    Let's Talk Lawns

    I looked on Sprinkler World website and didn't see PVC pipe, mostly the sprinklers and controllers. I stopped by Mountainland at lunch and they only had 1. I thinknI can get by with 1 but would really prefer a few extras just incase. Maybe I'll check the Sprinkler World anyway. No big...

    Looking for 3/4". I will check there. I assume the Mountain States on 3300 S is the location?

    Let's Talk Lawns

    So I am working on my sprinklers, trying to all the PVC pipe ran. I am finding I need some 22.5* fittings but can't find any at the big box stores. Does anyone know of somewhere locally that these could be picked up? Amazon is pricey and won't deliver until this weekend....a few online...

    Gladiator buying: Who's looking to buy?

    I would normally say no...since I don't want to take the hit off the lot.....but I am still very tempted to pick one up, so depending on the deal I may be in (wife better not murder me :rofl: ) I do look at used way more and see the pricing down below $45k for a decent Mojave.

    Pike's home addition

    So, while this is done, we did end up basically bypassing the GC for a few final things. He has just proven his attention to detail and recollection of things discussed is not the best. We finally got sick of waiting for a new front door that we said to bag it and we painted our existing...

    LOL. Yes. It was there when we bought the house. I told my wife we will tell the kids that it is watching them and will tell on them if they act out

    Let's Talk Lawns

    Not sure where to put this...but I am starting to get my sprinklers setup in the backyard. We are doing 100% new everything because of the leveling of yard and addition. I spent this weekend trying to come up with a "full proof" plan to get it done and serviceable if it ever needs to be...

    Tesla Truck (Cybertruck)

    Saw one parked yesterday.....and I still can't find a single thing that has even the slightest appeal to me.

    Dream job?

    I probably would've gotten I to construction and eventually open my own remodel/reno co.

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    That insulation for the walls? I would grab this for the ceiling....assuming 24" OC trusses https://www.homedepot.com/p/Owens-Corning-R-13-Faced-Fiberglass-Insulation-Batt-23-in-x-93-in-1-Bag-E52/100320326

    The box shouldn't matter. They will all allow the light to mount. For the outside lights it is common to run just the wire through and do a pancake box. I have seen the bracket only and have always been surprised That's probably what I would do(pancake box)....or, I would use a single...

    Tesla Truck (Cybertruck)

    I still believe the Cybertruck is Musks way of seeing how much influence he has. As long as he puts it out people will somehow think it's cool and buy it. Almost like it's his inside joke on all his customers. They are just :puke:

    Political So now what

    Once again you are taking an affect and drawing back to immigration as either the direct cause or the largest contributing factor...and I don't think either case is true. The .gov spends obscene amounts of money on lazy ass Americans and free riding garbage. I do believe that many illegals...

    Political So now what

    You are trying to trace an affect back to a single cause.....which doesn't work. The point I am making is comparing a crime that is 100% perpetrated against another person to one that(the actual crime) in realty has no direct impact on another is a far stretch. Someone being here...

    Political So now what

    Quite a stretch comparison. Someone being here illegally is the law being broken. technically that in itself has no affect on another soul in any way. While Rape....wmyeha, no need to go there. We all know that they can do more things while being here illegally that will affect some...

    Nate’s longterm tiny shop build

    The contractor also charged me $1500 for gravel back fill that 3/4 of didn't get used. I asked for a credit and he said $600. So $900 for what amounted to less then a yd of backfill. I wouldn't think much of it except I had just had 4yds of backfill gravel (unwashed 3/4+ or whatever)...

    You aren't alone in your feeling of being taken advantage of and that pricing is ridiculous. With the add-on and kitchen I have seriously questioned all trades. I get an hourly rate based on their experience and education but 8/10 times they send a grunt that barely knows what they are...

    Political So now what

    It baffles me how quick both sides are to jump to their "talking points" for EVERYTHING. It is ridiculous. There are all kinds of reasons a ship can lose power and cause this horrible outcome. Jumping to blaming DEI, immigration, COVID, etc is just ridiculous, grandstanding. It...
