  1. Thanks. Still have a lot lot planned for the project. More pics and updates coming soon. Lol
  2. No doubt, I think I'm going to be best friends with the guys at the HD rental desk very soon. .
  3. Nice. No worries on the time, just plan everything out and save the money while you're waiting.
  4. That's cool. Springfield MA is about 10 miles over from where I live,
  5. My wife is getting double duty. Breakfast - Waffles with Strawberry's and whipped cream with Hash Browns and Sausage. Washed it down with some Mimosa's. Dinner - Lasagna with Garlic Bread and probably a couple of more Mimosa's. Dessert - Strawberry Shortcake.
  6. 80 amps. I'm very jealous. My garage has a 20 amp service going to it. You can never have enough electrical capacity in your shop.
  7. Thanks! My brother has the same type of greenery walls over at his house in the backyard. It's nice. We've been hesitant to put up a fence, but the last 2 tenants in the rental house have changed our minds. Luckily it's been vacant since December, so it's been a welcome relief.
  8. Hands down it's money well spent. You get consistent coverage and no need to worry about birds eating the seed because of the mulch and binding agent. We love the results so much we've decided to strip the grass around the front and sides of the house in the fall. It currently looks like a salad bar. Lol
  9. Thanks! I put down some starter fertilizer and a treatment of Milorganite a couple of weeks ago and with a straight week of rain has really helped to jump start it. I've had a couple of dandelions. I quickly dug them up and sent them packing.
  10. Update After a long winter and cold spring, the lawn finally kicked in and began to really get established in the past 2 weeks. I broke out the mower on Saturday and mowed it for the 1st time. Felt pretty good. Next phase will be installing the fence. Target day is Memorial Day Weekend. Hoping for good weather, .
  11. This is just like Excalibur. You need to prove yourself worthy of being able to remove it
  12. The price point on this doesn't make any sense. It's going to be close to $700 with tax for a box that is smaller than the current offerings.
  13. I would buy the Dewalt on the fence alone.
  14. Great job. The biggest challenge is too get everyone to remember and adopt the storage techniques.
  15. Sweet. When can we come over and hang out on the boat?
  16. That's odd. But as a general rule, I never use an impact to go to final torque. I've always used a torque wrench.
  17. I have the Husky clone as well. I managed to grab one before they completely disappeared. I think what happened is that there was an initial agreement between HD and CA to sell the Husky clone. However HD decided to reduce the price even though the CA version was available on the HD site at a 30% increase. So with HD essentially undercutting the price and offering both products online from the HD site. I believe CA pulled the agreement and this is why the offering was so short lived.
  18. Milwaukee Shredder. Lives on a diet of Harbor Freight, Dewalt, Milwaukee, Ryobi, Makita and Bosch.
  19. Same situation as the Avenger. No dipstick. On the drivers side of the transmission there is a fluid level indicator hole which has an 11MM bolt in it. Once you drain the fluid, you need to remove the bolt and then begin the filling process. While the car is running and in park, you continue filling until fluid begins to weep out of the hole. The level is too ensure that the car is level and the fluid indicator hole is not sitting at an angle which would throw off the amount of fluid in the tranny. Yes, in case you're wondering it's a stupid design. Since after you fill it, you then need to drive the car to get the fluid up to operating temp and check the level again.
  20. I think this is the 1st time I've seen windows at a strip club.
  21. It was somewhat relaxing. I started with changing the oil in my wife's Jeep. Something I've done about 100 times. For whatever reason, the oil filter would not come off. It just deformed and was then punctured by the strap wrench. So I had no choice but to find a way to get it off. I grabbed the biggest set of channel locks I had and managed to extract that POS from the engine. What should have taken about 15 min to complete ended taking an hour, Most of the time I was just staring and shouting obscenities at it.
