Colorado B.S. Thread

New tires and wheels was able to put them on late this afternoon. Sorry for the crappy phone/ safeway parking lot picture. Goodyear duratracs 265-75-16 with method double standard rims. Now i just need to add a little lift from toytec and i can add some other goodies. Slowly coming together.

That's so cool enjoy!!!!

 

Fridge died yesterday. FML

Just had to remove the cabinet above to make room for the new fridge.

Which won't be delivered for another 3 weeks :/

 

that sucks, how are you keeping stuff cold for 3 weeks?

 

Bought a dorm fridge at Costco (which will be returned). Meanwhile most of my food was saved by bringing it to my GFs to store in her freezer/fridge.

Just not an expense I was planning on. Especially after dropping 5k on my crawl space last week.

 

Haha me too! See you there!

 

Have fun you guys!!!!

 

Well I just felt a little bit of jealousy kick in there for a sec. JK Gents! Looking forward to the pics.

 

Yeah where's the pics?!

 

Paid off my truck earlier this year, and within one week the A/C went out (AGAIN). Tech shows up, looks into things... explains the hundreds of dollars it'll be to fix the cheap ass A/C and, oh by the way, I have to red tag your 20+ y.o. furnace because of visible cracks in the exchange (think that's the right word). Talk about expenses not planned for... decided to go new and quality since I didn't want to invest again in the old and the cheap. Darn setup was almost as expensive as the truck payoff.

 

I hear ya.

Figuratively speaking I felt the salesman double fishhooking me as he mounted up grinning.

 

My Dad replaced both A/C's on his 1500 sq ft ranch house outside of Phoenix. One's a 10 ton, one's a 2.5 ton (which is just for the master bedroom). He easily spent 16k on both. But his electric bill in the summer down there went from $500/mo to $200 at the same cooling level so that was nice.


Kind of glad I rent sometimes.

 

Hmmm, I might be moving to the Springs.

 

Yep, that's right about what I paid. F'n sucks.

Funny you should mention the drop in utility... We had the duct system sealed up (they did a 99% job of it, if you can trust their test), and turns out the old furnace was oversized for the house. In went a more appropriate and way more efficient system. The last two bills from Xcel were a credit... I can only guess the system is so efficient that there's less demand from the solar panels and we clearly produced more energy than we used.

 

I'm big on solar; I'll be putting in a system as soon as I get a place. Something about generating my own appeals to me; that and solar is so cheap these days.
