So, I want to just give this dude the deposit on the land with a reciept, clear it for my soil scientist dude to do the perc test then have my legal team draft the contract cause I'm tired of waiting.

Please, seek legal counsel on the land purchasing thing, that's definitely A Lawyer Thing

Please do it so you can keep updating the rest of the crazy saga :cheersbird:

The draw of an ambulance is the electrical is all upgraded with a more powerful inverter with idle system set for power production and reduced engine wear and gas usage. Along with a built-in 240 input for stationary charging and use. And since they are built to defined known standards and have strict maintenance requirements you can know what your getting. Get a duramax engine and it won't die.

A little more money but cut out all that risky electrical stuff your kill yourself with if you do it wrong, and have built in storage inside and outside! :science:

Your advice is actually really cool, thanks!

Interesting story, I was once saving up for a business idea where I would make sapphires and rubies. IIRC it was like a 20k investment and involved an oxygen torch.

I will probably just get a wash tub and wringer.

I use to just use a 5 gallon bucket or a sink and just plunger it in detergent then cook the clothes in the oven to dry them when I was in college. It actually got them cleaner than a traditional washer. They have manual laundry spinners now, so I might do that.

I actually own a manual laundry spinner! Was gonna rec you try one out

It saved my rear end at the beginning of the pandemic. It's broke 3 separate times and currently has a screwdriver as a handle, but it still works. The price disparity between ours, which I think was maybe a bill, versus a foot powered one, was like $200, was loving absurd

Here is a glimpse of my stalled woodshed.


Started bringing in the doors to dry. I didn't see any damage yet. I have to decide where to put my workbench on the land of MurderHaus. I was thinking of just creating a lean-to type structure for it to reside under. It doesn't have a top because it was suppose to essentially be a boat making workbench and the joists are station markers that I attach the frame supports to. Before I closed shop, I had made a few odds and ends such as a clothes rack and bookcase a few more things for various women I've dated and a couple sail boat rudders.

All of your photos look like there's a shower blasting out steam right out of frame, lol

Look, I ran afoul of this thread so I've come back to make amends. Comments like this aren't constructive at all. I know, because I made them too.

What we need are real solutions for Rys problems, and sitting around shitposting isn't going to make this happen.

I have begun my experiments in how to use a power saw without all the noise. In this first attempt I've tried to duplicate the things Ry will have access to on his job site and removed the battery from the saw so you know I'm not trying to pull a fast one on any of you.

The setup needs a bit of work, but it's seriously almost perfect as it is. Just a few clamps and it should be totally efficient.

Why are your so attached to GroverTruk, Ry? Honest question, like, it's a money pit and you should sell it, but you're not gonna. We're accepting that(as long as you are safe please be safe) Tell us why!

Are the bones of an ancient astrological/defecatory tribe welded to the undercarriage? Does your soul reside in the engine while your mortal coil is forced to toil endlessly on the containment vessel?

My boss is a 20 year retired patrolman, and my other room mate was a sheiffs deputy for several years. I've gone to dinner with several of the officers in the area as a result. Plus I am generally a known quantity everywhere I go for various reasons. I typically establish good relations with the popo and local government. I'm not a bootlicker by any stretch of the means but I am rather personable in real life and the games I play.

what do you think "good relations" with cops is going to get you? cause they're not your friends, and they're going to gently caress your life so hard when you stop living under your idiot boss's protection

Its not that bad honestly.. I was reversing my diabetes precovid pretty well. but I decided to hold off my treatment incase others needed medical treatment last year. Then my insurance switched this year so once I straighten that out I will be back on track again.

there is no way in gently caress that you are "reversing your diabetes ... pretty well" when you were, before this thread, eating upwards of 10k of sodium every day. like, you're eating fast food as your primary source of caloric intake. do you know how much sugar is in a loving mcgriddle or whatever the gently caress?

you also know like.. you can't straight up reverse T2D, right? you can go into remission, but symptoms can (and most likely will) come back at some point.
