Following up from this post Link, I ventured into the suggested Wrangler 13mwz (pic 1) and Naked and Famous Easy Guy (pic 2). Planning to keep both but being more of a boot person, I think the wranglers will become my new go to pair.

For reference I normally wear Levi’s 541 in a 30x32.

Pairs/Brands tried:

Wrangler 31mwz 30x32- way too much of a leg opening for me. Fit felt very baggy.

Wrangler 13mwz 30x32 - Better on the slimmer leg compared to the 31mwz but too slim in the waist and thigh. Leg length had too much stack as well.

Wrangler 13mwz 31x30 (pic 1 and after 1 cold wash and air dry) - Better in the leg length and waist. Was a little snug in the waist when first wearing but within the first day they became more relaxed. After wearing 3 days this week, they got comfortable.

Naked and Famous Easy Guy 30 (pic 2)- Felt good in the waist and thigh. Leg opening isn’t big enough for boots but they will look better with tennis shoes compared to the wranglers.

Planning to keep the N&F and 13mwz and as my Levi’s start to wear out, will likely replace with the wranglers. Thanks again for the suggestions.

I’ve had this 40v 14 inch chainsaw for years now and they no longer make it. Today I was using it to cut down overgrown limbs and hit part of a chain link fence. It caused the chain to come loose and now the tension piece no longer tightens or loosens. It just spins like it’s not connecting to a thread. Are there replacement parts for this? I have around 3 40v batteries so would like to still get use of them before I use this as an excuse to get a new saw.

Before photos in comments!

Still want to find some art to place over the shelf, but this labor of love project is done for now. If I can figure out how to put photos in comments, I'll upload the befores. Updates made:

- 6 layers of flooring removed and tile put in. Yes 6 layers. The house was built in 1949 and seems that each owner just kept layering it on.

- Medicine cabinet removed which revealed a large 14x18 inch hole. Assuming this is where the original in wall cabinet was. Dry walled over and new mirror in place.

- New light fixture

- Wood trim removed that ran halfway up the wall.

- New paint. Original was upper half grey and lower half another shade of green.

- New shelf from some 2x8 wood and diy distressing and staining

- New towel and toilet paper holders

- Painted the vanity. Formerly white.

I’ve had these Levi’s 541 jeans for at least three years and this hole in the inner thigh is enough for me to look to buying new jeans. For background, I have around 7 pairs of these same wash 541s and am noticing them all start to get thinner in areas. Do I use this as a transition to better quality or selvedge jeans? If so, which brands and fits would be similar to the 541s?
