    I need a new lawn mower!

    I have a Bad Boy Outlaw XP with 72” deck and 36 HP Vanguard that I bought new in 2017. It’s a great machine and I’d buy another without hesitation. My only complaint is the paint could be better. Bad Boy has a tire (I think called Raptor) that helps with traction without being too aggressive...

    Water heater recs please

    I hadn’t seen that. Thanks for pointing it out. There are other manufacturers, and I would certainly replace mine with another condensing model when that time comes. I'll have to check on warranty I guess, huh? :confused:

    Water heater recs please

    I recommend you check out condensing water heaters. I have a 50 gallon propane model from Westinghouse that I installed 5 years ago. I’ve never run out of hot water, even with the dishwasher and washing machine going at the same time as taking a shower. Not inexpensive, but amazing. 97%...

    Do I need a general contractor to build a house?

    Geteh, for someone to tell you "No, you can't do it" is a bit condescending IMHO. Self contracting doesn't mean that you're physically doing all the work. It just means that it's up to you to do all the scheduling of subs, materials delivery, etc. It also falls on you to pay the bills on...

    Help, scammers attacking my email

    Unless you have accounts at any of those websites sending you password reset emails, I wouldn’t get too excited. You really have no idea of whether or not those password reset emails are being sent from the vendors website unless you check the email header information. More likely, those are...

    Woodworking? Scroll saw rip fence?

    This would be my solution as well, but on the bandsaw. Put a stop on the backside and you get consistent cuts to the same depth every time.

    Will UAW Strike?

    I know that it says initial quality, but look two lines below and it says problems per 100 vehicles.

    Will UAW Strike?

    I haven‘t read far enough ahead to know if someone pointed it out yet, but this is not an initial quality report, per se. It’a a report of problems per 100 vehicles. According to the chart, Ram is the most trouble free. Compared to ice vehicles, Tesla ranks in the bottom 3, with only Audi and...

    Help !!! Fire Ants !!!

    Try Extinguish Pro Plus. It’s a two part bait that lasts for several months. Takes a few weeks to really take effect, but once it does, you will be happy with the results. Broadcast 2 pounds per acre for best results. Edit: I use bifen too. Extinguish only every couple of years. Bifen every...

    Any bourbon aficionados here?

    Age definitely makes a difference. For you guys that have money to burn, search for a bottle of Pappy Van Winkle 23 year aged. I just found it for $5300. :ROFLMAO: The only reason I know about it is because my nephew flies a bunch of rich guys all around the country. One of his frequent...

    What's it worth?

    I ran the numbers on kubota’s website before buying it, and that was what I came up with. Definitely influenced my decision.
