ehh seems like they are ok but I'd probably be fine with just one knipex instead of 3 knock offs of differing sizes

NitroSpazzz posted:Sad fact...they don't at least they don't any more. I drive through the area daily and have can't remember ever seeing a kph sign. When taking I75 South into Knoxville there is a sign that is in both, I took way too long finding this stupid thing on google maps to not post it... That is sad, I moved out of Knoxville in 2004 back then they had it on all the signs (now I miss Big Ed's). Other fun stuff: friend's dad worked at y12 and sometimes we'd be at their lake house and his radiation badge would go off and he'd have to go back to the lab and be monitored (he called it sleep lab). Got overtime too.

Guys: a Buick Roadmaster wagon has come into my life and it's very exciting. A gal that skates derby with my girlfriend has a real love for those things and when her fiancee's dad heard about it, he gave her one. She only just got it but she doesn't know anyone else who even likes cars and she wants it to run forever. It's already completed a 150 mile journey home so it runs and drives fine, so it'll likely be little things here and there. First thing: fix the power steering.

It spooked her so she gave it up, don't blame her because it ain't worth the risk unless you can afford to be laid up with broken bones. Cool deal on the Roadmaster tho, post pics.

One of the first classes I taught had a guy break his ankle during a drill who insisted that he was fine and walked out. Derby's fun, just know your limits. Pics of 'master when I get home.

GnarlyCharlie4u posted:Got an offer on the house. HERE WE GO!  Accepted an offer on mine a few days ago myself. Listed for 2.5 weeks which is pretty drat good considering homes in our price range are typically on the market for 60-90 days. Deal was made within $1K of asking price, but they wanted our washing machine, dryer and deep freeze. Deep freeze is no biggie as it's about 15 years old and to be honest a pain in the rear end to move (besides, I could get a newer far more efficient one at Costco for $200) so I guess we're shopping for washers and dryers. Deciding between an Electrolux set or a Speed Queen @2x the price. I am ruling out Samsung or LG due to the absolute nightmare horror stories I've heard of servicing them and parts. Even with the appliances, we're still over our minimum of what we would have taken as a bottom line, so we're happy. Start moving into the new shack end of next week.

Man, I really want to move but it's just not in the cards right now. I have 4 cars (technically 5 until I sell my old daily) with a 2 car garage but otherwise everything is perfect. I'm throwing down almost 800 a month into principal and I paid so little in interest last year that my itemized deductions were actually lower than the standard deduction. Basically I'm going to stay here till my daughter graduates high school and then see what the cards deal us. If she goes to college out of state then I'm probably out of here and will move in with my dad to ride out the last few years of his life. He's 80 and very spry right now but that could change at any time so I want to hang with him as much as I can. If my daughter goes to college locally then I want to stick around and help keep her expenses down.

If nothing else, I think that at least the claims of parts availability problems are mostly b.s. Some people are better at complaining on the internet, then using a search form.

If nothing else, I think that at least the claims of parts availability problems are mostly b.s. Some people are better at complaining on the internet, then using a search form. To be fair I will admit it is completely anecdotal. I personally know 6 people with LG or Samsung laundry pairs, and 4 of those 6 started having problems within 2 years. The all said unanimously the repair guys complained about the lack of parts and support for them versus the North American, or even European brands, and one of them can't even find a local repair person to come out and look at it. Parts availability issues seem to be a common theme that the sales people even admit to if you ask them. Part of the problem seems to be LG and Samsung seem to change their model line up multiple times a year, so by the time your 2-3 year old washer shits the bed it's already 4-5 model generations old. I'm really leaning towards an Electrolux, maybe a Whirlpool/Maytag, or possibly even a Speed Queen but I don't think I can justify the huge jump in $$$ for those for just the two of us. They are supposed to be a commercial front loader without the coin machine and nicer controls. Guts are supposedly identical to a laundromat unit which sounds good but they are literally 2x the price. e: The whole closing costs thing is sort of foreign to me. In Canada at least, the norm is that the seller and buyer both have lawyers that do the bulk of the paperwork and each is responsible for their own costs... although sometimes a seller/buyer may use the same lawyer who will cut them a break. The real estate commissions are paid for out of the sellers side, although of course those funds come from the buyer paying for the house so in a way they're actually the ones paying for them. slidebite fucked around with this message at 21:42 on Apr 21, 2017 |

Whirlpool/Maytag generally has good parts availability, so does Speed Queen. I have no idea on Electrolux, never owned anything from them. I don't think I could justify the cost for a brand new Speed Queen I gave up meth 15 years ago, and I'm far from new

Man, asked a guy when his 944's timing belt was last changed... 5,000 miles ago, in the year 2005. A twelve year old timing belt.. he was pissed when I told him I didn't think it'd make it the hundred miles home unless it was on a flatbed. 944s have an interval of like, 30,000 or every two years, with the tension checked halfway between. edit: lmao "car is better than you deserve" when I asked how old the tires were.

Yeah, I love my keypad deadbolt. Being able to not ever have to remember keys if I'm going out for a walk is great, as is being able to set up temporary codes for house/pet-sitters and the like.
