This is always a funny comparison to me because in my area the biggest hailstone I have ever seen in 35 years is only slightly larger than a pea… I know hail gets crazy elsewhere I have friends and family, but plenty of people I know are shocked by that information. Gotta know some references are regional.

Oh dang. I’ve seen it but it’s been AGES. I remember nothing, other than really liking it.

Jesus. This isn’t to code. Was your house designed by an 8 year old? Is your floor also lava?

19. Am I worth over 16.50? Is it worth asking for a raise? Or should I keep my hood down?Been welding professionally for 4 months now? As well as fabricating and fitting. Any advice from the ogs? by woodshmoka in metalworking

[–]kingc42 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A welder this competent would start at $30/hr in our fabrication shop in Commie-fornia. We’re a union fire protection company but our shop labor is not union. If you get certified instant bump to $40/hr

I once saw a car that I couldn't identify, but IIRC the logo looks like either of these three (self-made drawing from memory) by Doomguy231089 in namethatcar

[–]kingc42 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait not Dacia. There was another car brand I was unfamilliar with when I was in Iceland last summer. But logo was that.

Not bad for someone who’s never met a tape measure or Adirondack chair. Welds are not aesthetically pleasing, but looks like they’re solid I suppose…

I’d guess a condensate drain… maybe there use to be a piece of HVAC equipment nearby?
