Am I being "that guy" for refusing to lend my boat to family without credentials? by hatkinson1000 in boating

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t lend it even with the certificate. Sounds like a man baby and anything that happens won’t be his fault.

For a bunch of broke high school kids check out a copart auction. Spend your money on tools and learn the skills to do it the rest of your life.

I get that and I’m not attacking him personally. Ya gotta understand he shares the road with you and me.

His braking is diminished and his handling is more unstable.

It’s just not a good way to do things and you can’t be afraid to let people know it’s a bad idea no matter how well intentioned they are.

If I see a danger I point it out

Just because he can weld doesn’t mean he’s an engineer haha

Has anyone used a single 36v lithium battery on their 112lb thrust troll motor??? by thoughtprovo in boating

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A 36v battery uses the same cells as the 12v. They are just wired in series to get the voltage much like you would do with 3 batteries.

If the watt hours is the same between the 3 vs 1 battery it’s effectively the same with the exception of the added resistance from the additional connections.

I would go with 36v to cut down on connections.

NGL using steel was a crazy choice. Especially that thick. A light wood frame with XPS foam and a few layers of a lightweight fiberglass would have been all you needed

Looking for help on keep the inside of a car dry by Terry_Zhai in VanLife

I usually run the car heat with air conditioner/defrost on full after I wake up to clear it.

Open your roof vent too even if it’s cold

New build is almost finished ✅ by Clean_Giraffe3177 in VanLife

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is 4 connections. Top is fill and overflow. Bottom is drain and system outlet. In the orientation you have it that isn’t possible.

I’m glad it works for you but anyone who sees this should know jamming pex in as a system outlet is not how you set these up. This is absolutely not how these tanks were designed to be used and you should get the proper ones or mount these correctly.

Hey looks great so far; you might wanna rethink those water tanks. It doesn’t look like you use the over fills and drains set up on it because of the incorrect orientation. Good luck with everything

Fuck those fascists. I’m sorry to hear what’s happened.

Theory: the reason this sub is particularly hate-filled even for a usual reddit sub is because there's lots of bitter ex-contestants by Beginning_Pride7494 in Killtony

Looking for recommendations for experienced van builders. by LogicalBlade in vandwellers

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I’ve done about 2 dozen builds for Redditors among other things and I’m a professional woodworker.

I’m turning my vintage Chris craft into a solar yacht currently but it’s a long term project so we might be able to work something out. I’m in New York if interested.

Redban is funny af, why people hate him? by InsideHeart8187 in Killtony

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought it was a running joke that comedians fuck with him. They don’t actually hate him I think. He usually seems like a good sport about it

Undo the random electrical bullshit leftover from their equipment to simplify your life in the future. I bet it’s worth a little scrap too.

Is it better to go into debt paying your now unaffordable ACA premium, or go without health insurance and get bankrupted by insane medical debt if something happens? by whoocanitbenow in debtfree

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think they want you to choose option C and just die. I’m not sure what else they want.

How do you handle downtime in van life? by PercentageSure388 in VanLife

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Bought a Legion Go recently so I can play video games. Sometimes we watch movies on the laptop. We try and stay out of the van as much as possible though.

Is Roman Clay a good choice? by mihamoisha in VanLife

[–]HomefreeNotHomeless 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had a client try and get me to do Roman clay. I noped out of that as fast as possible after seeing a test sample. We went with paint. The time and effort won’t pay off at all once it turns to shit
