Man, my impact driver is the one tool I can't live without at this point. They are so versatile - I use it for anything mechanical on the cars, boats, trailers, general household shit, changing tires, anything construction related. Plus, it works as a drill in a pinch.Don't even really need the impact driver. I find a cordless brad nailer way more useful.
I too would consider an impact driver overkill for most needs. I regard impact drivers as part of task specific equipment. Cordless drills have enough turning power for tightening and loosening the vast majority of screws and nuts.Don't even really need the impact driver. I find a cordless brad nailer way more useful.
Do you have access to the area under the squeaky area?We put in engineered hardwood floors a few years ago, replacing old oak floors that had been refinished a few times. They had to put in a new subfloor as the old subfloor wasn't thick enough and likely not up to code and sagging in places. Very happy with how it turned out.
However, since then, a very annoying squeak has popped up. Its in a very high traffic area so I hear it all the time. Not sure what to do.

I love the casual "built a base cabinet" (which happens to be a custom size) comment. I suspect it is probably a higher quality cabinet than average too.We're a week into our new appliances (samsung bespoke line) and loving them so far. The induction range and convection oven are both fantastic upgrades from the cheep electric coil components we had before, and the new dishwasher is nice.
It's so wild what a difference it makes to the feel of the whole space, too. Built a new base cabinet with my dad and installed it on the other side of the oven so there's additional counterspace where there wasn't previously, and it is a MASSIVE improvement. As mentioned in the chat thread, we're in a 1500sf house... every inch of maximized space matters. This 11" gained counter surface is huge.
Next up for the house: new front door. Looking to change to something with window panels, as the front door/entry corner is a black hole of light right now. Getting some natural light into that corner will make a big difference in these rainy/dismal PNW winters.

I can do all things through Kregg, which strengthens me.
Training young troops on wall and floor framing over the weekend down in the free state…I took down half of a 50 year old building today to make room for my apiary. I plan to turn the other half into my bee workshop. Took a chainsaw to the supports and knocked it down with a skid steer. Demolition is always a rush.
We got two new front doors for the new house back in December (we have two main entrances) and they took all our money. There are almost certainly less expensive ways to go about it than what we did, but I am glad we did what we did since there was actually a lot of construction that was required to make them more efficient than what was in there before (and we can tell a major difference), but it was shocking when we got the number.Next up for the house: new front door.

Can you replace with another oven and then get a separate microwave?
