    Expensive Mistake

    lots of people do... $30-50 bucks these days barely gets you 4 meals at McDonalds...and nobody thinks twice about that. I can also guarantee if you look at your finances you piss away 30-50 bucks on things that I would say "why are you spending money on that, thats really stupid way to spend...

    Expensive Mistake

    "expensive"??? A refill on an 80cf bottle(looks like what you have) is only like 30 bucks... A refill of pure argon on my 300CF bottle was 100 bucks last week.

    Can large fans out cool the uninsulated shop?

    Yup thats the problem with swamp coolers... everything gets wet. Not good long term in a workshop. I just spray foamed mine and got a mini split... Thank you Lord Jesus... I leave it at 80 and crank it down when I go in, but been testing slightly warmer... 85 wasnt good. Humidity seemed high...

    Car condo owners, in here

    My question to the builder would be "how much interest/sales do you really have?"... Its easy to say "well i can just sell it in a year or 3 or 5" but 4-500k garage space is an EXTREMELY niche market.

    Car condo owners, in here

    A lot of these "communities" across the country actually prohibit working on your car there... Where my buddy is its not a problem, but I know I have seen some advertised that prohibit working on cars there... they may allow oil changes, but nothing more.

    Car condo owners, in here

    The car condo's around us start at like 400k and thats with nothing in them but bare walls and concrete... My buddies was one of the big ones and I think it was 650k and he's spending another 200k finishing it out.

    Pioneer vs Mitsubishi

    I dont know what the in ceiling cassette portion costs, but two regular 18k's should be more than 33-3500 a piece... I would guess the 12k with a cassette setup would be at least 3k since I know those cost a bit more to install. So 9-10k... hell 12k wouldnt shock me... 40k... GTFO of here...

    What brand weed killer are yall using for broadleaf weeds?

    He PM'd me since we both live in Texas... He needs more than a 1 gallon garden sprayer and some 2-4D for his 10 acre's he's trying to prep...

    What brand weed killer are yall using for broadleaf weeds?

    OK, another clarification that should be the OP posting "the whole story"... He's not doing turf grass like bermuda or st. aug... He's trying to turn 5-10 acres of corn field into grazing and deer land... I told him just to disc it and plant his seed he wants to plant, no need to kill any...

    What brand weed killer are yall using for broadleaf weeds?

    The OP is trying to do full ground clearing in preparation for planting grass... Nothing we are offering is what he needs. He actually needs something stronger IMO than glyphosate... but you generally need a license to spray it. It'll nuke everything dead. I cant remember the name, but there...

    What brand weed killer are yall using for broadleaf weeds?

    yea you didnt spray concentrate roundup and still have stuff left alive...didnt happen unless your mix was ultra ultra weak. Celsius WG is what I have switched to from 2-4-d... works better, but its not nearly as cheap. You will choke on the price of a 10oz bottle, but then realize that it...
