Yesterday was shortened by me feeling like ****, had to pick up a cabinet and then get it unloaded, that was essentially all that got done, I was home and in bed by 3pm and I still feel like **** now. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, I don’t like being sick.

In the US the bridge laws are what really mess things up. States can have stricter requirements as well. But to haul the same weight and size in the US would require a lot longer truck and it would be a lot tougher to maneuver. The UK/EU has trucks with more axles, trailers that steer and...

The UK has some really interesting trailers and trucks, the road laws are totally different, we make things overly complicated and can’t really use the cool stuff you guys have to offer.

My issue trying to use the dump trailer with Perk is going to be traction. Will need to make up an easy on and off weight box. No matter how much you load the trailer, it will always have essentially no tongue weight and Perk is 12.5k on the front axle and 10k on the rear, so not good traction...

Scrap is so low right now and it only weighs about 11K pounds, so not really in the scrap price category. The tongue is long for two reasons, one is to allow for easier turning, the other is that you can haul this behind a dump truck and still dump while the trailer is connected. They call...

About halfway through the day I started feeling a bit better, just got back with the dump trailer. Essentially the most rugged 14’ dump trailer on Marketplace for $2500.

Getting moving did not help at all, this day is going to ****. Will try and make things as short as possible, but you know how that goes!

I am actually feeling worse right now that I was yesterday, went to be early and everything. I hope once I get going that things won’t be as bad. Probably be so beat after today, tomorrow will make me wish I hadn’t done anything the last couple days.

Normally these would sell for $500 each without the butcher block, if they were in pristine condition it would be a grand or more with the butcher block. When I saved them at the original price of $500, I assumed it was each and they would be gone ASAP. When he reduced the price to $300 the...

Now the guy with the dump trailer accepted my offer, so I have to go get that tomorrow, so much for taking it easy this weekend.

Also, before you tell me, I know I screwed up, going to be a while before I can fix it though.

I am happy for sure. I was out of the shallowest drawers and now I have four more or those and four more of the next size up. Will be able to fit some more drawers into my hardware cabinet. One of the cabinets is pretty well tweaked, the other seems good and I have the perfect place for it...

Totally hit or miss, with Marketplace it is usually about timing, you ask a question within an hour of the listing and you might get an answer. Once they get too may people hitting them up, they stop responding.

So much for taking it easy, I had saved a listing with a Vidmar butcher block bench cabinet setup that I was sure was actually Lista, it was so cheap, I figured it would be gone. Anyways, it was not only still available, the guy dropped the price 40% from what it was. I messaged him and it was...

Pretty sure my help was contagious, now I am sick as can be and my back is jello. Awesome! I need to do a few things in the office, so I am going to try and take care of that today and hope I feel better tomorrow.
