NERemodeling

Well Nalu, I guess you answered your question... you aren't too old!! Nice work man and congratulations

Yup. The only downside i's the 2k + price to do front and rear.. you know how many tools I could buy with that money

Nate, that is slick man!! You got some skills

I.don't know what they usually go for but that looks like a solid saw for 600.. as long as it has a square and solid fence then I say go for it

Haha. Creative. I'll give him that. That technically works! And look on the bright side, your top landing is bigger now!! If your good with it then roll with it, otherwise give the property manager some hell

3.08 Can you believe that shit!! I'm sure they put those in to pump up their highway epa numbers

Damn. 9k!! That's just stupid. Why would they even design it like that.. Didnt the powerstroke have head or head gasket issues a while back also? My buddy had one and was always nervous about it I'm a GM fan straight to the core so I would have to go duramax if I was gonna. I do have a lot of respect for the Cummins also. Amazing engine .. powerstorke..... ehh. Hahaha. Just busting Sounds like you have a sick truck Diesels have always tempted me but I never could justify it. My 1500 5.3l pulls my approx 7000 lb trailer just fine for how much I tow I do have an intake exhaust and tune also. Wanna swap gears to 3.73 soon. After I upped my tires things got a little sluggish. No where near 700hp though!! Haha

I can totally see the appeal of vans and can probably see myself being in your shoes one day as things expand. My truck is my work and personal vehicle so it's nice to have the truck for that.. the trailer really just hops from house to house for me which means it can sometimes be in the same place for months... it would be nice to have a van for material runs when the weather isn't great and also to just have a second set of essential tools in. That way I wouldn't have to drive to where my trailer is if I wanted to do a small job somewhere else. All in due time I guess... My dad is a painter and has always had savana/express vans. When he just bought his new van about a year and a half ago I really pushed him to consider a new style van but he was to stubborn!! He really didn't want anything smaller than a v8 which I found so weird because he never even tows anything.. he just doesn't understand what these new vehicles are capable of I guess. Old dog!!

Now the good thing is the fuel gauge 5ah will come dowe in price!

Korno, I think you made a post about makita 6ah batteries but when I try to open it it takes me to the TIA homepage.. not sure if there is something messed up with the post or if it's only me having problems.

Is there anyway to still see that video or is is gone. I'm not up on this periscope stuff..

I agree. What's up with that blurry background! The saw looked nice though.. sounded good, seemed plenty touquie and had a nice blade brake... I would love to see a full review of the saw by itself.. Thanks for posting the video bee-man

Yeah. It's a hassle customers shouldn't have to deal with though. Oh well.

Awww. Thanks man, seriously I really do appreciate it!! Yeah, just think of how much swag you could load on my wheelchair! You have a good idea there

Don't worry Chris! I got love for you bro.... just don't flake on us this year.

Thanks man. Feeling better every day.. doc just ordered an MRI of my elbow today though because that's the only thing that really isn't improving.. it's got some messed up internal joint issue..

I sensed some genuine caring mixed into all the joke's so thank you for that! I appreciate the love man.. your right, bike accidents are no fun.. cars hurt! I personally would love to ride again but I know my wife will never get back on and rides with her was a large part of why I had the bike.. you think a lot about life priorities when you walk away from something like that.. bike isn't on the top of that list for me at this point.... old hot rod, dirtbike, jet ski, snowmobile.. those are all still very high on the list!! Haha. I still gotta have fun right?!?! You know I wouldn't leave you hanging at JLC!! I could have been a full cripple and as long as I could still drink and you would be willing to wheel me from bar to bar I would be in!! Hahaha We aren't letting chrisK back out!! No way.. he said he was coming and he will even if I have go drag his ass there.. you hear that chris!! You know I never put much about the long term security of my tools in the event of my passing... wow I can't believe I let that one slip.. I'll make sure to add you to my will.. my attorneys will be in touch

You lost me on that one comp! Haha. I'm gonna jump it back to "pipe threaDer" you must have plans for an addition to your house on the brain.. Pipe bomb

If you can wait until sometime early 2016 makita is releasing a monster to put all other impact wrenches to shame! Mmmmwwwwwwahahahaha (evil laugh for added effect!! Haha)

I know right. Buying tools used to be simple. Just pick the best one, plug it in and use it.. Haha.

You might want to give the property manager a heads up of what you know now and that you wanto the entire staircase replaced and built the correct way instead of him trying to pass off another hack patch job on you..

Nice buy Paul. IL still using a pickup and a enclosed trailer.. a carpenter friend of mine email and also my electrician both bought similar vans this year (promoter and the nissan nv2500) they both are coming from pickups and rave about them.... I don't think it's for me. Maybe as a second work vehicle or if I have a second crew running one day, give it to that crews foreman. For now though I usually can just leave my enclosed trailer right on site for the duration of the job and then drive my truck back and forth.. that way too, if I'm not on site all the tools are still there and guys can be getting work done without me..

I am seriously speechless. Damn!!! Sick score man!

Ooh and after that I forgot to say... the guy is definitely a hack and that is not at all acceptable!!! Hahaha

PaulE is right but its not another issue, it's THE issue.... the stringers are cut completely wrong, you have one to many treads in there.. in order for him to make them meet the concrete where they do he should have eliminated the one tread and lengthened the run (horizontal tread depth) of each tread. As the railing is now, he actually has it in the correct location for that framing (albeit wrong) if he were to just drop the top down to the correct location the railing wouldn't run parallel to the stairs and if he cuts down the lower post and drops the top then the railing will be to short... Notice how the lower post is fixed to the front edge of a tread and the top post is set way back.. that might help explain the problem. By eliminating that top step, the deck becomes the top step and now the post is in the correct location. The only way to fix it is for him to remove the railings and stairs and start over (he should be able to reuse most of the materials.. Probably not the stringers though If you need more explanation let me know and I'll try to help more (If you want shorter step heights for each step he could also recut them with the same number of steps and the same horizontal tread depth but just shorter vertical step height. Just another option incase you find those steps to tall each step)
