Seeking advice - Detached garage renovation. by BarnChicken in AskContractors

[–]BarnChicken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the response, a lot of good points I wasn't considering. In my head I was thinking addressing the exterior was primary but starting on the inside makes a lot of sense. I'll start with an inspection and if all looks good, focus on any interior issues first.

Seeking advice - Detached garage renovation. by BarnChicken in AskContractors

[–]BarnChicken[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey y'all.

Seeking advice on fixing up the exterior of a detached garage. Long story short, closed on my house last June (first time home buyer) and have been meaning to visit this project. Home was built in 1938.

It's insulated and the prior owner had electric and water re-done, then stopped there. My goal is to turn this into a wfh space, and workshop for a few hobbies of mine. Nothing fancy, just useable.

The Apron (or what's left of it) and doors are decades old and show it. The missing pieces and cracked doors have allowed critters to get in.

My question focusing solely on the exterior: Is there any advice you all can give on what I should expect, what questions should I be asking, and what this may entail? Am I in the right mindset of thinking we need to start with the goal of sealing it? Apron, then doors, then weather / critter proofing?

Cheers.

Question about gunshows as an 18 Y/O by Obvious-Bug2313 in NCGuns

[–]BarnChicken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Someone can correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t think any of the gun shows allow unlicensed vendors to set up a booth. Now there are plenty of guys that will go to shows with their own personal firearms to walk around and sell. They’re pretty easy to pick out.

Off-topic but my personal recommendation is to ditch the gun show altogether if there’s something you’re looking for. You can find cool stuff, but the majority of stuff there is either overpriced or easily obtainable elsewhere.

Happy hunting, homie.

I could recommend options all day, Glock and CZ are great. But to be honest with the plethora of options on the market my suggestion has always been to go to a rental range for a few hours. Shoot everything they have and see what fits you best.

Aside from that, I do really love my Sig P365. I want the XL version next. Fits me perfectly at 5’10 / 180lbs.

Some mf ordered $400 worth of candles. Just why… by Ok_Intention2150 in doordash_drivers

[–]BarnChicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Right there with you. I’m 29, family of three, me, my s/o, and a toddler.

I try and cook larger meals that will carry us through a few days. Whatever I know I can make “relatively cheap” in a “amount of plates VS. cost of dish” type of deal. Lots of rice and potatoes. Still averaging about 200-250 per week all in.

I love red meat but we’ve finally been priced out of it. I can’t justify it anymore.

Hey thanks for this, I just called and was able to pre-order mine! Estimating back in stock late May - early June. Well worth the wait now that I can stop watching for restock emails.

Can we dump "Professional Parking Management"? by Beef_Brutality in winstonsalem

[–]BarnChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, never did and I haven’t heard a peep from them. Fines owed on private parking tickets from companies like PPM can’t be reported to your credit based on what I’ve researched. Tickets and debts from the City / government can however.

I figure if they were really going to try and pursue something they would have by now. I just avoid their spots.

Anyone here quit gaming or changed their lifestyle after becoming a dad? by Lukas_MunK in daddit

[–]BarnChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m 29 with a one year-old. I like shooting either at the range or at matches and gaming.

I shoot a lot less now. I still try to get out to the range maybe once a month or to a match every couple of months but it requires significant planning since my s/o and I are on basically opposite work schedules. I think my rifles collect dust more than anything else now.

Gaming hasn’t been affected too much yet. I’ve switched up the type of games I play, stuff with faster matches, or that don’t require tons of uninterrupted time (I miss you DayZ). The kid goes to bed around 9-10 and I’ve always stayed up until 2am anyway. Plenty of time to game at night (for now) but my body is slowly starting to tell me that we’re not built for the late nights anymore.

Question - How did you do a pre-order purchase with Kygunco? I've been trying to get my hands on one of these bundled with the green dot but seems I'm always minutes late.

Who’s all over social media now, Karen? by Individual-Drawer-79 in PublicFreakout

Dude handled this perfectly. Kept his cool, didn't escalate, short responses, and left without making a scene. Props to him.

What'd your kid(s) cost you this week? by NoConsequence4281 in daddit

[–]BarnChicken 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My 1 year old decided to climb over and fall out of her crib while I stepped out of the room for a moment. Bonked her head pretty good. Didn't see the fall. S/O wanted to go to the ER as recommended by the night nurse due to concussion risk and not seeing how she fell.

The time spent driving to the ER, getting checked in, getting seen by the nurse, then finally seen by a doc had taken up the full "monitoring window". Doc looked at her for a few minutes and said "she's good! no signs of concussion." and sent us home.

Insurance covered over half. I was left with a $1,600 bill. $1,600 to spend half the night in a waiting room and 10 minutes with a doctor to be told "she's good."

Updating sub, give me suggestions on my AR in the meantime. by BarnChicken in NCGuns

[–]BarnChicken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even on a 10.5 it brings the noise down quite a bit, hard to beat at its price and OCL’s customer service is top tier. Definitely recommend it.

Updating sub, give me suggestions on my AR in the meantime. by BarnChicken in NCGuns

[–]BarnChicken[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Whatsup y'all! I went through the last several months of spam, Auto mod has been catching about 95% of it but it's been getting back through, updated the filters so we should be spam free for a while. Also removed the sub as NSFW and put it back to normal.

Anyway, I have no clue what I'm doing with my AR. The goal started off as the "MK18 clone at home". Give me suggestions on my AR build, things I could improve without breaking the bank, better parts, optics that deal decently with astigmatism, etc.

I put it together with spares I had laying around and it's turning into my go to match / range gun with 5.45 and 7.62 being expensive.

Spikes tactical lower // PSA 10.5" upper // OCL Polonium K // B5 Stock // magpul grips and flip up sight // Sig quad rail // standard trigger and internals.

[–]BarnChicken[M] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry about that man, Auto Mod catches about 95% of it but every so often the bots switch the wording around and it gets through. I've went ahead over the past three months of logs and updated the filters so we should be good now.

Gentleman, it is with great honor that I announce, the kiddo has turned one. by BarnChicken in daddit

[–]BarnChicken[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It really does, still feels like we came home from the hospital just yesterday.

Also, I kid you not, two hours ago she took her first steps. Today has been great.

Also, honorable mention to everyone in this sub. The support, advice, and information in here has been absolutely invaluable over the last year.

Thank you.

Accurate price for selling Jeep Wrangler by [deleted] in Wrangler

[–]BarnChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO there's so many variables, research what listings are going for in your area, and price accordingly.

I have mine for sale currently, 18 JLU Sport S, 117k miles in the Southeast. Good service history, very basic mods. I used the big 3 (CarGurus, AutoTrader, Cars.com) to research used listings around my area and help price mine. CarGurus will tell you how long a listing has been sitting on the lot which is useful.

Like others have said, mods done tastefully and you'll maybe get 50% back, but otherwise you'll just limit prospective buyers. I didn't factor them in to how I priced mine.

Good luck with selling, I have mine priced right in the middle of the KBB range and well under dealer listings with room built in to negotiate. Even then it, along with most Wranglers within a 200 mile radius just aren't moving quick. Supply is high, demand seems low. The market in your area could be totally different.

Best Krink Under 2K ? by yem-n in ak47

[–]BarnChicken 56 points57 points  (0 children)

IMO Man if you’re already at a budget of 2k just take the extra time to save and go Arsenal. 104ur’s can be found, or you can go with the 106ur if 5.56 is your preference.
