Ya HD lumber sucks, i find lowes to be better. I like to use my local lumber yard when i can, better quality and selection but not as cheap. Framing those platforms can be a pain. I usually stack 2x6s on edge right on top of the ceiling joist and secure them with 3/4 plywood gussets. If you do it that way nail the gussets onto one side of the ceiling joists first, then put the 2x6 in place and nail the gusset to it, then sandwich the 2x6 in with another gusset from the other side. Depending on the lumber i usually do 12" x 10" squares of plywood, one every 4' and alternate them side to side

 

I bought the Blu one. Only $10..I figure why spend $100 or so on one if I don't want to use it long anyhow?

 

I'm still puffing away on my Blu disposable from Rausch. I like it!

 

Just got Fox Racing extended travel reservoir rear shocks for $200. Just need the bushings for the stem (no problem)

Wicked stoked!

 

What you meant to say was "my roommates been giving me shit".

Looks good!

 

Sick lifted 1st gen on cops

 

Martin auto in bridgwater. He is a personal friend. send me a pm and we can talk

 

Morning, I don't feel like working today...

 

Me either but you can never show the wife you are hungover, so I was up and out earlier than normal

 

You're in elev. union? I have good friend with delta.

 

Ya I have been in for almost 20yrs. It was the best thing I ever did getting out of the dealership flatrate bullshit. I never worked for delta

 

If you're going to be in a union, that is probably the best around.

 

I couldnt agree more. What is your buddies name

 

PM sent

 

I'm already at 70hrs just this week. I like the pay but not running around all day then passing out after. I'm stuck with it but I love it too

 

What really pushed me out was no benefits. I was paying 120.00 a week for medical for a single guy. No retirement unless I did it. No 401k. No eye. No dental. Ya the money was great but you have to many people that control you check. The writers control how many veh get booked for the day and if they want an easy day they book it light. Then you have the dispatcher who has a chip on his shoulder towards you. You get all warranty work. Then the parts counter can really fuck your day

 

That's not a bad deal at all!

 

I'm thinking about making a ritual sacrifice to the FedEx g-ds today, in hopes I get lift and have time to install. Perhaps I should burn my regular mail or stab a UPS box???

 

I always have delays with them for some reason. Half the time its a few days late, the other half they deliver the package to the post office in my town on time, them it takes another few days for usps to deliver

 

LOL
