But can I use it for scrapbooking?

Being married for 11 years to a guy who knows A LOT about the construction world, and has spent his whole working life involved in it in some form, means that I've learnt a fair bit too.
I've learnt the difference between a skill saw and a mitre saw, a phillips screwdriver and a roberts, (although referring to them as stars and squares still seems simpler to me!)
I know the difference a triple pane window can make, and why PVC is a better choice for our climate. I know that J channel is not a perfume by Jennifer Lopez or Chanelle, and I know that as funny as it sounds, there really is a brand of toilet called Crapper. I know a lot just from hearing Dustin talk about it.
So when he told me he was going to buy a Sawzall, I shouldn't have right away thought "Like a Cuddle bug?!? Or Sizzix?!" You know, those great cutters for scrapbooking and paper crafts?
I should not have been all excited.

Turns out, a Sawzall is a wall shredding machine! It can cut through nails and the whole bit - which is a huge time saver when we're taking walls down with our renovations.
And really, you cant blame me for not having heard of such a tool. We've always put material up, not taken it down when working on houses in the past.
So I learnt something new!

The only question I still have though, is can it be used somehow for scrapbooking?! With a name like that, it really should!
