It’s time for a new work boot, I need a recommendation. I have a pair of keen work boots but I barely wear them because they are so heavy and clunky. I’ve been wearing timberland pro powertrain sport and they have been working perfect but I’m technically not supposed to wear them because they are more of an “athletic shoe” than a work boot. Problem is any work boots I find are just too big and don’t flex enough for how I work. I need something I can move fast in. I need recommendations for an athletic work boot that looks like a work boot but I can actually move in. So basically running shoes that look like work boots. Im really not trying to spend more than $150-$200. What do you guys got for me?

My foreman refuses to use hot boxes and thinks they take too long. I told him yeah but you only need one person to operate it. When you are heating up 4” pipe with a torch you need a second person to spin the pipe while you are heating it up. So I made this stupid set up. Notched out a 4” scrap pipe so the pvc can spin freely on it. And then I had an old recessed lighting hole saw that fit inside a 4” coupling. So I used self tappers and screwed the coupling to the hole saw. Used a Velcro strap on my drill to control the speed and voila, hot dog roller.

My wife’s uncle just passed away and was living at his mother’s house who left there to live in a nursing home. So that house is 6 hours away from us and my wife and her dad went to go clear out stuff they were keeping before they put the house on the market and they got a quote from 1800 got junk to get rid of the rest of the stuff they didn’t take and they wanted $11,000!!! That is complete insanity. It’s a one floor maybe 1100 sq ft house. Has anyone had to go through something like this when a relative passes away and you need to throw away stuff that’s left over in the house? We don’t live near there so it’s not as simple as just putting certain furniture on Craigslist or on the side of the road (it’s a retirement community)

I was interested in buying a camper from a private seller. It’s about $9000. I’m not comfortable paying the whole thing in cash because I won’t have a decent buffer in my checking account, so I was going to pay $4000 in cash and $5000 with a credit card I’m opening that has 0% interest for 21 months, and within that time I would easily pay off the rest. Problem is I don’t know how to really pay a private seller with a credit card properly. I roughly looked into it but there’s a lot involved and just wanted to see if you guys had any insight. Thank you!

Not sure if this is the right place to post this. But I was interested in buying a camper from a private seller. It’s about $9000.

So I found a pretty good deal on a 2010 Coleman evolution cobalt pop up camper. Problem is it has no ac. And I didn’t want to go the portable route. I’m wondering if it would be possible to add one on these and how hard it could be. I’m an electrician so I’m sure I could figure it out, but what units do you guys recommend?

I’m really having a hard time finding a camper I can tow with this. I think I saw the towing capacity was only 1500 lbs. realistically could I tow more? What are you guys towing with these specs?

A perfect example of what I’m looking for is the prolite mini, but they are based out of Canada and no dealers near me. But here is the scoop. We have a 2019 Toyota rav4 LE that I believe can tow up to 1700lbs so my choices are pretty limited. We are looking for something you can actually stand up in and would prefer to have sink and cooking inside. We could go the pop up camper route I just hate how ugly they look, and outdated as well. But problem is anything new I see is way over what we would like to spend. I’m trying to stay under $6000 if that’s possible. You guys have any ideas? I live in Lancaster, PA area.

Probably a dumb question but I always thought it was weird that they went through all that work and makeup to give him a laser eye and he doesn’t use it once.

Doing some side work and really never priced out installing shutters before. There are about 13 pairs of shutters im installing the old ones are already taken off and they already have the new ones at their house. I just have to put them up. And it’s only one floor house. These are pretty easy to install but still don’t know what to charge for the job. Ideas?

I’m torn between getting Ready Seal stain or Armstrong Clark stain. I need about 5 gallons, the Armstrong Clark one is about $100 more than the ready seal. Should I just bite the bullet and get the Armstrong Clark ? Or will the ready seal be pretty close in quality? I have a good amount of fence to stain and can’t really afford expensive stain. Thoughts?
