    Goodyear Auto Service Center LIED to me about changing my Brake Fluid!!!!

    Do all your own service or take a chance on getting f****d! Go to Goodyear and demand a refund. Don't leave until they do. I do this all the time at stores and demand they fix what they did wrong. They might call the cops but don't be d**k just be demanding.

    Tell me how much my new truck *****

    I wish GM, Ford, Chrysler would open closed factories and produce Americam made vehicles. It's ironic that the big 3 can't make a profit making stuff here so they build stuff in mexico or canada. It's also ironic that honda and toyota to save money on import tariffs build their **** here and...

    Garage wish list

    I plan to put this in my pole barn house I'm building. From what I've been reading it is one of the most efficient systems available when used with an efficient heat source. Like 95% efficient. I would also suggest a lift to a pit. A new lift can be had form $1-4K. A pit would likely cost as...

    E Bay ripoff

    I have bought and sold stuff for years on ebay. I had 1 buyer that screwed me for $150. It protects buyers but not so much sellers. Still I buy and sell on ebay and craigslist. It's a great way to find great deals. Ripoff, no!! Just be aware. That goes for everything in life!!

    30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

    Thanks for the very good advice. 1)I am wondering if the poles were dry and you wrap in plastic wouldn't they stay dry? Or are you saying they will continue to release moisture from inside the wood itself. 2) I have well water. Would any toxins from the tar leach into my well. I'm just asking...

    30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

    We have no zoning out in the country where I live. The 2x6 laminates will be identical to the ones Morton uses. They use PT 2x6's of staggered lengths and regular 2x6's the rest of the way up with marine construction adhesive in between and hot dipped nails in the PT part. What do you think...

    30x40 Pole Barn in a Michigan winter - It has begun!

    Very nice building!! I am planning a 30x40x18 soon. I have researched using Perma-Columns ($108 ea) x 18 poles = $2000 and Post Protectors ($35 ea) x 18 poles $650. I have decided all are out of my budget. I will be laminating my own 3 2x6 with PT 2x6 in the hole and regular 2x6 the rest of...

    Town Zoning laws

    Why would you even ask about putting in a lift? What's inside of your garage is none of anybodys business. Did you ask their permission when you put in an air compressor?

    Anyone build a shop in steps as they get money?

    It doesn't take a rocket scientist to build a pole building. If you have the time = more $ elsewhere. I know you can do it.

    luvit's challenge: keep below 800 kWh each month.

    Luvit you have inspired me to look at my electric bill closer. I looked into the Blueline monitor but my power company just switched us to a smart meter that can't be read by the Blueline. My usage last month was 2500kw at $0.12.

    Got my first propane bill

    Agreed, but I am a generator technician and most generators that have an exerciser function only run for 15-20 min once a week. You could run it manually or when there is an extended outage that would make up for it.

    Build your own attic trusses?

    Actually lumber quality is less than #2. Not a premium grade but perfectly fine for truss building. Yes the metal connector plates are rolled or pressed on not hammered on
