comp56 Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 ya the price of some stuff is crazy, but I guess they play on the fact some people can't or don't know how to build stuff...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigmikez Posted October 15, 2014 Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 I have fam out there not 100% sure what part but from what they say it stays hot there I've only been there for coachella and it was hot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted October 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2014 the winter are cold here too - during the day its nice when the sun shines 60-70 or sometimes up to 80.Bbut the winter nights can be in the 35-40F.we use the firewood mostly for the living room to have it nice and cozy in there.

Bigmikez Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 MM do u get a lot sand storms in ur area? I remember being out there for the Coachella event and driving through that for the 2 days we were there man my eyes and skin were dry dude and I had to blow out all the sand from my motor plus I hated hearing the sand just swooshing all over my cars paint Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 not here where i live...it just depends which area you live in...right there where the casino is (Aqua Calienta Casino) - there its always windy...open field so that the wind can grab the sand and create a nice sandstorm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madman_us Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 but ehm the windshields are pretty good sandblasted here when the sun hits the windshield its so bad so look thru Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigmikez Posted October 16, 2014 Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 it was crazy man I wonder how those people in that area keep there cars from getting scratched/clean and there air filters must get clogged pretty quick. it was hard driving in that cus it would get so bad that we couldn't c the traffic ahead of us.the detail shops probably make good money out there 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madman_us Posted October 16, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2014 have to tell you this story; my bosch circular saw fell the other day in my hot tub. the tub was drained but it had rain water in it.half of the saw was below the water surface....man I was pissed, because I left it on the edge just to bring a piece of lumber in the garage....then I just forgot about my saw. came the next day outside and saw the saw taking a bath lol.I grabbed the saw and put it out in the sun for 2 days....I plugged it in and the saw still works - I think that's a point of quality too haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
