Minimal tools for insulating a large basement and adding coving?
Hi all, I’ve been slowly renovating my house, and I have two remaining major tasks. Firstly, I’d like to insulate my basement, which will involve cutting (probably a lot of) insulation boards. For this, I’m thinking I would probably need a table saw, unless there is a cheaper way to do it. For the tiles, I believe I’d need a dedicated tile cutter, as it doesn’t seem like table saws can handle this. For the coving, skirting boards etc I guess I’d need a mitre saw? The insulation boards are too large for a mitre saw. I’ve also been told I need a shop vac to cut down the dust. Is this substantially different from a regular vacuum cleaner? Is there a way to avoid buying $1000 of machinery for this? submitted by /u/12underground [link] [comments]
