New England B.S. Thread

Yea I mentioned earlier in the thread this is the first NE winter for me so it will definitely be a learning experience to say the least. How would the bfg 265/65/r17 t/a stand up for the snow around here?

 

EXCLAMATION

1. informal
   used to express frustration or disappointment, typically sympathetically:
   "You lost your wallet? Bummer!"

 

I don't put any weight in my bed. 2 wheel drive and I drive it every day. You just have to drive normal and watch out for morons.

 

I run the KO2's on my Tacoma and i'm impressed enough to buy them again.

 

regarding winter driving this morning was total mayhem in my town. Little bit of black ice had a bunch of minor accidents, one serious and one fatal... is going 80 instead of 60 and getting to work 3 minutes early really worth becoming a cross on the side of the highway?

 

A lot

 

No but the DB bosses at my work would like to think it is

 

Agree with the moron part whole heartedly. When ever schools and businesses let out early in RI, I just stay at work for another 2 or 3 hours to let all the idiots get off the road. Then it's clear driving to get home.

 

what does a lot mean? $5k? $10k? $20k?

 

In my experience an A/T tire will get you there, if it's got the severe weather symbol it'll be pretty good too but I've always gone for a dedicated snow tire. I'm currently running Bridgestone Blizzak DM-V2 snows on my truck.

 

I do drywall but work with a big prefab steel building manu. in Fitchburg, MA called DR Poulin Construction. They can do the whole thing, slab, electric, prefab building. I'm betting on $75-100 a sq ft with permits, excavation, slab, electric and prefab metal clearspan building. Weathertight for $45-60 grand.

 

holy shit that much?? how do people put up cheap garages?

 

Got room for a shed? Some of them are more than big enough as a garage.

 

I might be way out to lunch, I'm a commercial estimator so if you find a residential guy it may be a lot less. But I bet you will be surprised.

 

I need to fit the truck, 2 bikes, and the trailer

 

They build them out of wood instead of steel, for starters...

 

Steel will cost more than a traditional framed garage I suspect. One of the prefab drop and then pour the foundation in after will probably be the cheapest.

 

Right, she mentioned prefab steel which is expensive. Find a backyard builder and build in wood. Just shipping a prefab steel building can be $8k or more.

 

I know it's nc, but down there I have friends that tear houses down and rebuild for 30k. I didn't think a garage would be that much unless it was a pimp set up

 

I was thinking as it got bigger a metal one would be cheaper but I'll look back into a wood one
