As I kinda said above the only cutting tool our guy used was a box knife. Although would be an excuse to buy a new tool, never a bad thing.We might look into that but will probably only be able to budget about $400 at most for labor. Depends on materials cost and if I need to buy a cheap miter saw. Cheaper to buy one at Harbor Freight than to rent one and as little need as I have for one an el cheapo should do the job.
