Ryobi Tools
Ryobi Hammer Drill (P251) Ryobi Circular Saw (P508) Ryobi Multitool (P570) Ryobi Tyre Inflator (P737D) Ryobi Pressure Washer (RY120350) Previous Next In order to build our new deck we needed some new tools. When we had moved into out house I had bought a basic consumer grade drill from Dewalt just to do simple things. I own plenty of tools back in my home country and didn’t want to double up on anything I already owned. Well, that little drill that couldn’t, couldn’t.

Essential Winter Items for 0 – 24 months
Layering is the key to keeping warm in winter! Winter is here and we are rugging up~ Our daughter was born in late autumn. Having lived in the subtropical climate all our life, we had no idea how to dress our baby for the Philadelphian winter. Throughout her infancy, we were constantly concerned that she might be cold. After two years of practice, I developed a winter clothing strategy to suit our comfort level (see table above). When dressing our child for warmth, we layer clothing of different warmth level to achieve an overall target value that suit the outside temperature. This minimised the guesswork of getting dressed and allowed…
