  1. I'm not too concerned about it. Cutting, shaping and polishing the granite is what makes me nervous.
  2. The sink is set! Need to hook up the disposal and reset the face frame.
  3. All cut and polished to 400 grid. I had a lot of extra work undercutting the bullnose and the decking so I didn't get finished with the polishing. I'm going to hit the newly cut edge with some densifier/hardener tomorrow then finish polishing up to 10,000 grit.
  4. Bought my wife a new Kohler apron front sink for Christmas and I was tasked with doing the swap out. It's going to be an interesting task.
  5. Roughly 75,000 miles. On a diesel, it wasn't even broken in yet. Many 6.0L, 6.4L and 6.7L powerstroke owners have reported similar results on another forum that I'm a member of. Amsoil had such poor oil analysis numbers we began to call it "scamsoil"
  6. I'm not sold on Amsoil. I put it in my 6.4 powerstroke once, ran an oil analysis at 5,000 miles and the wear numbers were double and triple what they are with Rotella T-6.
  7. It's pretty easy to dispose of oil for me. Every autoparts store including Walmart will take it for free. I recently discovered that waste management has a special service called AtYourDoor where they will pickup automotive fluids free of charge. It's a lengthy process to schedule it out, but I plan accordingly. I have a pickup scheduled for Jan 11 right now for all my fluids from my recent PM.
  8. I absolutely love my EGO 21" SP mower. I started off by picking up the 20" on clearance this summer and ended up selling it within 45 days and going with the 21" SP. I count be happier with it and I have no complaints whatsoever. I have a thick St Augustine lawn and it worked great on that. I planted Rye for the winter and it works amazingly well on the thinner rye grass. That's both end of the spectrum when it comes to grass types. I have roughly 5500SF of turf and I can EASILY mow everything twice, maybe 3 times if I don't use the SP.
  9. My December maintenance repair I've performed on my own truck: Oil & filter change Fuel filters Replace Body mount bushings Replace shocks Replace steering stabilizers Coolant flush Rear dif fluid change Front dif fluid change. Steering stabilizer change Fuel cooler maintenance.
  10. I don't see why they would make an exclusively 20v pack with more than 5.0ah. It's just double production.
  11. I have this set. Its a fantastic set for small electronics, phones, tablets, etc. it was the only set I found that had the torx for a kindle. http://low.es/2cRzrvl
  12. They really are great as long as you're not trying to get one by on them. Took my 4.0 battery in this morning that wouldn't charge. They swapped it out for a 5.0 because that's all they had in stock.
  13. $300 is 30,000 pennies. I think I'll take one of everything!
  14. I didn't even read the whole thing and I can tell you it's a scam. I often get bored and replay to these scammers and waste their time and resources. They send forged checks from out of state for more than the item asking you to send the extra money via MoneyGram to the "freight company" for pickup of said item. SCAM SCAM SCAM.
  15. This is called the "Workshop Rack." I'm wondering if they're will be a separate mobile solution in the future.
  16. Yes, it is a disappointment in quality. If you really break it down, these can still be great units for light to mid weight tools and accessories. Let's look at the weigh capacities.... are the 176 lb brackets overkill? How much can you realistically get into a Tough Box and still comfortably lift the box up and put it into the brackets? These less expensive brackets, based solely on math, should be rated up to 88lbs. So, in the most aggressive situation, i.e.; trailer, you should be able to put 50-60 lbs in the boxes no problem and the jolting around in the trailer will keep it under 88lbs of gravitational force. Let's say you do have a box or two that you absolutely need to put more than the 88lbs, it will most likely be an XL box and surely that box will be either set on the ground or the deck of your trailer. In summary; we had high expectations because those that use the system already, know how sturdy and heavy duty the brackets were and we didn't consider DeWalt re-engineering the brackets for another part of the same system. You have to ask, are the 176 lb brackets really necessary for YOUR situation?
  17. Thought you may get a kick out of this.
  18. I have a 2010 F250 King Ranch 6.4 as my personal truck and a 2016 F250 as my work truck.
  19. 440 lbs for the system. Come with 5 pair of brackets so 88 lbs per pair. The old brackets are rated at 176 lbs per pair. Exactly half of the rated capacity.
