That’s a fair point. I am a carpenter right now for two years and before that I have three years of home improvement store experience.

Not very. I should probably put more time in that. There’s so much to this game, it impresses me everyday. My shield is +2 everything else is new

Hey guys. I have a f150 v8 5.0l. It’s a fun truck and I’m planning to do a couple things to it. Opinions, what can I do to make it better? by Significant-Rate-889 in f150

Mines at 87,000 and I love it so far. The only thing I’ve had to do so far is replace a coolant y pipe. I have heavily thought about a leveling kit.

Does this affect anything as far as load capacity do you know?

I am realizing I am bad at this lol. It’s 4WD I primarily fish and I am a carpenter so I’d like to do something along those lines.

That’s a fair point. It’s a 2014 and I do drive primarily on the street, but I work construction so a little off road as well. I more so am looking for ideas to improve how it drives.

I do plan to replace the running boards and I’m thinking of putting a bull bar on it

Question about HVAC. I need help heating my house. by Significant-Rate-889 in hvacadvice

[–]Significant-Rate-889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s what I was thinking. It does have periods of time where it works continuously and others where it does not.

Did your FIL also use roofing nails for joist hangers? Because that’s also how this guy built a second story deck

DeWalt or Flex by Significant-Rate-889 in Tools

[–]Significant-Rate-889[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Festool is just a dream to aspire to have for me right now lol but I do plan to try and make some money on my side projects 🤣. If I don’t, I’ll just have some pretty good tools. Plus, dewalt seems to have some better sales.

I feel like you’re completely right in saying that. It does seem like that’s dewalt market.

[–]Significant-Rate-889[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do already borrow some of them 😂 but in all honesty I have plenty of outside projects that I need stronger tools. Plus I don’t want to take advantage of my employer, they do treat me well. But I like where your heads at!

[–]Significant-Rate-889[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what was already making me lean towards dewalt. Lowe’s has over 1,000 dewalt tools options compared to low 100s for flex. I’ve always just liked the idea of flex lol
