I know it's a tiny picture, but I have one of these older Husky units, with the switch on the larger portion of the shaft. That stupid thing must be twenty years old now, and it still works like new. It was always really nice. If I ever need another ratcheting screwdriver, I'll be searching...

Tool rolls and socket rails in a Pelican case or one of the common bags. I'd suggest Bucketboss and whichever rails you prefer. Problem solved.

I've got a combined kitchen and living room, and I don't really see much point in any other setup nowadays. There's generally one screen or another on in a house nowadays, and don't nobody need to be pretending otherwise, because I'll know they're full of ****. Same goes for trying to tell...

I'm not sure how practical that idea is for you, but it's fun and enough of a departure to stir up some imagination without complicating what you've created already. :) It's easy to say "no" to something that different; and I think that's important in any interpretation. If it's too difficult...

Despite my interest in playing around with the design, I still like the original. It may not be some manner of fancy statement that will go down in history, but to me it looks like a home that's grown with a family; and one can't really ask much more than that, in my opinion. I may be building...

One thing's certain: You could build a giant nutsack on your roof and your neighbor's house would still be uglier and less architecturally sound from the perspective of anyone with an ounce of taste. His is an example of everything wrong with modern construction, all in one unit. Your initial...

I don't think that particular house would would be too difficult. It works okay with the existing windows; not perfect, but not bad. It'll lean slightly toward the last gasps of MCM (either great or horrid; there isn't much in between from that late in the era) because of the lower window...

Cleaned it up a bit, picked colors I'd probably go with for myself, but still didn't adjust proportion; and it's still just vector scribbles. I did match the lower windows, but that's only because it's technically the best way to do it. In reality, I wouldn't bother. This puts it in a scene...

Yeah, I was going to try that, actually. There are several solutions for that area, and I'd considered a compound angle, as well. That's a delicate aspect, though, and it takes longer to get right. They look horrid until they're perfect, and then they look amazing. :) The windows on the...

Little morning vector sketch to add fucked up roofs and a bit of facade without ending up with a McMansion. All I did was chop one, add another that can well just be an attic, beefed up the entryway, and weighted the colors to reduce apparent height. Eh. It's kind of cool. Don't have time to...

I like the damned thing; any changes I'd make would be incredibly subtle. You're building a house, not an art museum. You have to live there, rest, potentially raise a family at some point if you haven't already... I'm all for planning for the future; everything I do is thinking ten to twenty...

By that I mean to literally flip the structure without changing the location beyond any slide needed to stay in the boundaries. Driveway in the same place; but you're pulling up to what would have formerly been the back of the house, which is more cohesive than the front. Mind you, I can dig...

The more you guys mod that thing, the more it looks like every other McCheap-assly-built House on the market. At least he tried something different. Take the house he designed, make the back the front, and re-detail the new back with some semi-outdoor spaces to accommodate an outdoor...

The only thing I'd say from a subjective point is that perhaps the two sections seem a bit like separate structures from certain angles; but you have to remember that the render is going to appear exaggerated vs reality, and that you have plenty of landscaping to work with in integration. A bit...

Barring proper travel, so long as I can change a tire I'm happy. I can do anything I'll feel like doing with little more than a Gerber multi-tool and a tire plug kit; so unless it's a more utility oriented vehicle, the gear stops just after normal safety and convenience equipment. If anything...
