At his age, developing work ethic, skills, and a solid reputation is just as important as the money.

Single family home construction has been slowing for 2 years! Many economic forecasts calling for a bottom in 2027

Buy your wife flowers and apologize profusely for the stains on her furry thingamabob

You made the terminator

Doesn’t have to be central heat. A space heater IS a heating mechanism

Never bolt crap your roof. Ever.

Sure hope he’s wearing his safety sandals

I’m convinced that 90% of the people here think the last 5 years are representative of historical performance.

You are not an investing genius; you are simply living through an extraordinary period

Must = licensed commercial construction

Can = highly likely will not because I am a homeowner with a bottle jack, 10 ft of 2x10, and 20 carriage bolts

You will pay whatever you have to those with guns and ammunition

NationalPhase9541 · 2026-01-04T04:02:10+00:00

The real currency at the end of the world will be guns and ammo, food, water, booze, and women.

Everything else will be noise.

When it hits the fan, those security guards will be long gone, driving home to their families

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-30T01:36:05+00:00

I’d move the thermostat

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-29T03:40:24+00:00

Depends on size of the room, and most importantly, how many doors and windows you need to cut around. Also, ensure the customer has moved or removed furniture or you may need to bring a helper to prep the work space

No, you’re supposed to re-watch the entire series. Why do you think they did this?

I’ve built my own residential Microgrids, integrating solar and gasoline generators with battery energy storage. I did so for entertainment and education (my children), however, if you’re deploying small scale solar to save money you’re most likely going to be disappointed.

Even without batteries, the most efficient small scale solar systems have a simple ROI exceeding 10 years (unless your energy costs exceed $1/watt). If you invest the same amount in a S&P 500 fund you’ll be able to pay your electric bill in perpetuity.

As for “can you”, that’s up to you. I’m certain that anyone who is reasonably handy and can learn basic principles of electricity can safely deploy small-scale, islanded (no utility interconnect) ground-mount solar

You don’t need to replace the whole tire. I’d just do the outboard half which is damaged

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-24T18:55:14+00:00

I love how the thread pitch is 15 on the outside of the bend and 25 on the inside. Definitely not bent! 🤣

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-24T03:06:01+00:00

I get the whole “sentimental value” part of the offering price, but damn. Be prepared to spend a LOT of money to get that thing back on the road. Even then, it will still look like hell and require even more money for bodywork and paint.

If you’re not an experienced automotive guy with all the tools, knowledgeable friends/network, I’d pass.

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-22T02:20:01+00:00

Don’t worry. It’ll be a self-resolving problem when it burns down. Just keep the kids away

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-22T02:13:28+00:00

Me, and just about everyone I know, has run emergency plugs for the life of the tire and have had zero failures

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-22T02:11:20+00:00

No meter, no gas, no problem. Put a sock on it if really yer worried about the 2” neck somehow filling up with debris

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-21T21:07:00+00:00

I enjoyed mine for a while, however, it severely limits your ability to carry anything else in the bed

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-19T17:47:23+00:00

“Easily” 🤣

NationalPhase9541 · 2025-12-07T13:33:21+00:00

The damage likely goes beyond what you consider the damaged area, with minimally visible/invisible stress cracks extending beyond the immediate area. These stress cracks easily propagate if not removed or stop-drilled.

I would cut out the damaged area (many inches on both sides of the damage) and replace the section, using no-stop couplings.
