    Anyone with a car hauler I could rent tomorrow? - in SL Valley

    I'm in need of getting 4 pallets of cabinets from work to my house. Turns out, the hauler I used to borrow from my father-in-law was sold. My UTV trailer, with the ramp and sides makes it near impossible to get pallets on without damaging the ramp. So I'm in need of a 14-16' trailer to...

    Pike's home addition

    Figured I may as well make a thread to document this process. Last January, we signed a contract to have an 12x20 addition added to our house. The addition is to extend and relocate our kitchen, as well as open up the main level, as well as add a basement room. Due to the heavy winter and...

    Remodel & Handyman business - anyone do it?

    I have been thinking about starting a handyman (although I feel this has a slight negative, low skilled meaning)/remodeling business on the side, and can't help think/dream of turning it into a full time gig in the future. I am pretty handy/good at interior remodeling, although I tend to be a...

    Adding trailer ramp assists

    I recently bought 7x12 utility trailer. I need to add expanded metal to the 4' tall ramp which is already heavy and designed pretty stout. I realize I need to add some sort of spring assist to the ramp. Has anyone done this? I found the Gorilla assets but don't like the idea of having...

    Snowblower vapor locking?

    Last year (2021) I purchased a Toro Ssc2000 single stage snowblower on KSL. It has worked pretty good and done fine this year with all the snow.....that is until today. I usually use TruFuel 50:1 mix for the lack of ethanol. I have used the remainder of my weedeater mix that was also...

    School me on swaybars and link geometry

    With my Rodeo on the market (had someone test drive it today) I figured I could help myself sell it as well as make it more street friendly to a new buyer. The rear has a swaybar on it. It is mounted to the axle and the links go to the frame. The links are just generic Rubicon Epxress...

    Auto shop for general service - Ecoboost

    I know most everyone here does a lot of their own maintenance...and while I do some, I have gotten to the point, with many of my vehicle maintenance, that it's easier to pay someone. I still do my own oil changes, spark plugs and such. I have a '12 F150 Screw with the 3.5L EB. I am just...

    Precious metals?

    I wasn't sure if this should go with the retirement or 401k thread...but it's sort of another "investing" question. Who here has purchased precious metals? Do you physically own it or do you own a fund (I've seen a few different ones that deal directly with precious metals)? Where do you...

    Rental property - laundry questions

    I've looked on some landlord forums, but didn't really see much of what I wanted...and I'm really looking for advice on layout anyway. So I bought a single family home (titled that way) with a mother-in-law. They are separately metered for gas & power, have their own furnaces & water...

    Home addition/remodel

    So in the garage build I referenced a neighbors house that has the rear addition that we want to do.....the wife and I are looking to get this ball rolling this year. If the garage build taught me anything, it's that contractors are some of the worst people to get to come out and bid a...

    Garage wall sheeting & storage ideas

    With the other thread more the actual build if the garage, I thought I'd start this for more discussion. I'm unsure if the best way to sheet the inside as well as the best way to maximize storage. Sheeting- I tend to just think of drywall but in reading the garage journal I see a lot of people...

    Work to live or live to work?

    As I age I find myself less satisfied with my career. Maybe it's the company I work for or more likely the division I work for. Lately I've found myself wondering what else I can do for a career and still make enough to not have to cut back too much. I want to get to the Live to work attitude...
