Spectricide will be your friend

 

All the work for the foundation, even just for the garage section

Is that ok with dogs? I've never used anything on the yard because they try to chew things

 

Yes but it needs to be put down right before it rains and the dogs need to be away from the treated area for 24 hours afterwards. But after 24 hours you are good. I have my beagle/dachshund and he is a huge chewer and digger.

 

I suspected that..just that it probably costs more to excavate, level, pour etc. I have a small jog in the back of my house that is kinda wasted space but I bet it wouldn't be cost effective to expand.

Good point re the doggos. I get my yard sprayed but my cats never go out. Whatever you do don't use Seresto on them at all..killed my friend's 2 pooches

 

Oh no

 

For those who live in MA. I’m thinking of doing a 2.5” lift kit on my 05. Anyone running a lift? How are inspections? Do they give you a hard time?

 

No problem with a small lift.

 

I use it in my yard but I put it down right before a good rain and watch him for a time thereafter, making sure he isn’t eating the grass. After it’s watered it, it seems to be fine.

 

You will be fine with a 2.5 inch with a DCSB no problem. No issues.

 

Great thanks guys

 

I had an idler going in my 2011 at probably the 100k mark. It sounded like I had a supercharger under the hood.

Also lost a belt on the highway, managed to get off the next exit before the temperature went too crazy and pulled into the first driveway I saw and asked the old lady living there if I could leave the truck there while I walk to a parts store and grab a belt. She looked at me for a minute and said I didn't look like I was a shady type of person so she would drive me since it was a few miles. I ended up leaving the cash she refused under her windshield wiper when I left. I was in Pennsylvania on a Sunday so having it towed wasn't realistic - if it weren't for her it would have been a much longer day.

 

I believe it. I am about 9k into an 8x16 shed and that is just on a crushed stone pad that I made.

 

I have a 3" lift and have no problem on stock tires getting a sticker

 

Saw an Fn! Ferrari today go by me on of all places, a stupid congested bypass up by me. Up by me means it's 50/50. Some days you see a horse and buggy, and others you see a canary yellow open top F'n Ferrari!

Seeing one is one thing. Hearing one go by at at around 50 mph in what sounded like a lower gear made my loins stir.

 

So I made another dumb decision.

I've been saving for a QuickJack for the past year and a half. They just listed a refurbished BL-5000SLX on their site for $975+tax. The newest version (TLX) doesn't fit the C5, but the older versions (SLX) do. I had more than enough to cover it in my QuickJack fund so I jumped. Here's to hoping that the refurbished unit isn't totally destroyed. A new one that wouldn't even work without modification is at least $400 more on sale. If I buy the adapters I could get it to lift the Tacoma most likely as it's still under 5,000 pounds, but given how easy it is to get the Tacoma on jack stands it's not exactly a must have. The C5 is near impossible to get in the air saefly with a floor jack and I keep running into problems with the car being overfilled on oil changes. This lets me not worry about that at all. I also want to check / inspect a few things under there while I can.

 

Absolutely, it's always wild to hear and feel cars like these

 

Come to fed hill on a Friday or Saturday night.

Granted they'll be going like 2 miles per hour because it's bananas but, they're all around.

 

Took down the tire swing and now I wonder how much trimming to make these fit?

 

Easy day lol

 

Good Morning!

My friend sent me this to start my week off by ruining it, so here it is to ruin all yours too!
