Her financial skills are amazing. She even manages to give me a list of projects to do and then a month later when the CC bill come she chews my *** for all my spending. That way she can lay claim to being the saver in the house while I’m the spender.

OP, think about it. Average car is 15’. That’s only 2.5’ sticking out on each end. But of course no way I could do it in my lowered Mustang GT. And I guess it all depends on your bumper type these days too.

Yep. I remember Dad buying 20’ sections of pipe to run gas to our building in the back yard. He put them under the car and strapped them to the bumpers with a red flag on the back. FWIW, it was a VW van.

I used that system for a sliding wall in my garage to hang my yard tools on. I don’t think you would have any issue if you made sure each end was filed to a smooth gap, or at least no high spots for the bearing wheels to catch on.

Saw something similar on YouTube. Not worried about speed. I’m retired.

Yea, we’ve got a good stash. I just want more but she’s trying to pay off the house in 10 years or less and is paying 3X every month on principle.

Keep in mind if he shows up at your house he’s not somewhere else on a bigger job. I’m surprised he even offered to take it on. I bet his disposal fee alone is $100. I keep telling my wife we need $25k in reserve in case we need a new roof. House was built in 2007 and they are still in...

I’ve got the No Spill brand can. Trying to fill my pontoon boat with it, or any of my cans was a joke. I think I killed a lot of lake life that day. Instantly ordered the shake siphon of Amazon and ripped out the flame arrestor. Set the can up on the storage cover and drop in the siphon...

Pilots are the same. Still trying to figure out how some ***** thought this was a good idea. Once the seal is broken oil drains forever. It’s not just oil in the filter running out. I just let it drain and use paper towels to clean up the frame after. I couldn’t imagine trying to hold a...

Yea, I was very surprised when I changed my first outboard motor filter without the valve. Came out empty! Filters on my ZTR‘s transaxles are the same way, but still don‘t have enough time on it to change them yet.

We have a filter drop off bin next to the oil recycling tank at my county trash drop off center.

I vote to keep it and turn over to a property management company. My son did this after relocating with the Army. He makes enough off the small rental to cover fees, mortgage and put over a grand a month in his pocket. His house is in a college town pulling about $1800 a month in rent and...

I was thinking of something else as a “beach toolbox”

Looking good! I have to agree, the humidity has been horrible this summer. We started out with May-June drought and low humidity but July came and we’ve had lots of rain, high humidity but temps were lower than June. Can’t wait to see the joys of August.

Like eating an elephant. One bite at a time. Sadly, once you clear and area and rake it more will pop up. My yard is the same way, but mixed in with clay. I tried to dig a couple of holes to put in 4X4 posts to hang kayaks on. I got less than an inch deep and gave up. I’m dreading the...

First, I'm no structural engineer or builder, but shouldn’t there be a header board across the front and back of the roof to support the weight of the roof over time? I know you don’t have to worry about snow loading around here. Second, Hello neighbor! I’m on the Lugoff/Elgin side of Wateree...

I went that route as well. Too many health issues to try a project of this size. Went with a 12 X 24 for right at $10k. Delivery and setup was awesome just watching. Guy really knew how to get that special trailer to work like magic. I had put two marks on the ground were I needed the...

I took a smaller rack and made an ammo storage locker out of it. I use to build these with AV gear for a living. Cannot even think of how many I built over 29 years.

Would be more fun to shake her cans.

Rustoleum is dead to me. They bought out the Testors model paint line years ago just to kill it off. I’m now having to buy imported model paints at $8 per ounce. Although I have switched over to lacquer which airbrushed much better than the old enamels or acrylics.
