Cutting a hole in lath and plaster is a pain, and the Sawzall is more likely to crumble a large section as it beats against the wall. I have experience with both, but the last time I used a Sawzall I was 70 feet up a tower cutting an antenna off of a mast. The antenna was probably over a hundred pounds and it banged the tower on the way down. I think we could have been safer about taking it down. Anyway, Jason gave me some specific tips about how he uses a saber saw on lath and plaster (larger foot = less banging on the plaster).<\/p>\n<p>So not only did Jason give me advice on how to cut lath and plaster, he was also giving me dating advice. He kind of told me that a cute pharmacist is probably out of my league, since she sees lots of guys and gets plenty of attention from non-geeks. Oh, well. At least we get  a &#8220;downtown discount&#8221; at the pharmacy since we work downtown.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, there weren&#8217;t many people at the gym.
