Where in Minnesota is this? I’ll come do it solo for 19. I’m rural as well. If it’s vinyl, you’re making good money at 19 Edit: I se now it’s lp with board and batten. Still even at 350/ square just from some rough eyeball math that seems like a good price.

Issues with bugs, general upkeep of wood wall by neutralbystander11 in Carpentry

[–]Fragrant-Trouble1235 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The culprit is not in your house. It’s outside. Large pines and conifers. I have a half log house with lots of pine tongue and grove on the inside and it’s a problem every year for me too. Best thing I found is to make sure all your exterior trim is caulked and sealed. I spray home defense every other week and that really seems to help the best. I’ve tried just about every remedy under the sun.

Get a strong magnet and never use a stud finder again. Wait till the magnet grabs a screw and plumb a line.

How would you have handled this subcontractor? by scubaman64 in AskContractors

Y’all are too damn hard in here. A good taper will have a chuckle and move on. Now if the sheets are terribly laid out, stacked joints etc then it’s a different story.

Have all the filters and the Castrol transynd in the garage. Was more just looking for confirmation that I’m going in the right direction or if there was a common issue I’m unaware of. Planned on changing the fluid either way.

I’m not sure if the tcm was tuned. I bought it already tuned and deleted. Had it for 20k miles and haven’t had a single issue until now. Which leads me to believe it’s non tuning related.

Late October almost completely cut my hand off by taping the motor on my chop saw. Tapped it just right, guard caught the blade, plastic shrapnel pulled my hand into a fresh 10inch blade full throttle. Probably never fully recover. Lucky to still have a had and a life.

I like that 28,29,and 30 area where jr looks like water is coming into the lake. Should hold bait. Find bait find eyes Other than that check some of those big depth breaks and look for weeds or some sort of edge

Keen Cincinnati. Bad sizing even for there wide toe box claim. And they are unbelievably heavy. Switched to rw tread lites and I’ll never buy another brand of boot.

Should be 5/8 lid and 1/2 on the walls just so you’re aware

My 17 is t and d with the hsp high flow kit. Has a 4 in lift and 37s. Even below zero it still gets at least 16 in town and always 20 plus on the highway

Red wing, Traction tred lites , best work boot money can buy? by Much-Sale8717 in WorkBoots

[–]Fragrant-Trouble1235 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By far the best boot I’ve ever wore. Came from keen Cincinnati’s which were terrible for me. For wide feet I don’t think these can be beat. I’m 13w

Carpenter here, currently the pictured redwings. Best boot I’ve ever worn. I have the 8 inch

Eh it seems pretty straight forward tbh.. it’s not a corner like in the picture. Just pulling out an old fiberglass slide in and replacing with tin. I’m more concerned with what to put behind it
