    Google the phrase. They’re luxurious shops with living space inside.

    I prefer a shop with an apartment size living space and an actual house, but of course the barndominium is cheaper per sqft

    Consider drilling a small hole in the pipe. I would angle it the same direction as airflow. Start small and get bigger as needed. Drill in a place you could patch it easily if it doesn’t work.

    It's got a cop motor, a 440-cubic-inch plant. It's got cop tires, cop suspension, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas.
    @whitedlite help me put in a front locker, no gears. 1 day?

    Not doing that again, too much time. Use ECGS for warranty.

    I think a grill vent on the side of cabinet as far away from the vacuum hole as possible would be perfect to adjust suction and airflow.

    I’d just need to find a throw away grill to get the piece from

    That’s bc if a company is 100% one ethnicity or let’s say type it makes them very susceptible to lawsuits.

    We learned about this in HR. It’s happened at completely family owned businesses who have 10 family members working for them. It’s crazy.

    I agree diversity is good and without these laws in the past it would’ve been hard for minorities to get great jobs, but now we’re more worried about growth than anything so I don’t think it’s still an issue.

    Mornin' gents :hattip:

    From AlabamaWX
    HOT, MUGGY JULY DAY: A heat advisory is in effect for much of Central and Northwest Alabama today, where highs will be in the mid 90s and humidity levels will be pretty oppressive. But, all 67 counties will be hot and humid with high in the 90s. A few showers and storms will form during the heat of the day, but they should be fairly widely scattered

    REST OF THE WEEK: The weather will be determined by a developing tropical system in the northern Gulf of Mexico, and a surface front drifting down our way from the north. Here is the latest on the tropical system (now Invest 92L)…

    *A tropical depression or tropical storm is expected to form south of the Central Gulf Coast by Thursday. If it becomes a tropical storm, the name will be “Barry”.

    *The system is not expected to reach hurricane strength. The main impact for coast will come from heavy rain and rough surf/rip currents. An isolated waterspout or tornado is also possible by Thursday; SPC has a “marginal risk” (level 1/5) of severe storms defined on the coasts of Mississippi, Alabama, and the western Florida Panhandle.

    *Once it forms, the tropical system will drift westward; most models have it somewhere around the Sabine Pass (the Texas/Louisiana border) by Saturday. But, don’t focus too much on the center of circulation; the rain shield will extend out a few hundred miles to the east, most likely. The east side will be the wet, onshore flow side.

    [​IMG]

    Rainfall totals for the next 7 days. In Inches. Probably not a good weekend to go fishing in the Gulf.

    I guess it depends on how far West the depression has traveled by Saturday. But as you know those guys have to and need to have perfect weather conditions.

    @Brian422 you should trade bumpers with me before you sell the truck.....

    Might even help resale value.

    Edit: just realized yours is not MGM

    I have not. Still waiting to recoup some money and plus I don’t like summer camping lol

    It’s true but also a money issue.

    Don’t start till next Friday. Sleeping in and yes like Mark said doing yard work. I don’t spend much time on TW without a computer In front of me. I hate mobile.
