Nice job, I like that they fit into the existing eyes. They should be good and sturdy that way. I wear lace-up boots daily, either 10" or 12" tops, and would never have a pair without hooks. You made a good improvement!

You're very welcome!

On the newer ones (last 6-8 years or so at least), yes there is. You just push the "Off" button on the control console. I've installed and maintained two of these, one a 17 and one a 22?(I think), at my son's and parents' homes, within the last few years. Both have whole-house 200 amp automatic...

I'm sorry about that. Losing a canine friend is heartbreaking.

Are they good neighbors? If not, let 'er eat. :p 0800 is not unreasonable any day of the week. A lot of good work gets done by working folks well before then. ;)

Congratulations!! Your life has changed forever now, and for the better. I'm a fan of the name choice. Enjoy your time, they sure grow up fast!

Yep, they're concealed pretty well but they're there, at least on the two samples I've worked on.

Yep, ran into that once myself on a remodel project, with the same experiences you had. Who ever thought it was a good idea to supply heat at the ceiling level anyway? :rolleyes::oops:

At that price I’d jump on a pair!

Yeah, blind PMs reek of fraud, too. I didn't realize he was still on here. Just for what it's worth, on a couple of firearms forums I read, trustworthy/longtime users have had their account hijacked somehow, and the hijacker then sends emails to folks offering whatever they're looking for. The...

That poster only had four posts, looks like, and all four were to sell something. That's usually a bad sign. But those posts were all over a year ago, unless I'm missing something. That horse is out of the barn, through the gate, and has trotted down the lane by now. He's probably even been...

Impressive fuel mileage! Glad you like it so far.

Never seen the "pegging" done, but they used to, and maybe still do, top out the old growth trees by climbing them. If I remember correctly, this was originally a Sanka "commercial", or maybe Maxwell House? They've cut out the part with him pouring from his labeled Thermos:

I hope it turns out to be a good truck for you, you've earned it. I'd push for a partial refund or some kind of goodwill gesture for the month you've not been able to use it and the mileage put on it. As the manager said, "It's now a used truck", why would they expect you to pay a new price for...

You can’t put junk batteries in newer diesels (yes, I’m old enough that I still consider a 7.3 “newer” LOL). These trucks seem particularly sensitive to low voltage, and if the computer isn’t getting enough clean power it just shuts down. Many newer vehicles are like this but the diesels seem...
