with a small bit and then graduate up to a big one. Back to the store.

Oh the vagaries of tooling!
