Since Napa generally sells better quality than AutoZone and Advance Auto Parts, I bought my new compressor from them. I opened up the literature and realized that it looked awfully familiar. A quick Googling generated my answer: Four Seasons is a division of Standard Motor Products… the parent company of Factory Air. Oh you asses. I’ve got a […]
Oh Factory Air, how doth thee suck? Let me count the ways. What a shit company. Did I say that already? I was trying to replace my A/C clutch. It’s not that easy, but it’s not rocket surgery. Here’s how it is supposed to work: Step 1: Remove captive nut Step 2: Remove retaining ring […]
I got an email from Diamond verifying that a maple tree has been felled, sawn into lumber, kiln dried, and is now being squared, formed, planed, dadoed, grooved, ripped, sawn, routed, sanded, stained, and assembled into our new cabinets. They dont know exactly when the the cabinets will be done, but they expect that delivery will occur some […]
I hate plumbing. I do. It just pisses me off. I don’t mind starting a project from scratch, but what I do mind is fixing someone else’s work. When you plumb for the first time, you can set everything up very nicely. Lay out your work, cut all your pieces to size, glue, thread, or […]
Oh man was it hot today. I spent about 4 hours in my car today, and serendipitously my air conditioner decided to completely crap out… again. I have a thermometer in my car’s air vent to tell me the temperature of the air, so I can keep tabs on my A/C system that I rebuilt. […]
This is what the Blazer looks like with 3/4 of a ton of crap in the back. My car took it like a champ, but I certainly wasn’t the first off the line when the light turned green. That concrete didn’t stay in my car long, as you […]
Well, you know it’s a party when you bring out a Margarita mixer that measures capacity in cubic feet. With a 30 gallon capacity, you know you can get the whole neighborhood drunk and have enough blackmail material to retire in no time! I am very pleased with my mixer. At first, I was cruising […]
On Saturday, Jamie came up and we did a ton of work. Literally! And here’s what a ton of work looks like: That’s 150 pounds of rock, 21 80 pound bags of concrete, 6 pounds of water per bag, and a couple rebars, and we’re up to 1962 pounds. Add in all the dirt we […]
There’s a very good chance that I’m going to have to explain my project to a police officer before I finish. There are piles of dirt in a trench in my yard that only grow under moonlight and nobody has seen my wife in over a week. I’m sure this photograph won’t help my […]
Well, here it is y’all. The Digmaster 9000. What you see here is simply the greatest feat of engineering that the world has ever seen. The Digmaster 9000 is 1.21 Gigawatts of pure digging prowess. I love this new tool, and so do a lot of people. I am a little upset that current vernacular would […]
