    Whoa. That is crazy. I can totally see the homeless around here stalking move ins like that. Every time I think that they found a new limit, it just gets work. There are peeps camping pretty much in traffic now in some spots. Like they have shit draped over the guard rails and sitting on the shoulder of the freeways. It's insanity on all levels.


    I feel bad for your friend. It had to certainly spoil the entire move, not only planning for the next steps.

    Unfortunately the consequences for shitty behavior aren't enough to deter more shitty behavior

    I need to cut mine for the same reasons. What tool did you use since it's made of thick rubber.

    I originally used a utility knife, but I recently traded my mat. It was a SB one. Finally got an LB one. There, I did the front four holes with a 3.0in hole saw. Perfect cuts, but the last bit can be wrist snapping.

    Good point though. I forgot to mention that I used some scrap 1x3 as a backer.

    Funny enough, today I just added d-rings in the holes you cut in the mat I got from you. Thanks for the swap!

    Give all of them free trips to Orcas Island, FFS. Rename it Hobo Island, and fence the damn thing off from the rest of us. Airdrop in all the drugs.
