My biggest gripe is people bitching about contractors running up the cost of housing, when it is local building code enforcement that is actually running up the cost. I've been building long enough to remember when we didn't have foundations that you could build the empire state building on...

I grew up just as the digital age was really starting to take off. Looking back on how things were at that time I have an opinion on it. I will give mine somewhere along the line as this thread moves a long. Simple question do you think the digital age has made life easier or harder. List...

I've gotten to the point where being a GC is just miserable. Between quality supply issues, overpriced shitty labor, complexity, and clients inspecting every nook and cranny, it has become impossible to want to keep doing this shit much longer. I often think what I would like to do. I don't...

I saw this on FB market for $4500 and thought there might be someone on this site that either wants to restore it or needs a complete 5.4 dohc for another project...

I'm all for this. I don't think hardly anyone makes it to the pro level without some kind of help. As I get older, I also think it would be interesting to know how these drugs really affects people...

My wife and I own a design build company. We get a lot of tire kickers, but sometimes they just rub you the wrong way. So we get an email from a potential client that attaches a laundry list of items. Says he already has the money financed for the job. Convert the existing garage to new...

I need an Eaton BJ2150 breaker to finish out a job. My electrician had it ordered and they shipped it to the wrong address back in December. He ordered another one and it was supposed to be here last week. He has now been told that it will not arrive until August. I need this breaker to...

So one of the few things in life that I really enjoy is grabbing a coffee and a danish or scone on the way to work. This morning I go in and get my usual drip coffee and danish and noticed that price went from $6.65 to $8.88 and on top of that I tip $2.00. I already thought $6.65 was high, but...

If you want to save our way of life, throw whatever spare change you can at this fund. I bought in a week ago and I've been telling all of my friends about it. I don't even care if I make or lose the money I have in this. Someone has to fight the executives that are ruining companies by...

Has anyone else noticed that their neighborhoods seem to have turned into a shipping lane? I work from home sometimes and it seems like my dogs go off every hour due to some kind of truck coming through the neighborhood. Daily, I have 1 garbage, 1 recycling ever other week, 2 Amazon trucks...

Damn this is a lot of money https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1993-ford-saleen-mustang-sc-convertible-2/?fbclid=IwAR1ou7kWWaepdODKzffl2NeKiWX1bU8ELYZPPm9c8dCEKlzch5olcV9YTOU

Does anyone have a health insurance plan that lets you control where you go to get care? The last two times I needed to get care, I could have gone to the orthopedic center and had my surgery done with less headache and at a much lower cost. Insurance wouldn't pay for their care facility and...

I've always wanted a saleen s-351, but I always knew I'd pay a huge premium and never keep it stock anyway. Last year I decided to build one instead. I had a black 95 gts as my second mustang and always miss that car. When I started my search, a laser red 95 gts with 90k miles popped up and I...

Does anyone have pics of these wheels on a laser red sn95? SVE Mustang Series 3 Wheel Kit -18x9/10 - Satin Bronze (94-04) SVE Mustang Series 2 Wheel Kit - 18x9/10 - Satin Bronze (94-04)

I saw one of these yesterday, I couldn't believe how ugly it was in person. Ford, you suck for producing this gay ass shit.

You know how there are areas in your town where two lane merge to one and everyone tries to speed around you and cut you off? Last night we were at one of these spots, and there was just us and one other truck on the road. He had all day for a couple of miles to get over either in front or...

I didn't want to derail the other thread anymore, so let's discuss it here. Here is my take on it. I've known several insurance brokers over the years and they all are living in expensive homes. I believe every bit of insurance is one big scam and we would all be better of self insuring...

So I came home from work and took a shower. When I got out of the shower, I went to the bed room to put on some clothes. I didn't turn the lights on and my wife left a square flower pot in the hall, and I jammed my little toe into it, and my toe went side ways. She hasn't made it home yet and...

Is anyone else completely pissed off that Photo****et has destroyed 20 years of automotive information. Damn near every how thread I read, that is over a couple years old, is now missing all the pictures. I understand it is a private business, but when you offer free hosting for pics, you...

I just got my insurance renewal and my insurance just about doubled. Here in Georgia, tickets 14mph and under were never went on your mvr. About a year ago my wife got a ticket for 9mph over in South Carolina. The officer showed us where we could mail it and it was a $70 ticket. Obviously we...

I have had some parts for sale for a while on a couple of forums and on Facebook groups. I have them priced about half price of new. They don't seem to generate any interest. I'm guessing either enough people have been burned on used forum parts that they buy new or people just are modding...

I'm having a bit of a problem in my area, and I am wondering if this is nations wide and what is the solution. The problem is not just finding quality subs, but finding any sub to do drywall and roofing. Roofing is kind of messed up right now because of the damage from the recent hurricane...

I am having a problem with my heating and air. It will not switch between heat and air without flipping the breakers. When I switch it from heat to cool or vice versu, the fan will come on, but It will not heat or cool until I turn the breakers off and let the unit reset. My unit is a lennox...

I just quit a job 2.5 years ago because I didn't get a raise for 7 years. I summed that up to the economy. I was planning on going in business for myself, but I got a job offer that passed on an opportunity that I couldn't pass up as long as I stayed for 2 years. I have been eligible for my...

I am having a hard time figuring out how to change the color for my slide bar and the top of my internet page? Right now it is a very light beige color that is so close to white that I can't ever find my slide bar. It is extremely annoying. I can changed the taskbar colors, but it doesn't...
