  1. None of them are technically safes until you spend the equivalent to a car (I'm looking at you Graffunder ). The Stackons are just sheet metal cabinets with a shitty lock. Meets the requirements of keeping them under lock but can be opened with a big screwdriver and a hammer in less than a minute. I don't even believe the Winchester and other like it are even RSC rated. Once you get into the $1500+ you typically get one that is UL RSC listed (some of the AmSec and Browing). If you spend some true 1% $$$ you can get something that would truly be considered a safe and at that point you just get the safe door and have a built in vault/saferoom. Regardless of what you get, spent the time and $ to bolt it to the floor, preferably on a concrete slab, with captive bolts that go all the way through the slab. If you can have it where the side opposite the hinge is against a wall as this eliminates using bodyweight on a prybar attack.
  2. It's one slide that says: Fuck You! Pay me! The dude could sell ice to eskimos.
  3. Fixed.
  4. Plumbing is easy, only gotta know 4 things: Hot on the left/Cold on the right, Shit flows downhill, payday is Friday and don't bite your fingernails.
  5. You pull your phone out of your purse to make those calls?
  6. Not really sure. Seems more like a protector vs a brake or any thing like that.

  8. I posted this up last Thanksgiving after Dad and I spent some time going through his safe. L to R: M48 Mauser, K98 Mauser, H& R Garand, Sks, Remington 1917 Enfield in 30-06, Springfield 1903 in 30-06, Sporterized Remington 1903 in 30-06 with a 3x7 scope on swing away.
  9. I get the show up early rather than late statements but I used to work with a sales guy who always was 30+ minutes early to a sales appointment, then show up and ask to be seen then vs waiting around for the agreed appointment time. Used to piss me off whenever I'd go make calls with him because he wanted to be early and then impatient about waiting around until the customer expected us.
  10. Fixed it for how much I piss when I drink a lot of beer.
  11. Measure twice, you can still hit the joists. Ask me how I know. Also, a 6 3/8" hole saw make this job really easy. Makes a mess but quick and easy.
  12. These are very easy to put in. We had some painting done at our place last month and prior to the painting, I remove and old wood trim fixture and a couple of 48" tube lights. Had the painters, texture the ceiling and paint. We marked off locations and installed the above lights. Took an hour or so. Biggest time was marking off the locations and making sure you won't hit any joists, wiring or pipes in the ceiling.
  13. Sounds like this could be one phase of a 2022 Uncle Rico Combine https://www.surlyhorns.com/board/index.php?/topic/6145-uncle-rico-cant-even-throw-the-ball-80-yards-you-dumbass/
  14. double tapa'd
  15. Fixed it.
  16. Get you some pex tools, brass elbows & tees, some pex tube and crimps. Also need a few hose clamps and the brass 1/2 NPS to pex elbow that are used on faucets and valves. The plastic ones used by the mfr break, same as the plastic check valve on the water heaters. I use a couple of the Klein zipper bags to keep plumbing and electrical supplies/spare parts organized in a tube that goes in the pass through. Works great since I can grab a bag and my normal tool bag and get to work. While your at it, add some thermal fuses for the water heater and a sail switch for the furnace and you will cover the most common failure issues with those systems.
  17. Took the trailer up to our family property last weekend and stayed for a couple of nights. Didn't do much other than check a few game camera's, shoot a few guns and cook. Had the generator and actually ran the A/C for a bit on Friday evening when it was muggy. First time doing that with the genset and happy to see it worked ok. Nice weekend with the wife and son. We always bring the trailer to the house the day before a trip to load up and get the fridge cooled off. When hooking up the power I noticed that the 50a twistlock wasn't really clicking in like it should. I messed with it a bit a little piece of plastic fell out and then it twisted ok. I looked and it just seemed like one of the edges and wasn't a big deal. Fastforward to the next day when connecting at camp and the whole inside of the connector had broken away. Opps. Was able to remove the outside cover and fish the plug part back out and connect with the cord and wrap the whole thing with duct tape and was good for the weekend. You can see my trash bag weather proofing in the last pic. I've had the a spare receptacle and connector on my spare parts amazon list since we bought the trailer but never got around to ordering them. Well, they should arrive tonight and I should be good to go on the next trip.
  18. No tags? GW Benny Richards would not be happy about that.
  19. As least it’s above water, so you got that going for you.
