Sorry to hear of your tough times. Do your best to not let it get to you and feel free to vent.

 

best wishes mike and im sure others feel the same

 

looks like ass,umm i mean assembly-lol. yes it does look good. easy to install arent they.

 

Yep.
Fast.

 

Seeing how we're posting photos of our home repair projects. Here's mine. @Kolunatic - looks familiar? Yep, "It's clean"...

 

The whole time I kept thinking at least it isn't ice! Actually there was a thin layer about a foot up in it but not enough to cause a problem. I hate ice more and more each year and each storm. So not really complaining so much about snow.

Got the grills ready to go and deck done, the sun and warmer weather coming will take care of the rest. It is almost March after all. Those May snow storms are a kick in the groin and hope they stay away from everyone this year.

 

Looks nice, that is my next project was going to go look at them this weekend. Not sure why but mine seem low although measure standard height. I want to look at one at HD that is listed as one inch taller than standard.

 

This one is "chair height". Definitely taller - comfy as long as your over 5' tall. American Standard Vormax. Anything with a combo of vortex and maximum must be... (I hope). I replaced a 5 gallon unit from, I think, 1952.

 

So I decided to try cordless tools again. I learned to hate cordless to the point of throwing a Makita set in the trash. Batteries were junk, the tools were gutless and I was just fed up. I'd tried others brands in the past but was not impressed in the least...and the Makita set was already on my truck when I started.

So now, after watching what my seasonal guy does with his DeWalt 20v, I'm not totally sold on all of it, but I really like the 1/4" impact driver/ drill and the 1/2" drill/driver so much I went and bought that combo set today. He has a larger impact I will also add eventually, but this is good for now.

I did learn there are different models of the same item style, so if you go there, do some homework before you plunk down the cash. The better stuff is pricier but that's where the better gear is. Brushless motors, better chucks, more life out of a battery charge.

 

Gotta love a clean throne!

 

The Xfinity race at Daytona is running out of cars and the race is no where finished yet . Even the Track safety crew is worried they don't have enough speedy dry if any more cars crash out

 

They are handy. After my friend told me the following, I've never charged mine unattended again. My friend's dad was the manager of the 1.2 million sq ft former new departure manufacturing building in Bristol, Ct. My buddy stored his cars there and had a workshop. He left his DeWalt battery charging and it caught fire. Only thing that stopped the building from burning down was the fire rated door and the fire alarm. The entire work shop - gone. Nothing salvaged.

 

Nice looking Thunder mug !!!

 

I updated my Dewalt set to the 20 lipo. Glad I stayed with Dewalt . Broke the case on the new one and its the same part on the old 18 v nicad. Saved me more than 100.00 and just swapped cases.

 

Tell me about it! Firestone roofing was leasing space in the building making flat roof foam panels. Talk about a fire if it got over there!

 

Dam ! You all been Busy!

Thanks Mike! Goter Done!

 

Hope all the folks in the DC Metro/ NOVA came thru the storm okay. It just went through bout 30 minutes ago, lots of hail and high wind. A quick walk around the house and vehicles shows no obvious damage. Stay safe.

 

I try not to leave anything like that unattended. Too much bad can happen. I don't even leave cords plugged into my truck.

 

Nice job!
