I had some minor damage to my fence and back of my house during last nights storm. I already fixed the fence but I need a few pieces of vinyl siding in the back replaced. I have the material but I don't know how to do the job. Does anyone know someone who does this kind of work and might be looking for a side job? I'm located in the Toms River area.

I know it doesn't answer your question, and don't know what you are comfortable trying to do yourself, but it's actually pretty easy to do. My son had several pieces that were damaged in a storm. I picked up a vinyl siding removal tool (big name for a simple tool) at Lowe's, watched a few videos and made the repair. I'm in my late 60's and never worked with vinyl siding before.

Be careful. Vinyl siding can crack when it's cold. Other than that, and accessibility, it's not hard. Also depending on color/age/sun exposure of installed siding the new siding may look like a dif color. Just things to be aware of but definitely check out vids.

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
