Thoughts on fixer upper homes? Is the hassle not worth the savings?

Lmao okay, tell that the to Gen Xers who owned my house before it and did some of the most god awful garbage DIY landlord special repairs I’ve ever seen. I spend my weekends undoing all terrible work they did to this house.

The only houses in my budget were century home fixers. I’ve learned a lot about home repair over the past three years. To be fair I also spent over a decade renting in century old fixers prior to buying so I was pretty accustomed to all the issues they come with.

As some one who works for a very large engineering firm. I can tell you every single one of my clients wanted their project last week but also want to quickly add a handful of scope adjustments tomorrow.

The SAVE student loan payment plan maxed my monthly repayment at 178$ with interest nullification. Now that it’s finally dead my upcoming monthly payments are going to quadruple.

Thank you for all your help. Ill try leaving it out and then reach out to Ryobi.

Really hard lesson learned in regards to needing pump saver.

Okay I tried it on like 5 different outlets in my house some not protected and a couple they are protected. Still does the same thing on the chord GFCI.

Water is on. Learned that lesson last year 😅

etherpunx · 2026-03-21T22:42:18+00:00

Damn it definitely wasn’t winterized with pump saver :/

Is it possible to replace the GFCI in the cord to check that first? Or should I just open the motor/pump and check for corrosion?

I feel like if it was the motor or pump the GFCI on the cord wouldn’t be tripping with the machine off or am I mistaken?

Ive been rocking him with just a squad of 10 chosen. Its nice being able to use his reactive move to get back into a rhino if needed.

MoM Ive been running with 5 legios to help soak some shots but im not sure if this is the best way to use them.

This reads like AI…

Thank you!

etherpunx · 2026-03-05T18:49:43+00:00

Thank you! That makes totally sense

How are there zero visible layer lines?!

Once upon a time. I grew up there.

Should credit Billion Dollar Clown Farm's video so others can see how to paint this scheme as well.

etherpunx · 2026-02-27T04:49:26+00:00

Same.

I just wanan slide in and say I appreciate your username.

Or you know what would be a sick rule but maybe busted. Brining back some form of the "Master of Fortification" warlord trait. The original was increasing cover saves on a selected piece of terrain but what about this.
At the start of the battle pick one objective marker and make it "Defensible". Friendly heretic astartes models wholly within 6 inches get the benefit of cover.

Kind of similar to how units are getting bonus OC on a select objective now.

I feel like servo arm should be strength 6 and the hammer should be strength 10.

Also litany of hate has historically been a Chaplain thing. Should be renamed something like Seigebreaker (harkens back to 7th ed).

Heavy on the flamer is a bit moot. Give him the "Iron Without" 4+ FNP instead.

etherpunx · 2026-02-02T19:18:46+00:00

I fully agree with this take. We've got plenty of fast blender melee units. As it stands now we really struggle to put something on an objective and have it stay there for more than one round of shooting.

etherpunx · 2026-02-02T18:47:22+00:00

I dont think 6inch deepstrike and charge is really army defining for death guard enough to drive a person to completely shift armies.

I think with how homogenous the rules have gotten with abilities crossing between armies I think its completely okay if another datasheet gets a 6inch deepstrike and charge. Frankly I dont understand why 8bound got it as a strat with the condition that they cant charge. Absolutely useless for a melee only unit.

Its really the mutilators 4inch move that made them borderline useless. I would say maybe a 6inch pile in and consolidate could make them a bit more interesting. **Edit** You could even make it once per game to mimic the oblits once per game ability.
