  1. BIL hires the guys and is more worried about potential and where they are now than much else.
  2. My BIL runs a big stainless welding shop and that is exactly what he does. I'd not hesitate at all to do so. Worst case offer to have them hire you at $8/hr for the first two weeks why you learn if they are unsure. Beware of getting stuck, but maybe make a map from $8 to $17 and how long you expect to show them you are worth it.I have been on celery for all most 15 years...I made some Chow Mein last night and used celery
  3. Wait, it is longer in fwd than rev?? Congrats on the house btw. thanks, I'm very excited to tear into the house. I build houses for a living so I already have a laundry list of things to do to make it how I want Yeah the truck coming in forward hits the tire stop and is about 6" from the wall, but that isn't enough to get the rear bumper within the garage door tracks. If I back it in I would hit the wall before the tire bump, but I'll put some 2x material there to make a tire bump that I hit before the wall. It's a lesser of two evils thing, but I'll probably go with backing it in since I won't have to modify the truck at all. I really don't like roll pans and installing one just to be able to pull into the garage seems like a dumb thing to do. I've never seen a concrete tire stop before. Didn't even notice it in the picture, lol. Amusing since I looked at over 300 houses before buying this one and have since probably at least seen 200 more.
  4. You need a bigger garage.

  8. Seems as it is always a big deal..Sometimes I think of myself as the SSA whipping boy You like to be whipped obviouslyYou like whipping me The thing is you like whipping yourself. I just make it noticeable.
  9. One thing I like about you though is you say whats on your mind and dont "sugar coat" shit. When i first joined SSA Forum a little over a year ago I thought you were a rude asshole no offense... but now I think your cool lol You think I'd take offense at that? I want people to think and when you sugar coat it they want you to think for them. That doesn't help and if you don't want to be helped I can't (and no one) can help you. All good.
  10. I take everything too far. Always have, always will
  11. Seems as it is always a big deal..Sometimes I think of myself as the SSA whipping boy I like to mess with your head a little but some people take it a little to far, like I've said before I like chatting with you, you actually make the HOP more interesting with some of the shit you say. Key word some
  12. I get to see my son do that next Monday.

  14. Bout time slow ass
  15. Has always lived there. Note his posting times
  16. Don't fuck with his family they will drink yer blood
  17. Who's doing the work on the car? Make sure before you throw money at the car that it is indeed a bad unit. For example on my truck the speed sensors always show 3mph since they require voltage to operate and never get to 0mph on the tech2 scanner. To the untrained eye seeing 3mph sitting still would be a huge red flag but in this case it's normal. ABS light can also mean bad wheel bearing so I would jack the vehicle up and grab the wheel at 12 and 6 and rock the wheel to see if there's movement. It only takes a little wobble to make the ABS sensor lose signal and even a millisecond of lost signal will trigger the ABS light/code.I'll be doing any work on the vehicle.Oh shit your fucked. 1. You're 2. Some probably know more about cars than you do 1. I do not know a lot about cars yet, so yes there are a lot of people that know more about cars then me including yourself.2. What are you some kind of a fuckin English professor lol he could teach english where he lives but it sure as shit ain't his first language

  22. Congrats! Travel is fun for a bit. Don't rush home during your time off. You are in a neat part of the world, explore!!
  23. Thin stuff disappears even if deep, thick and deep will need paint.
  24. yeah I realized that after I already bought 160sqft of deadener... back before I started this project I did a ton of research on deadening and it usually brought me to older threads, some of which were on here. Back in the day the preferred method was what I did here with 100% coverage and sometimes double or triple layers, but apparently methods and science have changed since late 2000's. Since I already had the deadener, I just decided to do 100% coverage and according to the knuckle test it helps resonance on the panels with 100% coverage better than just 25%. This might not apply to actual music or any actual scientific testing, but I did notice a difference by ear so I went ahead and finished what I started. This was my first time deadening so like any project, I learned a lot and will use a different strategy going forward. Thanks for the compliments though, I try to pull of quality work with everything I do Well it also has some mass...just not much compared to MLV. Got it, might as well use it.
  25. How is the Kno Knoise? Is that Kolossus or resonance control? Resonance control. I've never installed other deadener so I can't do any kind of comparison, but this stuff was very easy to use and pretty thick. I don't have any speakers hooked up yet but from the knuckle test on the panels it sounds much better. I foam filled the voids on the back wall so it gives a nice thud instead of a symbol crash... Here's a progress pic from Saturday that shows what kind of coverage I did on floor and roof. The c pillars and back wall were untreated at the time of this picture You do realize that while your work is nice looking that it is horrible overkill and way past diminishing returns. Having 100% coverage is necessary for MLV but not deadener. Work looks GREAT though.
