I remember watching an old episode of The Three Stooges where they were carpenters, the circular saw looked like it weighed 40 pounds, must have sucked to use.

 

Lol , loved that episode! Think it was worm gear type .

 

And the cat trap, errr box

 

Was supposed to have a planned power outage last night for maintenance. It never happened. Jerks.

 

OT ? or straight time ? Or worse wasted time ?

 

Not at work. My apartment complex. So not getting compensated, just annoyed!

 

It took almost two weeks, but yesterday I finally tested negative! I stopped experiencing symptoms after less than a week, but I didn't test negative until last night (I had lasted tested on Friday and was likely negative on Saturday)...

 

Glad to hear . Now back to work lol.

 

I ran over something on 611, but luckily I wa a within a few miles of my mechanic. Tire ended up being totally fine, minus needing a plug...

 

I don't know what the hell I ran over, but my mechanic thought it looked like bone fragments; I'm obviously thinking that this was roadkill...

I am rearranging the Christmas lights on my truck and came across this rusty crack near the lower left cab corner. How do I fix this before it gets bad?

 

What I would do with my limited experience is have a body shop drill and spray this shit inside the panel.

then weld it up.

It’s already compromised so the idea is to limit how much worse it gets.

the wax will slow the corrosion down internally

 

So this won't even be in the hundreds of dollars to fix?

 

It's hard to tell from such a close-up shot but is that inside or out, definitely will need to be ground down and welded, worst case will need a new section of metal.

 

to fix it correctly would require an entire section to be welded in. Then paint blended

probably 4-5000$ or more lol

 

It's like right on the corner where the door closes...

 

Oh ok that looks like the top side of the rocker panel or sill plate. Once you grind it down to find out how far it extends then you can cut it out and replace it with a new piece.

 

Or you could be me, $1500 for a new oil pan. Rotted out.
