French apartment renovations, Day 643: Flooring, stencils, and another death

We were almost finished laying the flooring for the day...when our table saw died! Resuscitation efforts were futile. No electrical activity present.

This was very inconveniently timed since we had 6 pieces of flooring that had to be ripped to custom dimensions and it is nearly impossible to do without a table saw. I figured out a workaround but we REALLY REALLY need a working table saw.

Which tool will be next???

My mom helped me with stenciling today, and it made the job go very quickly. She did all of the long lines connecting the stencils together as well as the little detail work filling in the "bridges."



We re-made those glass door panels into a tall, narrow door. Once it's sanded and painted, you'll never know that it once was from a door and that the panels used to be side-by-side!
