Welcome to the IHoP v.2

Recommended Posts

So I have written 49% of my month in 10 days. 17 days to finish it up, and another 10%+ carry over from last month.....

I am really gonna try to max this bonus. Need to get the rental repair money back ASAP!

Personally I think I'm coasting at 180% to budget right now. Maybe more. The actual data is weird.

I have been as much as 500% to budget a few days.

If I keep this up I'm going to drop a decent chunk in the IRA.

I was pestering the wife and she judo chopped my arm. Elbow bent backwards and now I'm icing my elbow and my pride.

:-(

Lol

Serves me right for bugging her.

Big heavy pan filled halfway with oil. You MUST have an oil thermometer.

In the long run they will cost just as much as eating them out.

. . . If you have the proper tools and skill.

A carpet streacher is about the only special thing you will need..as far a skill if you can read a tape you should be good to go..

Not quite. Seam iron, tucking and cutting tools, adhesives, you have to know how to read the weave, proper tensioning and stretching techniques, etc. You can install any way you want with any tools, but do it correctly with the correct techniques and tool, and you extend the life two-fold.

No doubt, especially when wings can be 10 cents.

I make some great sauce, but I hate making wings.

Also I'm Chinese at heart and love them Asian inspired and I do not know how to make their wings.

Just bought an 18V Ridgid drill/impact driver/radio kit from HD.  Couldn't pass it up for $200, and my Crapsman finally took a shit.

 I guess that makes sense..I have not laid a whole bunch but the ones I have as far as I know never had any problems and didn't look like shit smile.png Also I guess that the fact the carpet may have a warranty that could be voided by not be installed by a licensed contractor.. Idk  I just like doing things myself when at all possiblesmile.png

 

I prefer tile and hardwood most of the time.

Yea to bad their electrical tools do not have a lifetime warranty..Love the warranty on their hand tools though..But I was pissed when craftsman stopped making sheet metal snips that had a lifetime warranty..Then they started carrying Midwest "though Is great snips" they have no warranty..and on thicker gauge metal it is not uncommon to snap a chunk out of the jaws of a set of snips sad.png

All we have around here in probably a 40 mile radius is a couple of mom&pop sports bars that sells them..And of course your regular pizza joints menu and thats about it.
