Should have gotten a Schlong bed.

 

So many jokes could be made.

@schlongbed was my Instagram handle back in the day when I had my 1989 S10 single cab with an 8 foot bed. Goofiest little truck ever

 

Tell me I can replace my own ductwork! My whole house ducts needs replacing. I'm getting $6k-$7k quotes for what I think will be about $1k in new ducting and accessories. It's in a 3ft crawl space and I get it's a dirty dirty job. But it can't be rocket science. I really really don't like crawling under my house anymore but saving $5k might be worth it.

 

It's really not hard. I've fixed the duct work under my moms house in my teens. I've replaced the whole ac system on my current house with help from one person. Crawling around in a tight spot with the possibility of things that will bite you is the hardest part. Haha

 

Not a bad look..

Mine used to be almost a clone

 

I'm sure it's like roofing, not hard but just a shitty job.

I'm getting to the age where I am paying people to do shit I don't want to do, as the cleaning crew just left.

 

Throw water in it and let it mold and have insurance pay for it

 

I need to replace all the ducting at my house. Luckily it’s all in a open basement with 9ft ceilings

 

I'm 48, I have done and continue to do most of the home repair stuff around the house. I'm at the same point in my life though. Big jobs like that I'd rather just pay someone else.
Just had another guy out to quote us on the job. I'm still waiting on a price, but I like him more so far. He says the main metal ductwork is fine, he can just rewrap it. And fix/replace a few other things. Everyone else was trying to rip it all out and start over. We have a sunroom that is a walled in old carport so it has a separate crawl space. The sunroom has always been hotter and I've assumed it was because all of the windows. Turns out, the main duct under there was partially disconnected! So it was just blowing cold air under the house. He fixed that when he was just out giving us an estimate! That's awesome and will definitely sway my opinion on who to use.

Well hell I'd do that myself!

 

I'm the same way with home repair, I'll do it myself but some shit I farm out. I'll pay people to do tile work for example. I would probably pay people to do duct work if I was in a crawl space or attic. All mines in the basement ceiling so I would just have at myself here lol!!

 

Everyone else was in the $6k range, he comes back and says $2600. SOLD!

 

I find myself farming more stuff out after kids. I just don’t have the extra free time to dedicate anymore. Something might take me a week to accomplish when someone else it might take a day. Things like heating and a/c I can’t leave the wife and kids without while I fumble about with it. Replacing stairs or door frames? Meh sure use the other door for a while. It’s getting to be the same with the car and boat repairs too… maybe I’m getting old and lazy too haha
