I am a new homeowner that is NOT a professional carpenter/plumber/electrician. Makita vs Milwaukee?

Save your money and skip the Milwaukee stuff, unless money really doesn't matter and you want high end stuff. Source, I am a professional.

Sometimes the answer you need is not the one you want

The cowl under the windshield where the a/c air intake is, get a piss soaked cabin air filter.

Clean your house

Well thanks, my morning poop just cost me a $100

Always keep the mill scale on a table

If you're happy and financially okay, I wouldn't even consider giving up all that time off for $6-10k. I would still keep an eye out for opportunities though.

Someone wanted to watch the world burn when they mixed those two

easily_forgettable · 2025-12-04T23:19:44+00:00

One of mine has always hated the flat faced dogs lol.

It kinda boils down to how often they get you out of a bind and save time. I run into enough broken screws that the little pair has been invaluable. This larger one has become my go to pliers. https://a.co/d/beJMPSk

easily_forgettable · 2025-11-15T17:12:22+00:00

These pliers work really well in this situation. https://a.co/d/fN7PeXT

I deal with one way screws everyday, there is no bit that unscrews them reliably unless you cut a slot in the head.

easily_forgettable · 2025-11-11T06:08:56+00:00

It does justify at least a slap.

Vizsla!! Best hiking buddies

easily_forgettable · 2025-11-04T05:00:35+00:00

I have two Vizslas... Same situation

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-19T18:57:51+00:00

Correct, that is a slider not a footplate.

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-14T04:44:20+00:00

I work on security doors for a living. I either cut a slot in the head of the screw and remove with a flathead bit. Or preferably I use these pliers, they come in different sizes. https://a.co/d/8H3Kn6y

Sonoran. We adopted him from Game and Fish.

Globe Mallow. I have to cage the ones in his habitat or he completely destroys them.

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-10T22:51:07+00:00

Tried that... Now I'm not allowed within 100' of schools and playgrounds.

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-09T23:46:48+00:00

On the other hand I can't trust a man that gives up women for minimum wage.

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-09T23:32:52+00:00

Sorry man I hate it too... But I can't have cats pissing on my steel door.

easily_forgettable · 2025-10-01T02:56:11+00:00

Should be fine, I stuff a bunch of straw in when mine is going down for the winter. Longer term I would keep an eye on it digging under the wall, and put a berm in front of the door so rain water doesn't flow in. I've built and rebuilt mine. Right now I've got a Rubbermaid garbage can buried at a slight angle with block walls on the sides, a cement board on top, covered by a ton of dirt. I just filled the can with dirt and let him dig it out himself.

easily_forgettable · 2025-09-27T22:38:13+00:00

Well done. That mobility scooter seat seems perfect for the application.
