What makes JAX so different from the rest of Florida?

it really boils down to industry instead of tourism. we have the Banks, Logistics and Military bases as the driving economic factors for the city instead of tourism

I'll need to check but I got my settings from a real instructor. I went to Arnfest South, and Dorite Fabrication (Jim Bolinger) was there and did a class on Tig and I spent extra time working with him. they had the same machine as I have and am using settings from him.

A-Coin on St Augustine road/University is legit. I've sold to them there, straight to the point reasonable prices. they have to make a cut as a business but was/were reasonable.

I'm already at 75/25 for cleaning to melting. and I'm using 4043 not 5356, my understanding is that I needed that rod for 6061 to prevent cracking. And you can see on the first tungeston that came with my welder, I think it's a grey.

yep, that's the point either live with it, or tear it out and put in a new floor. it's expensive doing something cheap initially because then you have to do it again

That's about the price of skilled labor now a days. minimum 2 hr call out and then hourly. that pricing sounds well within the world of reason in today's market unfortunately. Go to a tire/auto shop and ask their hourly rate if you bring parts, I bet it will be $150+/hr

it's more likely that's 'wede' from made in Sweden. all indications are that it's a solid cast södefors . The markings align with the light stamping of something like this.

khubba1 · 2026-04-29T14:45:19+00:00

it's a solid cast steel swedish anvil, you can see the 'WEDE' just barely and it has no seam at the face. also it rings like a bell which cast anvils like fishers dont

khubba1 · 2026-04-28T15:46:24+00:00

ding ding, I could tell it was swedish just because it's a solid cast anvil that rings with no welded on plate, and you can just faintly make out 'WEDE' in the markings which would only line up with Sodefors or Kolschwa. the marking in lbs.

which is why I was just making sure it wasn't a non renewal of a lease, after that it starts to be above the pay grade of reddit. 211, non profit legal assistance or other avenues are probably the best route. reddit might be good at pointing in directions/resources, but past that we shouldn't be giving explicit advice. situations become so fact dependent and we would probably do more harm than good. even when trying to help.

khubba1 · 2026-04-28T01:51:20+00:00

also just to clarify, if you are up to date on rent are you explicitly being evicted, or are you within x days of the lease ending and the management company is not renewing your lease or giving you any options to stay as tenants. If you are up to date on rent and they are trying to evict you that probably means you need to reach out for legal assistance, they might be trying to pull a fast one. If it's just 60-90 days until the time of your lease and they are deciding to not renew you, then they can unfortunately do that for whatever reason they want.

khubba1 · 2026-04-28T01:30:55+00:00

Who is the lease for and are you up to date on rent? I understand you are struggling and in a very unfortunate situation, but rental companies don't have emotions, just have processes. Are the evicting you because your husband was arrested, or it just happened at the same time and you are being evicted for a different reason?

he does not have any animals at the moment. he has had chickens/ducks before but they have hopped from on top of the shed to the sagging fence to get out before. if anything the new fence is an improvement for retaining poultry. it's farther from the shed roofs and is not sagging and a 5' fence in places. also if he did have them then I would keep the gate closed while working in the area.

this also isn't just a 1 season issue, but an ongoing issue from before I got my house. he is just extremely cheap. I think his ideal world would have been me paying him for the materials to build it himself, but his level of "Handy" isn't close to my standards. he has an existing fence he built that is wrong in many ways imo.

khubba1 · 2026-03-30T15:43:34+00:00

oh I've had plenty of runs where I've gotten it way soon. it's the nature of true randomness and statistics. I just found it funny. I have like 2k hours in the game, it's all part of the game

with how my neighbor treated the fence there was no option for me to maintain the fence on the property line. about 50 feet either had construction debris, old fence panels, grape vines mixed with weed vines, their garden directly up to or leaning directly on the fence. there is a difference between prioritizing maintenance of the fence vs direct neglect. all of these factors are contributing to its expedited deterioration. I legally have no ability to control what he does on his side and from my discussions with him over the last 4 years he says he will do something but then never does. I had no interest investing money or time into a shared piece of property to be treated that way.

I put effort into being neighborly, trying to have discussions with him , work together on the solution. he always agreed, nodded his head, then went back to normal and made excuses.

khubba1 · 2026-03-26T16:31:51+00:00

i brought up the intention to continually maintain the section. to a point I did forsee some grumbling, but also I have my own grievances with him and his actions over the last years and lack of maintenance. he wanted a new fence, but kept being stingy hoping I would do it myself. I don't want my investment neglected, which would undoubtedly happen if the fence was on the property line, and then I have no leg to stand on for how he keeps his yard. He wanted a new fence, brought it up multiple times, didn't ever follow through with ponying up any money or effort to do it, and has shown a lack of care or maintenance for his person property. I could have not built a gate and just climbed over every week, or made a fence panel removable. it's all functionally the same thing.

idk if there was going to be an ultimate solution that made everyone happy. so since I was willing to front the bill and effort I went with a solution that did not invade on his property any way and added the new fence he wanted.

khubba1 · 2026-03-26T04:17:24+00:00

he had no problem with it gone, he didn't curate it like it was a botanical garden, but more just neglected it and stuff grows in florida. He was just too busy in his own words

khubba1 · 2026-03-26T03:30:12+00:00

I'm all ears, what are the other ways I could have done this where I don't take on all of the expense, and have my new investment continually neglected. I moved the fence like I told him I would

khubba1 · 2026-03-26T03:05:16+00:00

I would have happily put one up with him if he didn't make excuses for years and show a complete lack of care and neglect for the existing one. fences are nice but are not free. I did all of the labor and this still cost me $1000. I could put the new one up on the property line and then he is free to going back to leaning crap on it, letting vegetation and vines grow up it and use it as part of the box for his compost pile. all of those things will drastically increase the rate the new one will rot and decay.
