Thanks @jeeper. I never meant my comment to be insulting or even negative. I grew up LDS and feankly miss the neighborhood connections that generally come with having a weekly ward meeting or a mother that was active and was friends with everyone in the ward. It is also very much a 2 sided...

Mines a bit different. I spearheaded our neighnorhood Easter egg hunt this year after the guy who did it last moved prior to Covid. The last 2 years no one gave a crap...so thia year I said WTF. Approx 2200-2500 eggs stuffed and gwtting ready to be hid in the AM. I am kind of kicking...

I have been continuing trying to decide how much project creep I want to allow from the stupid termites. I ripped out the ceiling outside the bathroom to get the joists in place...this led to tearing out some more drywall....oh while I am at it I may as well widen this entry to the family...

Something about this doesn't add up. If you both claim 0 and are standard W2 employees, owing that much at the end of the year just seems like something is incorrect with the original W4. If you both make OK money (which is obviously subjective) The breakdown of household wage % between...

Shhhh. People aren't ready for that truth....on either side. Neither side ultimately would accept the change in lifestyle their political beliefs would most likely entail. Democrats wouldn't accept the necessary tax rates needed to aupport their social programs. When most hear that...

Hearing some of you guys talk about whiskey sounds like hipsters talking about craft brew IPA's. :p

I spent yesterday tearing out and reframing the wall that the termites has damaged, and that I had to cut to get the new joists in place. It was a much more difficult job then it should've been. Apparently nothing in my house is square or true. I miscut multiple pieces due to...

I stated this in Skippy's Tesla thread. My buddy just replaced his battery in his S60 last fall. Cost was 14k. My friend has owned his 2013 Tesla S60 for 6 years (just paid it off last summer) His battery lasted from 2013-2021. 8 years....this was in Utah (at least his 6 years). I...

I Holladay, around 6200 S and Highland Dr. They had to have been feasting for decades. I was amazed at the damage....but also, at how isolated it was to mainly that 1 joist.

Fab Fours used to make moderately good looking Jeep bumpers (Always hated their full size truck front bumpers) They have "jumped the shark" and just make horrible Grumper designs now. I like the bumper as a stand alone piece. The part that ties tot he grille is terrible. The grille could...

I spent Saturday (allowing for 3 days for the termite remediation to hopefully make it back to wherever those little bastards are hiding) removing and replacing the 2 damaged joists. Man, what a mess. I had to remove all plumbing lines (feed all bathrooms) the HVAC stack that feeds the...

to me, the model S is the best looking.....but they are a premium price (same with the X) I don't care for the X or 3. I don't mind the model Y either.

I am at 123k right now and have no issues so far. I do plan on getting the 120k service soon since I have done nothing outside of oul changes, brakes and the recommended spark plugs since owning it the past 85-90k. The complexity of the engine and turbos are the reasons I want to take it...

Unless there is something you love about Tesla and are buying new I'd look at other options.....mostly for the $7500 tax credit. If you are buying used then it doesn't matter. My best friend has had a model S for quite a few years (5 I think) ihe bought his wife one as well (both used)...

I would check Evco House of Hose. They can usually make anything. I am not sure if they deal with braided material but I bet they will know where to go.

I was wrong. They are not carpenter ants. Instead they are termites...and there are ztill some active apparently. I have seen 6 or so continuing to walk in a certain path. Little bastards. Now I have to get professional service in to see how much thos will cost me and how much of a...

I spent part of the day exploring the extent of the carpenter ants. Turns out, my suspicion was correct and the joist was their highway. It went all the eay to the middle load bearing beam. Their rest stop was just outside the bathrrom wall over the stairs. Luckily, the beam and post are...

I don't understand the pig snout that Toyota has been using for it's grill. It's hideous. They really one up'd it with the Tundra, extending the snout lower, into the bumper.

I've been continuing the demo of the bathroom. I got a quite to replace an old drum trap on the upstairs bathtub and reroute the drain a little to make room for moving a heating duct. They wanted WAY too much for a few hours of work. I started on it and after a little over and hour I am...

Concrete was poured. Honestly, not the best job, but not bad. I ran the gas line to the garage and have a riser that will be on the patio for a gas fire pit. Here's how it sits now. It works well, but as mentioned above, there are a few things I would do differently....but...
