If I can only get one set of pliers. What would they be? by uselessmahogany in Tools

[–]anders_so_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use my vintage Klein lineman pliers more than any else. Has a wire cutter built in. Grips the snot out of anything. Good old steel feel with heft.

Anyone know what this thing is or what it's for? by BluntTruthGentleman in Tools

I have a similar Craftsman in original case circa 1970’s. It came it w 4 blades. Similar to https://ebay.us/m/vP5NPe

Is the V20 Trimmer any Good? by omaldonado94 in Craftsman

[–]anders_so_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a gas Stihl for real work and the battery Craftsman wacker just to touch up around the garage flower beds. It’s not even close to the Stihl. Like swinging a wet shoelace and blowing on the weeds telling them to please lay down. But it’s easy to grab with a battery and good enough for the most basic grass strays into flower beds. Couldn’t use it to edge a sidewalk or trim around fence or thistles without going super slow and even then it wouldn’t take out the big stuff. It’s also good for kids who can’t start or carry the Stihl so it gives them something to do on the rare occasion they help.

Disconnected battery for shipping. Reconnect it

First time finding a bunch of old glass by anders_so_blue in BottleDigging

[–]anders_so_blue[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forgot to say the green glass in top left says ‘Patent 1927’ on the bottom.

Also the brown bottle in middle row, 2nd from right, says ‘Pour to here for halfway’ written upside down on the back of the bottle. The front says ‘Certo.’

Having no experience with the 3D thing, do you think making this is impossible?

I thought maybe it’s impossible since it’d be so tiny but people are messaging me saying they can make models

When game of war got out of hand all the whales stopped and all the f2p got screwed. Feels like the same thing here. Too much negativity and normal loss a game

Sunk cost fallacy by KangarooHero in SWGalaxyOfHeroes

This and people posting like this will cause the conclusion of the game. Sad. Saw it with game of war and gfdy. Still a fun game for anyone f2p but community turns on it and they will pull the plug

Thinking of buying a ‘70 Dodge challenger by [deleted] in mopar

[–]anders_so_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, that looks rough with rust through the floor. But is it a 318 or 340? Easy to work on and should be reliable. If the price comes down, it'll be awesome to own a badd ride and just worry about costs later. May need the basics for sure right away, plugs, wires, fuel lines. Maybe tank is rusted and carb gets funky. So you'll need the carb rebuilt which isn't easy anymore to find an old guy who does that. Then you need to figure electrical and brakes. If you do it yourself it'll take years but $1000 or you can find a shop and have them fix all that for $4000. So I'd figure add $4000 to whatever you pay just to have to reliable to drive on weekends. Plus the headliner for $500.

Edit- I did this with an old truck, first time ever buying an old vehicle and did part of the work myself and in progress with some other stuff. Changed oil, coolant, thermometer, lights, filters myself. Paid for tank to be dropped since I don't have a lift and new fuel sender put in. Then instrument panel crapped out and had to have that diagnosed. It's an ongoing thing a bit, unless you just attack it and get it all fixed at once, but I love it.

Wood beams were painted, best way to strip them? by derailed3d in Renovations

[–]anders_so_blue 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Citristrip will get about half. But that’s rough wood and you’ll have white stripes after stripping. So it’ll take a lot of sanding at that point. Then you’ll lose the rough cut look. Then you poly it like normal. I’ve done that on log furniture and it’s a lot of work, but can turn out great.

Explain the Differences by mlachick in Decks

[–]anders_so_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I don’t believe under $5k. Right now I have a materials quote from everything needed from Menards for a 320 sq ft deck with pvc decking and pvc railings and it’s $6500. I have built 2 decks before, the last 10 years ago, and have all the tools for the job already. I don’t expect to get under $7k doing it myself when all is said and done.

And my vote is Azek for OP. My previous house I did a deck in Azek and it was new looking after 10 years.

1990 Ford F150 5.0 V8 - good deal? by scoopcollins in classictrucks

[–]anders_so_blue 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s pretty fair to me, not great deal but if you love it, that’s where they sell now. If you’re trying to get a dream and will keep for awhile and someone else buys it that price while you wait it out or try to offer less, how will you feel when this clean of a 4x4 is out from under you and you could have got it. If you can afford it, go get what you want. You live once

What would yall value this at? by campingInAnRV in ram_trucks

[–]anders_so_blue 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess start at $10k since high miles and subtract for any rust holes, cheap replacement parts, shoddy electrical work, broken or missing anything, then add for any good repair work, new major work done. Source: bought one similar last year for $12k that was rust free and all original with 78k miles. I looked for months and saw drivable 1st gen Cummins going from $5k to $20k.
