  8. What did you do today? A thread dedicated to the general use of tools in your projects.

    The land is just beautiful where you live Dano! I am sure your mowing all that with a riding mower too, I haven't seen the whole property but I am guessing you own a couple of acers. good job with the flower bed, I like those steps though. Have you noticed that those solar lights don't last past 2 years? lol

    As you can kinda see half of my lot is woods. I have the tan roof on my house, garage and patio...

  13. Meat band saw

    Thats a nice machine Jimbo. My step dad processes his own deer and when I gave him my old bench top Craftsman band saw he made a comment about cleaning it up to use for meat.  I guess a little saw dust on your steak never hurt anyone...

  15. Walking around Home Depot ?

    I started with the 21 day fix container diet with my wife around new years and just kept doing it to an extent since.  She makes healthy meals on Sunday and during the week I eat so many servings (containers) of fruits, veggies, proteins, carbs, etc and no pop.  It is actually way more food than I used to eat, just healthier. Plus I work 3rd shift so my meals are at different times so this helps me be able to eat a lunch while she eats her dinner and we can still eat together. It is a lot of work for her planning the meals, cooking and packaging everything, but she has a routine now. I feel great which leads me to do more, like clean my garage and other misc things around the house even though its still cold out.  Once the warmer weather gets here I will be much busier.  Good luck

    Congrats bro and keep it up man I've been telling myself to get back in shape but freakin life just gets in the way ?? and yea I know how it feels to run into the very few that don't know where there own items are kept at HD lol!

    Thanks buddy.  The older I get the harder it is to lose so I (my wife...) figured I better put some effort in now. I will be 34 this year so I guess its about time to get back "in shape".  

     

    I had interviews for part time at both Lowes and HD, but I refused to work Saturdays so it didn't work out.  I was looking for a hobby during the winter more than a second job so I had the luxury of being picky.  I know I would have been better than most though.

    I need to get one of these, lately i just use my m12 speaker, I can get 4 charges on a 4.0 pack for my iPhone 6 plus

    I have looked at the M18 version a few times but never pulled the trigger. How do you like the M12 speaker? That is another item I have looked at.

    I agree that HD staff are way more "aggressive" than Lowes. Not in a bad way, they just seem to be everywhere and everyone asks if you need help.  Lowes on the other hand, I rarely get asked if I need help and we have a few employees that I have refused help from. I tried to be nice about it, but I know their plumbing and lumber sections better than most of the employees.

     

    Bigmikez you can appreciate this one, I am 6' 4" and after losing 30 lbs as of last week I am down to 345 lbs (45 more to go).  I was looking at ladders last fall when the sales kid at Lowes kept trying to talk me into the cheapest 6' ladder they sell over the 300 lbs rated one since it was on sale. Now I feel fine on a 300 and I use them all the time at work, but the 225 lbs ladders no way! It just goes to show how little some of their employees really know about their products.

    Menard's always gets me for something. It's a 45 min drive and they have everything so I always feel compelled to buy something. Lowes is 10 min from my house and I can remember a couple times leaving there without buying anything. HD is about 35 min away so I usually only go there for a specific purchase.

    Today was pretty cold for April, I think it dipped down to about 76 degrees.

    We had snow Sat night. I was 45 min from home and they got so much I had to pull over because it was a white out for 30 min. Several accidents on the way home too.  I plow snow so I am used to driving in bad weather, but this came down so hard and so fast and I wasn't familiar with the roads. Extremely windy all day too which made it worse.

     

    My dad is in Bonita Springs, FL for the winter and he always makes those comments too...
