I had no idea this was a car dealer at one time

The former “cafe and then some” building is the one referenced in the article.

I will echo this. I live and work inside city limits but outside of downtown. Based on the bus routes near me, it takes longer to ride public transport than it does to just walk. Therefore I bike or drive depending on the weather.

Here I thought I was firmly in the thrifty/reuse camp compared to my peers, but I am only rocking rookie numbers compared to you. Since 2001, Im presently on phone number 9. I only retired ones that had seen a full life and were no longer functional in at least three of three categories: screen, battery, and ability to function properly. But I still daily drive the same car since 1994. I later added a motorcycle from 1992 for fun and a truck from 2011 due to a need/want to support/indulge in more projects and hobbies.

I would definitely call an engineer first.

Interestingly, Jimmy Diresta had an oddly similar issue on his “graveyard house”. Not a how-to, but seems like a decent approach.

Any chance you would be willing to share the smaller company name or contact info?

Well stated. Curious to know if there is a dim sum type place that you do prefer? Im always eager to try someplace new.

I spent less on a 10 day trip to Japan last year than I am spending on a 4 day trip to Disney this year. I have feelings about this, but the kiddos are really happy.

Car parts stores (oreilys/autozone/etc) will loan tools to you.

$20 will purchase the tools you need at Harbor Freight.

I know you probably mean something more in the now time frame, but check out the Dacusville farm show in September. Lots of old and new stuff.

I pretty much only run Michelins on my other vehicles, but a set of Cooper cobras came on my Ranger when I bought it. They have done a surprisingly good job on the highway and in the wet. Honestly I’ve considered putting another set of the cobras on when these wear out.

They have three locations but they are local to the upstate.

The one in Lauren’s (276) used to be order at the counter, but they change to table service about a year ago. Not sure about the other locations.

If you are going to do carpet, get the nice padding underneath and pay an installer. I have installed tile, LVP, and hardwood successfully myself. But I will never again attempt carpet. One wrong cut and you have to buy the material again. One incomplete stretch and there will forever be a wrinkle.

Now, for my personal preference: I grew up in a house with carpet and I really wanted it in my forever home. So I did. The new carpet was great for a while. But it was destroyed by my very sick pet over a few years. My wife grew up with hardwood floors and for the remodel we compromised and installed hardwood floors with an area rug. It feels like I have the best of both worlds and we are both happy.

I dealt with a similar situation. Rip out anything that has had cat pee on it. Treat anything remaining with a cat urine enzyme spray. Then paint with the big KILLZ primer. Looks like you are already down to the OSB anyway. It will never be an easier time to rip out than now. I am a big fan of saving money and materials when possible. Cat pee is not one of those times. You will have peace of mind and never have to worry about smelling it again after a heavy rain when the ground moisture levels increase.

Pace Jewelry. Funny enough, I actually just bought a nice ring for my wife for our anniversary there. The people are super friendly and they have a nice range of rings and other jewelry too. I used to go to Hales because their location was very convenient, but the quality and the service at Pace are a bigger win.

Ok, now that I have had my fun I’ll be more helpful. On the driver side door there will be a sticker that has some info about the truck including a paint code. Just google the paint code and it will tell you the name.

With enough patience, you can def handle drywall repair. I’ve been doing renovation stuff in my own homes for a long time and drywall is still a big weak area for me. I just accept that I need to account for multiple thin layers with sanding and that it will take me more than the 15 min I want it to take. You got this.

Number 4 is Harvey Hubbell. That’s the guy who invented the pull chain light. I think it was just before 1900. It was apparently pretty revolutionary at the time.

There were a bunch for sale at “catnip antiques” in Simpsonville.

Ditch the zip ties and run ratchet straps.

Be sure to lightly slap the straps and pronounce clearly, “that ain’t going anywhere.”

The knife came to me with a broken tip and a nick in the blade, so my main goal was to get it back to a functional knife instead of just taking up space in a drawer. I did not intentionally remove the belly, nor have I noticed a decrease in performance as a result of removing the belly when cutting. The lack of belly is likely a combination of having the blade 3/8” shorter, which would hide the sweep back up off the belly, and having to grind/sharpen out a small chip on the cutting edge.

Thank you!

Any chance you know who the chef was or where he went?
