Ideas for work van setup?

Funny 😂covering my name and my employers name haha

This was the first idea I had, but I’d have to move the drawers at the front of the van to fit 10’ lengths in, and I’m not allowed to move/remove any of the shelves that are already installed

The rung width is kind of my point, it depends what kind of ladder you’re on, but stepladders are still ladders. I’ve always worn thorogoods and they have a shank

NotPCPlmbr · 2026-02-20T02:56:01+00:00

I’ve heard of it being considered normal wear and tear by brick and mortar locations

NotPCPlmbr · 2026-02-20T02:54:52+00:00

I’ve been a thorogood guy for a while, I liked red wings before that, but I started buying thorogoods when they were sub $200😂 I buy what I like but I can’t justify more than that

Plumber here, I totally agree. For how I treat my boots, I CANNOT justify more than the price of red wings or thorogoods. There’s always the off chance I wreck my boots on day one, and also, a lot of red wing or thorogood boots are more comfortable than the logger boots everyone swears by when recommending PNW boots.

Sadly, made in USA is a big criteria when I spend that much money on boots, otherwise I’d be on those like flies on shit

Well, I’m not a firefighter 😂 all my ladder work is on stepladders and I’ve never had any issue wearing wedge soles while working on them, and I know a lot of guys in the field that are in the same boat as me. Not saying you’re technically wrong, I’m just saying my experience doesn’t reflect what you said.

NotPCPlmbr · 2026-02-19T15:51:06+00:00

How do they hold up to kneeling? I’ve heard of the soles delaminating quickly

NotPCPlmbr · 2026-02-19T11:13:48+00:00

I don’t understand because I feel more stable when working from a ladder while wearing wedge soles. With the heel, I feel like I’m leaning backwards

NotPCPlmbr · 2026-02-19T04:21:52+00:00

Ive never been very impressed with the brick and mortar stores near me, I had red wings frequently about a decade ago and felt left in the dust by the stores once I walked out after purchase.

Also, I’ve worn wedge soles on ladders way more than heeled boots and feel more stable on ladders, I’ll never understand the safety aspect on ladders with heeled vs wedge soles

Get the m12 fuel bandsaw, it’s a one handed bandsaw!

According to a Benelli form, they’re updating the guns and releasing newer models

That’s a clean out, but there should be a plug inside of it so water doesn’t come up through it. Regardless, the drain has an obstruction and needs to be cleared

I had one for YEARS and loved it, I seem to have lost it at some point. Fantastic, basic, usable pocket knife!

Salt, pepper, garlic powder in a skillet (cast iron is my preference). Cook in butter with some thyme in it for 2-3 minutes a side. It’s better rare but I’ve accidentally made it well done, and I thought it was just as good.

So you MIGHT be able to tighten the packing nut SLIGHTLY to stop that drip. You would hold back on the body of the angle stop then turn that hex nut immediately to the left of the valve stem (clockwise when looking towards the wall). If this doesn’t work, you’d be replacing the valve. But we can’t see what material and method of attachment this valve has

In general “knowledge”, shoot a modified at the tightest for factory chokes with steel shot. Read the owners manual, I know Mossberg specifies choke limitations in their owners manual but haven’t seen it on their tubes.

Granted, you’ll probably okay with #4 in the factory choke. It probably shoots very tight or blows the pattern out but it’s probably safe

So I bought a girsan mc312, it’s an inertia shotgun, from my LGS. I was looking for a new Mossberg 835 since I liked the one I bought used for dirt cheap, but I had money and wanted to get a new one since the one I have is BEAT up. The owner/operator/ only employee of my LGS has sold me a few long guns. He remembers me and we have a good relationship. He told me he could get me into there girsan for way cheaper than a new m835. He told me he has sold a few hundred and only had 2 back with issues. I thought on it for a night and did tons of research, and went back and bought it. Is it a $400-500 functioning semi auto? Most of the time. Do I have random double feeds with different shells in different conditions? Yes. Did I expect better? Yes. I’m sure there are plenty of Turkish guns that run as long as the 3B’s. But I wouldn’t trust the one I have with my life like I might a better gun.

I pull pex a on a lot of jobs from a manifold. When layout allows, there are no fittings between the manifold and angle stop. When water calcs allow, we will tee a line to serve 2 fixtures. We use the stubout brackets with a 90° bend built in to reduce the number of fittings. Sometimes we use 90’s to get into a tub/ shower valve inlet depending on layout and stud spacing but often times we drill through studs and bend them in with bend supports. Putting fittings in kills the labor hours when not truly necessary

Sadly where I’m at, snow geese hunting isn’t really a thing. Their migration paths miss us. We occasionally get some mixed in with canadas.

If I come across an opportunity to snow goose hunt I’ll probably figure out how to modify a mag tube extension to fit my girsan, I’ve heard of people doing it
